I use Macro Express for a lot of apps, sometimes just to open an app window. It does not do this for Directory Opus because (apparently) DO does not show its app name in the title. Does anyone know how to open its window using a macro in Macro Express? Or how to display the DO app name in its own window?
Thanks.

Window titles are fully configurable, but that would only let you bring an existing window to the front or reatore a minimised window. Window titles don’t come into opening new windows of apps.
What are you aiming to do?
You can completely customize DOpus' window title:
Preferences / Display / Options / Custom title
You can put any text you want in there and also use codes to add information. For a macro system, I'd suggest something like:
DOpus - %T
By default, your window titles in DOpus are just the current folder. The %T code is a code that puts the original title back into the title. So, by putting DOpus - in front of the %T, you'll have a permanent DOpus at the beginning of the title followed by the current folder so you can still identify one window from another if you want.
The codes are listed on this page:
Display Options (gpsoft.com.au)
Note that you can always press F1 in the Preferences box and it will load the Help page for the current settings tab you're viewing.
Also, you can search Preferences. For example, to find the setting above more easily, I typed "title" in the search box in the lower left to quickly find where the window title bar settings are located.
You can also create system-wide hotkeys in Opus itself, which is usually easier than using a separate macro program to set up hotkeys to open Opus windows. (Assuming that is the aim.)
Aiming to bring DO to forefront. DesertDwarf just gave me what I needed.
DesertDwarf,
Thank you! Your info worked!
