Directory Opus Manual

Date and time fields let you configure the date format, the time format, or both. For example,

As you can see in the examples, D# is used to mark the date format, T# is used to mark the time format, and A# indicates both date and time codes are present. See the Codes for date and time page for information on date and time formats.

Numeric fields let you control zero-padding. For example,

The filename can be retrieved without the file extension using {name|noext}.

You can also access some columns that aren't part of the standard set of columns shown above. These can come from various places - third-party shell namespace extensions can provide custom columns, as can Opus plugins. Additionally, Zip and FTP define several columns that are only valid in those types of folders. In Opus, these columns all appear under the Other category. To refer to one of these columns from a command you need to know the name of the column, and then use the appropriate prefix to indicate that you want to use a special column.

Columns provided by shell extensions (as in the screenshot above) are prefixed with sh: in Opus - the keyword for the column is the name shown in the list without spaces.

For example, to add the SVN Status column you might use the command Set COLUMNSADD sh:svnstatus.

Columns provided by plugins (e.g. the 7-Zip plugin) must be prefixed by the name of the plugin DLL (e.g. opus7zip:packed).

The following column keywords are provided by Opus but only valid in certain folders:

• FTP keywords are only valid in an ftp:// path
• Zip keywords are only valid when viewing a Zip archive
• 7-Zip keywords are only valid when viewing an archive handled by the 7-Zip plugin
• Computer keywords are only valid when viewing the native Computer folder
