Developer’s Description

By G P Software

Manage files and perform related operations with a multi-threaded user interface.

Directory Opus (32-bit) is a file manager and Explorer Replacement for Windows. Opus is designed to be as efficient as possible. The entire program makes use of multi-threading to ensure that you should never have to wait for one operation to complete before beginning another. As an Explorer Replacement it's important that Opus appears (to the system) just like Explorer does. Within the limits set by Microsoft, Opus achieves this and most software written with only Explorer in mind will still work fine with Opus installed.

Great but expensive
garon3January 11, 2013
Pros
Previously before using xyplorer,i was using this app.It's an above average product with minor feature's missing.The author doesn't listens to user requests nor there is a section on their forum to post suggestions.
Cons
Expensive and doesn't has lots of customization for keyboard shortcuts
Summary
The best I have used so far!

Pros
Wonderful Video's to help you learn Easy to use Trial period was long enough to want to make the investment in buying the product. I didn't feel rushed to make my decision on my purchase.
Cons
A little more then the rest - but you get what you pay for. I did go online and found a discounted price.
Summary
The best Windows Explorer replacement around

The best Windows Explorer replacement around

Pros
You can configure Directory Opus in many different ways, so you're sure to find one that works well for you.
Cons
Initially setting up the program and discovering all its features can take a while. I've been using it for years, and am still finding new (and useful) features.
Summary
If you're looking for a Windows Explorer replacement, then look no further!
NexusFile does the same thing
hitman7112September 17, 2010
Pros
None that NexusFile doesnt have.
Cons
This program is way to over priced.
Summary
NexusFile does the same thing but its free and better looking.
Powerful and flexible
rwillsteedSeptember 7, 2010
Pros
Comprehensive range of powerful functions
Cons
Sometimes locks up when viewing large pdf or ppt files, but faster than opening the files with the native application
Summary
Costly but (almost) worth it.
mss627August 11, 2010
Pros
One of the few file managers that combines the ease of use of Windows Explorer along with oodles of useful features like directory synchronization, file transfer protocol, multiple directories and more. This is the Cadillac of file managers.
Cons
The price is ridiculous. Especially if you consider that most of the features can be found in freeware albeit in separate programs.
Summary
Many 3rd party file management programs provide some of the features available with directory opus but there always seems to be something that makes you return to explorer. Directory Opus is like explorer on steroids. The features all work flawlessly across all platforms. I use it with XP, Vista and Windows 7 machines. I just think 78 dollars is a lot-a-tomatoes to fork over for what amounts to a fancy File manager. Cut the price in half and I'd give it 5 out of 5.
Runs circles around explorer
martinexJanuary 16, 2010
Pros
Built in FTP manager. Directory syncronization. Light on system resources.
Cons
Expensive.
Summary
I've tried quite a few explorer clones. This is hands down the best. I'm really surprised Microsoft hasn't stolen it yet.
Forget Windows poor execution
Darksider109January 8, 2010
Pros
Do what you want to do with your files without restrictions
Cons
Need to learn the best possible way to use ( help files and good forums)
Summary
Best and will outdo Microsoft in all ways
The most powerful software you will ever own
kenalcockMay 19, 2009
Pros
Powerful, fast, customizable, portable (run from USB), asthectically pleasing. Supports plug-ins, themes, and custom configurations. User support forum. Constant free support updates between major versions. Integrated viewers and hotkey manager.
Cons
Because it is so feature rich, new users sometimes get overwhelmed. Download it, get a free trial license, check out the user support forum (link in help menu).
Summary
This is the first program I install on my windows computers after installing the operating system. And I never have to use Windows Explorer again. This program has a lot under the hood. The money you spend on a license is trivial compared to the time it will save you in the long run. The best place to learn about this program is at the user support forum (link in the help menu), where some of the users have written extensive tutorials. Opus is powerful; it usually not a question of it can or cannot do something, but how top do it with Opus.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 19, 2009<p/>Import/Export the following to backup or share: - Preferences configuration. - Toolbars or individual command buttons - Visual themes Internal Utilities: - FTP client - Synchronization Tool - Duplicate File Finder - Internal search system - mp3 tag editor - Viewer (supports plug-ins) - HotKey manager (within Opus or system-wide) - Simple email client for sending files. - Image Converter - File Type Manager - Renaming system (scriptable): date, mp3/EXIF tags, RegExp, etc. - Secure File Erase Key Features: - Browse FTP, .zip, .rar as folders. - File Collections (use files from many locations as if in same folder) - File Filter system - Advanced file searching. - Dual File display - Flat view. - Customizable Folder formats by: drive type, content type, folder. - Favorite Folders - Folder/Path alias system - Store window layouts and styles - Folder Tabs and Tab Groups Integrates with: - Windows Messenger - Google Desktop search - ImageShack - Flickr
