latest edition of Directory Opus, aka DOpus, at their website
http://www.dopus.com/. In skipping revision numbers from v6 to v8, DOpus
has gained a vast amount of flexibility for viewing and managing
different document types. Some of the highlights include:
* Powerful File Manager & Explorer Replacement
* User-definable File Display Views
* User-definable Toolbars, Menus, File Types
* Advanced built-in Image and File Viewers
* Built-in ZIP and Advanced FTP
* Visually Synchronize Files & Find Duplicates
* Advanced Search and Rename Functions
* More Configurable than any other program
* Easy Slideshows...and much more..
It also has new image manipulation support for resizing and converting
images, can send files via email, can automatically change the settings
of the current window depending on the type of files contained including
showing media meta data (think camera settings on images, etc), etc.
Possibly the best thing about DOpus is that almost everything is
configurable - all menus, toolbars, etc, etc. I suggest taking a look at
the website (http://www.dopus.com/) to get an idea of what is possible,
then download the 60-day evaluation copy for a trial-run.
One thing I just realized is that one of the new features, the so called
"flat view", opens up a directory structure in a similar way to
Dreamweaver (or OSX) in that the directory structure is shown. What's
cool about that is that you can open up a second window and connect to
your FTP site... with the local directory listing everything you can
select files from anywhere in the directory structure, hit the copy
button and you will be asked if you would like to copy the files to the
root of the destination directory or to re-create the directory
structure! It is this last aspect that recreates Dreamweaver's nice 'n
easy site management functionality. Want to make it even more powerful,
open in dual-lister mode and you can recreate DW's dual-pane site
manager. Nifty!
Have fun :)
Note: I'm just a happy customer, I don't work for them.
