V13 lister button locations and copying active path

Help & Support
1

Quick question about V13. Can I have the same header layout on each lister as V12? Have experimented with the settings but am after the following:

  • Back/forward/up buttons on left not right. This is just how my brain works after decades of using Opus.
  • Path copyable from header. Very often I select that path and paste it somewhere else. I see you can do it by right clicking in the tree and saying 'copy full pathname' but I'd like to be able to select/edit and copy it in that header.

Thanks

Check Preferences / Location Bar / Toolbars / Display as a toolbar.

I've tried all those, between 'static' and the like. If there's a config that just provides what v12 did, that would be fine.

The default setting should achieve this. Try resetting the page in the preferences.

Thanks for your help lxp. Here is what I have in v13 after a full factory reset of everything (though I do see 'drives' in the toolbar at the top and didn't think that was there by default).

The light coloured one is v12, and is what I'd like it to be like. Significantly different. Any other ideas?

It looks like you've added the favorites list to the location toolbar. Easiest way to fix it is probably to go into Customize/Toolbars, right-click the Location toolbar and factory reset it.

Perfect, thanks Jon! That does set it to what I was hoping for.

I'd have expected that to happen as part of settings -> Factory reset ALL, so that's interesting.

The options to reset one or all pages via the Preferences menu only affect Preferences.

To reset the entire configuration, including toolbars etc., you can do that via Settings > Backup & Restore > Reset in Opus 13. Or uninstall Opus, then install it again.

Ok, good to know, thanks for that. A little tooltip to that effect might be one for the backlog - if I see a button with "Factory Reset - ALL" I would expect that to take me back to square one!

The thing is that toolbars are not part of Preferences; that's why there's a separate dialog (Customize) for configuring them.

Yep, fully understand that, and makes sense if your mental model of Opus is detailed, but as a new or casual user just wanting to reverse bad decisions, it's odd to do a factory reset and have change s you've made persist. In an ideal world, that factory reset dialog would have a few checkboxes for including/excluding the major categories - preferences, lister layouts, favourites etc.

Anyway, thanks so much for your help!

If you want to reset everything, that's done here:

If you only want to reset specific things (e.g. Preferences, or Toolbars, or File Types) then that's done in the places you edit those things.

The confirmation dialog when resetting all Preferences pages shoulde make it clear that it only affects Preferences pages:

(If you're still using Opus 12, the messages may be different, and the first thing shown didn't exist yet, but these things were already improved some time ago.)

Makes sense. Thanks!
