Directory Opus Toolbar (Beta)

[Nologic]

Okay i've made a bit of time to create a toolbar for DO, that should aid in speeding up your emulation affairs.

Basic features:

Mount\Unmount Alochol & Daemon Tools

Launch Command\Bash\PowerShell\4NT consoles one at a time or all at once.

Send ASCII based files to Notepad\SciTe\PSPad\UltraEdit\WinMerge

Launch ClrMamePro\RomCenter\Au3Info\AutoIt Help\AutoHotKey Help\HyperSnap\HyperCam\Xpadder

Send Folders to TorrentZip

Launch different aspects of GameEx: GameEx\Config\Wizard\Manager\Log\Theme

Not a lot of features as of yet...but hopefully it'll be helpful for the time being.

Simply extract "DO Icons" to your Program Files folder & customize DO's toolbars by importing the "Emulation.dop" file contained with in the "DO Icons" folder. The "Emulation.dop" file is ASCII..XML based really so its easy for anyone to edit to their own needs...tho if you add anything interesting or helpful be sure to share the wealth.

I've attached a preconfigured build of "Console" its a freeware open source container for different console shells.

The Bash build this was built with in mind was the one supplied by Cygwin...don't really expect many to use it...but hey it up's you geek factor.

PowerShell is of course available from MS as its their new replacement for Command.

4NT...well that one will cost you...its more powerful than Command...but now that PowerShell is out...hard to say how they stack up against one another...still most of these are well beyond the common man.

*Note*

Directory Opus isn't free...matter fact its probably the most expensive File Manager out there....once this is done I may look into porting this to other FM's where possible.

Pretty Sweet!

Thats some good work man! This should probably end up in one of your stickys so it doesnt get lost.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Yeah once its done I'll stick it up above...tho doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in it...but was kind of expected...its a pricy File Manager...even tho it does simplify things a lot for the end user once they get use to it.

Two features I always wanted in standard Windows Explorer that even the basic Amiga file managers had all those years ago is a pattern matching and two directory views at once. So say you type "*.exe" into the pattern matching box it only displays all the exe's. Another thing seriously lacking is the "split directory view" where you can view two directories in the one explorer. Dragging from one instance to the other can be cumbersome.

I was looking at adding the pattern matching to explorer myself as a toolbar sort of thing. But I found it to be extremely difficult to do that so I gave up.

Never owned an Amiga. I did have a commodore Vic-20 and 64 though

My friend did ...all I remember is some workbench floppys...

Well I was an Apple boy back in the day...the Amiga was the only PC that was really of interest to me as a PC...IBM's where only interesting for games...every thing else...blah.
