This toolbar has some very simple buttons which may streamline the process of using a temporary "scrap" collection to collect a bunch of files.

The Send to Scrap button adds the selected files & folders to a collection called Scrap.

Clear Scrap removes the current contents of the Scrap collection.

Go to Scrap opens the Scrap collection in a new tab.

Go to Scrap (in Dual) opens the Scrap collection in a new tab in the dual display (so you can view your current folder and the collection at the same time).

All of the buttons will create the Scrap collection if it doesn't already exist.

This is for Directory Opus 9.1.1.4 or above. On earlier versions you may see some problems.

Updates:

- 10/Dec/2011: The two 'Go' buttons now work in folders like My Computer.
