kruger used our newssubmit to tell us that the best Filemanager on amiga known as Directory Opus now found his way to PCDirectory Opus 6 for Windows now shipping!
GP Software is pleased to announce that after 2 years of development
and over 300,000 lines of source code, Directory Opus 6 for Windows is
finally available!
Those of you who remember Directory Opus on the Amiga will recall that it was always known for its unique and innovative design, bringing unheralded power to all types of user. In fact, Directory Opus for the Amiga was the most popular and top-selling file manager/directory utility for the Amiga. |
Directory Opus 6 for Windows is no different. We have taken the
familiar Windows Explorer interface and extended it to provide a
complete Explorer Replacement which can be easily configured to your
needs. If you liked Directory Opus for the Amiga, you'll love Directory
Opus 6 for Windows. Finally you can have control of your files back
again!
A full list of features is impossible to describe in this email, but briefly:
Brand New Design:
Directory Opus has been totally redesigned and rewritten from the
ground up for Windows.
Familiar Interface:
Unlike many other file managers, Directory Opus defaults to an
Explorer-compatible user interface. You can immediately begin
using Directory Opus, with no learning curve, because it will feel
extremely familiar and comfortable to you. However, you will find
that you can easily configure the interface to fully personalize your
system.
Fully Configurable Menus, Toolbars and Hotkeys:
Directory Opus supports unlimited menus and toolbars. Toolbars
can be attached to any side of a Lister display or can be
independent free-floating windows. Directory Opus Opus supports
user-configurable hotkeys, both for use within Opus, and globally
throughout the system. The Windows key is also fully supported!
True Multitasking:
The object-orientated multi-threaded design gives you unheralded
power to perform multiple operations at the same time. Why should
you have to wait for your computer to finish? Now you can begin
one task and immediately move on the next. Zip one folder whilst
unzipping into another, at the same time as you are downloading
files from a remote FTP site and copying yet more files between
your local folders, independently and reliably.
Built-in ZIP And FTP Support:
Throw away your external ZIP and FTP programs - Directory Opus
lets you access ZIP files and FTP sites as easily as local folders!
You can copy files from anywhere and to anywhere - even from an
FTP site straight into a ZIP file!
Support For Common Image And Sound Files:
Directory Opus supports most common image and sound file
formats. It provides a quick yet powerful image viewer which lets
you view your pictures without having to load a large paint program!
It also provides a Thumbnails-style view of your folders, which lets
you preview a large number of images and quickly locate the one
you are looking for.
Enhanced Finding and Searching:
Directory Opus lets you quickly locate the files you need, with an
extremely powerful search system. Does Explorer let you search for
Led Zeppelin MP3 files recorded at a bit rate of 160 sometime
between last Thursday and today? Opus does!
This is just a sample of the many features that Directory Opus 6 for
Windows offers, which make it the most powerful file management
solution available today for any platform.
The download links on their webpage doesn't work, so i couldn't test it.
I don't think it beats Windows Commander from Ghisler.
