So... exactly where would I find how to edit the format of the hover popup that appears for images?

I've only ever used the default settings, but this should be it.

Preferences -> File Display Modes -> Thumbnails

For more technical stuff, I'd ask on the Directory Opus Forum. They're very quick to respond and know their stuff.

Found it:
Settings | FIle Types | (select extension) | Edit | Info Tip

Got the larger thumbnails to appear for both movies and images with {thumbnail:1:512} as a field to be displayed there.

Mind boggling!

I see you now have to pay for updates after 1 year on initial update. Previous users get 2 years for V13.
It was free, V12 has been updating for several years all free.
Never mind, it won't stop me. I've purchased V13 already.
Now to watch the video!

A quick question - can we just install over V12 or do we need to uninstall 12 first?

allan · Jan 29, 2024

You don't have to uninstall. I don't recall if the installer uninstalled V12 or not, but either way it's automated.

It's baffling how powerful this program is!
Think MS would ever go that route???... not in a million years, I suspect.

How does Directory Opus handle OneDrive? One of my computers uses OneDrive Files On Demand, my main computer doesn't, and completely mirrors OneDrive. I would need a OneDrive Status column, like Windows File Explorer has, that shows how a file is currently being handled by OneDrive.

Junctions or not, it shouldn't have any affect on Directory Opus.

It looks good, but I can't afford it for four computers. And I suspect neither can my senior students, most of whom are on a fixed income.

Has anyone ever used Flat View? It can be handy if you want to see all files beneath all sub-folders instead of having to drill down and open all of them up individually. Plus, the additional benefit is, you get to view them all in one lister.

If you've never used it, you select the "Folder" menu, then select either; Grouped, Mixed or Mixed (No Folders).
