Because it is much simpler than a full scripting language like JScript, it can be used in a number of places in Directory Opus to provide customisability where full scripting would be too slow. text/html 2023-08-18T22:35:47+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=file_operations&rev=1692398147&do=diff While Opus has a lot of features, its file management functions are the most important (it is a file manager, after all!).

Here's what Opus offers: * Ease of Use: Opus functions similarly to Explorer by default. If you've used Explorer, you'll know how to use Opus. * Configurability: You can customize almost every part of Opus, from toolbar buttons to the background color of compressed files. Yet, no configuration is required, as the default settings are comprehensive and provide a familiar, easy-to-use environment right out of the box. text/html 2023-09-12T07:33:13+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=licence&rev=1694503993&do=diff There are two different Directory Opus 13 licenses: * For home users and small businesses (maximum of ten installations per license), see the End-user License Conditions. * For corporations and academic bulk purchases, see the Volume License Conditions.
