![]() In a dual-lister window the drive buttons will affect the Source side by default, but you can change this so that a left-click on a drive always opens it on the left and a right-click opens it on the right. You can have multiple sets of drive buttons and are able to filter each by drive letters and types of device. For example, if a new network drive is mapped or a USB memory card is inserted it will appear in your toolbar ready to use. The Drive Buttons toolbar item will generate a dynamic list of all devices in the system, automatically adding and removing them as required. I separate my fixed and removable drives. It's really convenient when you're able to instantly jump to a drive or common location by clicking a button that's on the toolbar, always there and always ready. You'll probably find it's worth putting these buttons on your toolbar for speedy navigation. Opus has the abilitly to put drive buttons, as well as buttons which take you to any other location, directly on the toolbar. The options for the starting point are: Desktop, My Computer, Drives or the Current Drive only.Īs well as the dual-tree, this demonstrates customizable tooltips. You can also decide at which level the tree starts and thus how much extra stuff is displayed in the tree at any given time. Opus gives you the choice of sharing a single tree for both sides of a dual lister or having two trees, one for each side. Speaking of folder trees, you won't see many in my screenshots, because I'm not a big fan of them, but if you feel differently then there's no need to worry. This is really useful when managing several child directories and is often preferable to the folder tree. ![]() You can create an action such as shift-double-click, or middle-mouse button double-click, which will open the selected directory in the other side of a dual lister, switching to dual mode first if required. There are also buttons and hotkeys for duplicating and swapping the two sides with each other. When Lister Docking is enabled in Preferences you can drag two single listers together to join them into a dual lister, and you can drag half of a dual lister apart to split it into two single listers. The two sides can view different folders in different modes. Of course, you can still copy and move files between different windows via drag and drop, as you'd expect. You can open as many dual listers as you like and you're free to mix and match them with normal listers. Operations with a source and destination, such as a copy or move, happen from one side to the other. The two halves can be arranged either horizontally or vertically and there's a button to quickly switch between the two as needed. Dual listers are like the more traditional file managers where you have two directories in one window. ![]() While Opus does behave like Explorer, in that you can open as many windows as you like and copy files between them, it also has a Dual Lister mode which you can toggle via a toolbar button or hotkey. This section lists some of the bigger features you'll find in Opus. Opus has many tools, modes and, for lack of a better word, features which allow you to do things which you may not have found easy, or possible, before.
