There are two main types of commands, or instructions: internal and external. * Internal commands are the set of functions built-in to Opus - its "native language" if you like. There are around 30 commands that make up the internal command set, and each command takes one or more text/html 2026-05-04T20:25:11+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=reference:dopusrt_reference&rev=1777926311&do=diff DOpusRT is a separate program (dopusrt.exe) that performs various support functions for Directory Opus: * If Double-click on the desktop is enabled, it runs in the background on startup to detect double-clicks and launch Opus when it's not already running. * If Explorer Replacement mode is enabled, it is used as the default "handler" when opening a folder (and again, it can launch Opus when not already running). text/html 2026-04-14T11:38:26+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=reference:evaluator&rev=1776166706&do=diff The evaluator is a simple parsing engine that understands basic mathematical operations, boolean logic and provides a number of functions to perform number, string and date manipulations and to query information. 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 2026-03-19T05:46:39+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=reference:icon_sets&rev=1773899199&do=diff The Icon Set system allows you to create a custom icon set that can “drop in” and replace, or augment, the internal set of toolbar icons.

The macro language describes one or more operations, each with a position relative to either the beginning or end of each filename. Above is a simple macro that removes 6 characters from the end of each name, and inserts the word “Final” at the start of each name. text/html 2026-04-18T22:05:18+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=reference:scripting_reference&rev=1776549918&do=diff The Directory Opus scripting interface is built around ActiveX.

They also let you perform search and replace operations, which lets you perform complex batch renames via the
