~~Title: Default Toolbars & Menus~~
== Directory Opus 13 - Detailed release notes ==
* General:
* The Customize dialog's Default Toolbars tab (discussed above) provides a way to highlight new commands. (See [[customize|Customize]].)
* If you have custom toolbars and don't want to reset them, you can drag individual items out of the Default Toolbars tab.
* Middle-click to open in a new tab:
* Most buttons which go to folders now support middle-click to open in a new tab.
* If a tab for the folder already exists, it will be activated instead of opening a new tab, unless it is already the active tab, in which case a second tab for it will open.
* Similarly, right-click opens a context menu for the target folder.
* This functionality automatically applies to any simple button which runs (or generates) a command to go to a specific path.
* Includes the Up (Parent), Back and Forward buttons.
* Includes Favorites, Recent, Drive Buttons, and menus generated via "Go FOLDERCONTENTS".
* Does not include commands that use conflicting arguments like MULTIFUNC, NEW, NEWTAB, etc.
* Does not include "three-Buttons", which have explicit middle-click or right-click actions.
* "Menu" toolbar:
* Edit > Copy Other > Checksums -- Now a submenu, and includes the BLAKE3 algorithm.
* Edit > Calculate BLAKE3 Checksums -- Calculates and shows BLAKE3 hashes in the file display.
* Edit > Select Other > Select Empty Folders.
* Edit > Select Other > Select Zero-Byte Folders.
* Edit > Select Other > Select Expanded Folder Items -- After expanding one or more folders, use this to select everything below them. (See Expandable Folders under [[file_display|File Display]].)
* Edit > Select Other > Select Duplicates -- The same as the [[duplicates|Duplicate Files]] "Select" button. Useful if the panel is hidden.
* Tools > Find Presets -- A list of your Find presets, plus commands to find empty folders in or below the current directory.
* Tools > Convert Images > Save As -- Now includes any defined image conversion presets.

* Copy Files > Copy Settings -- Shortcut to the corresponding Preferences page.
* New Folder > Move to New Folder -- Prompts for a name and moves all selected items into a new sub-folder.
* New Folder > Move to Dated Folder -- Moves all selected items into a new sub-folder with YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS name for natural sorting. (Not technically new, but in a new place.)

* Delete > Secure Empty Recycle Bin -- Does a multi-pass "secure" erase of the Recycle Bin.

* Sub-menus for other favorites and Quick Access locations, including drive letters and special folders like Recycle Bin.
* "File Display" toolbar:
* When the Favorites Bar is on, the File Display toolbar's Favorites icon/menu is hidden. It will reappear automatically if the Favorites Bar is then turned off.

* There are also new top-level buttons to toggle Lister-Linked, and (if fullscreen) move to other monitors.
* Context menus:
* Context menus that contain "Open Containing Folder" now include a second "...in New Tab" option. (Removed unnecessary "open container in tabs" setting.)
* The "Column Header" context menu has several changes to support new grouping and column-freezing functionality. We recommend resetting your copy to the defaults if they are missing.
* "Folder Tabs" context menu is new. This used to be a hardcoded menu and can now be edited.
