What's new in this version:

Directory Opus 12.19
Changes:
- Added a command to delete the current folder's format without showing any UI. Also made it possible to change the view mode and save a new format for the current folder in a single command
 - Added cloud_sync_paths option to Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced. Lets you specify folders that will be treated as cloud sync so that Opus supports status icons etc in them.
 - The breadcrumbs field's dropdown menus now indicate the current path in bold
 - The PowerShell Here command now works correctly when the path contains square brackets and other wildcard characters
 - Shortcuts to folders are no longer forced to use the shell's folder thumbnail style if you have configured Opus to use its own
 - Added workaround for Windows bug which meant Listers did not resize properly if you used Shift+Win+Left/Right to move a maximized Lister from a monitor with no taskbar (or docked toolbars/appbars) to a monitor with the taskbar.
 - Fixed Metadata Pane column headings not being wide enough if some or all of the categories were collapsed when the pane opened
 - Fix for rare crash when opening a Lister or the folder tree
 - The Select Files simple dialog now allows the wildcard syntax for matching a file type group. e.g. grp:Images.
 - Fixed @hideifpathr:^C:\ not working correctly
 - The Creation Date columns are now available for MTP devices (whether they work or not is up to the device, but you can now turn them on)
 - Viewer toolbar now includes a Full Screen button at the top level. (To update your existing toolbar, right-click an empty space on it and choose "Factory Reset this Toolbar")
 - The Mixed DPI Mitigations setting, added in 12.18 but off by default, now has an "automatic" mode, which is the new default. In this mode, the mitigations are turned on when a mixed DPI system is detected, and turned off otherwise. The setting is also now hidden on older versions of Windows which don't support mixed DPI
 - The advanced slow_dblclk_rename option now affects Power Mode
 - Reset focus entry when sorting file list now applies to Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons etc. as well as Details and Power modes
 - @ifset:METAPANE=off now works
 - Added support for Ctrl-C on collection items and then Ctrl-V into the Path Field or Create Folder dialog. (This already worked for normal files/folders)
 - You can now select all files in Flat View and move them to the source folder to flatten everything without having to worry about de-selecting the files which are already directly below the source folder
 - Fixed a problem with Find where if you ran several finds in quick succession, it could seem like no results were returned
 - Fixed problem with Libraries in tree, where if a library sub-folder was selected when the tree opened, it would be inserted immediately under the library in the tree rather than in its correct member folder (assuming separate member folders is enabled)
 - Fixed problem which caused function dialogs owned by the Lister (rather than a progress dialog) to be destroyed when the Lister was closed
 - Fixed crash introduced in 12.18 which could occur if new files were added to the folder while it was grouped and the last group was collapsed
 - Fix for crash triggered by certain JPEG EXIF data
 - Added some extra safety around the Lister being closed while a context menu is open. (Should be impossible, but could happen due to 3rd party menu extensions, perhaps)
 - The folder tree's Favorites branch now shows the special icons for file collections and sub-branches of favorites, instead of generic folder icons. The Favorites list in Preferences now shows any special icons for folders which were added via path aliases or env-vars
 - The Add to Archive dialog now supports aliases in the path field. Also improved handling of tab key when the path completion drop-down is visible
 - Possible fix for viewer/thumbnail code getting stuck on particular MP4/MOV files
 - The Brands ICT .msg preview handler now works in the viewer pane
 - Fixed Go FDBBUTTONS choosing the wrong icons in some cases
 - Commands which generate sub-menus on toolbars now always put the labels of items inside the sub-menu on the right. (Items at the top level still inherit the label position of the button that generates them.) This affects Favorites, FTP Bookmarks, Tab Groups, Layouts, Styles, and Rename Presets. (Other things which generate sub-menus were already like this)
 - Rename's Regular Expression + Find And Replace mode no longer requires brackets around expressions using the | OR operator
 - Rename's Regular Expression + Find And Replace mode no longer has problems with more than seven capture groups


Directory Opus 12.18
Changes:
- When in Preferences / Folders / Folder Formats, the existing format's page override checkboxes are now preserved when adding it as a new Favorite Format or pasting it as a new Path Format
- The new "mixed DPI mitigations" setting is now off by default, after a couple of people reported problems with it in the betas. It can still be turned on via Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced for those who want/need it


Directory Opus 12.17.0
- Change log not available for this version


Directory Opus 12.16.0
Changes related to Lister Styles which specify Folder Tab Groups:
- The Close existing folder tabs checkboxes within Styles are now used exclusively when applying a style. The similar checkbox within Folder Tab Groups still works when loading a tab group on its own, but not when loading one via a Style. This is the main change which may affect existing configs
- Styles which explicitly specify File Display: Single, but also specify a Tab Group which has tabs on both sides will no longer switch to a dual-display Lister; right-hand tabs will be ignored
- When a Tab Group is specified, the options under it (View Mode, Format, etc.) which are disabled in the UI are now also ignored when applying the Style. Previously, they would still be applied
- If a Style specified a dual-side Tab Group in the UI for the left side (which loads folders into both left and right), and nothing at all in the UI for the right side, applying the Style would first load the default folder into the right side, before loading the Tab Group over or in addition to it
- If Explorer Replacement is configured to open into a new, dual-display Lister, the left hand display which the double-clicked path is loaded into will now always be given focus, regardless of how the default Lister was set up
- Go TABCLOSE now works with the TABPOS argument. While you could specify a tab index using the PATH argument before, this change allows things like closing the next tab (Go TABCLOSE TABPOS=+1) or previous tab (Go TABCLOSE TABPOS=-1) relative to the current tab
- Addressed a situation where the Jobs Bar Arrow appearing could place a background Lister on top of the active Lister if a new progress dialog appeared in a Lister which didn't currently have focus
- Fixed problems with MTP devices opening in Explorer in some cases
- Fix for double-clicking some virtual folders under Quick Access taking you to their normal locations instead of staying under Quick Access. e.g. Recycle Bin, Dropbox and Creative Cloud Files
- Deleting junctions on network drives no longer deletes their contents
- The Synchronize summary dialog now scales its column sizes for high DPI
- When in a folder under Quick Access, the path field and parent buttons now behave as if you are in the real folder

Changes:
- {dlgopen} and similar now allow you to use forward slashes when specifying the initial path. (Automatically converted to backslashes before calling the Windows API)
- In Customize mode, dragging special folders like Recycle Bin to a toolbar now creates better buttons for them. (Go PATH=/trash instead of a cryptic IDL string)
- File paths copied to the clipboard when on MTP devices are now stripped of the "?s1234?|"-style information at the end of path components which Opus uses internally
- Fix for [Changing folders while Description is being calculatedchanging-folders-while-description-is-being-calculated/32742)
- Fix for double-clicking ".." parent item not working when the parent is the Quick Access folder
- Improved consistency in how the Quick Access folder behaves between navigations made via the folder tree, file display and Go FOLDERCONTENT menus. In all cases, going to a folder below Quick Access now positions you under Quick Access in the tree and breadcrumb path field, such that parenting up will take you to the Quick Access folder. (If you instead go down from there, you'll jump to the folder's real location)
- Fixed problem with drag & drop to folder tree introduced in previous beta
- Opus no longer tries to send offline files from OneDrive to the recycle bin when deleting; if any offline files are selected the recycle bin will be automatically bypassed. This prevents the files having to be downloaded before being deleted with OneDrive in Windows 10 1903
- The Go, Recent and Favorite commands have new NEWTAB=findinactive modes, similar to NEWTAB=findexisting except that they will open a new tab if the current tab already has the specified path. Intended for buttons which reduce clutter by switching to existing tabs while retaining the ability to open a second tab for the same folder when needed
- Fixed HTML codes appearing in progress window when connecting to FTP sites in some situations (e.g. batch rename)
- You can now scroll the Rename dialog's preview list with the mouse wheel while editing the New Name field in macro mode
- The "Slide-out parent buttons" option was broken in beta 12.14.1, now restored
- Clicking the full-screen button in the viewer pane when it was displaying a non-image file (e.g. a PDF) would open the standalone viewer but not show the PDF - instead, the first image file in the folder would be shown
- For FTP servers that don't support MLST, file dates that are returned without a year are now assumed to be the previous year if they are the current month but a day in the future. E.g. if the current date is Jun-17-2019, and the ftp site returns "Jun 30" as the date, that will now be taken as "Jun-30-2018" and not "Jun-30-2019"
- Made improvements to MTP code which will hopefully prevent freezing/lockups with some devices (iPhones etc).


Directory Opus 12.15.0
- Date formatting codes now support DD to insert the ISO day number (Monday = 1, Sunday = 7). D is also supported but was never documented - it also inserts the day number, but with Sunday = 1 and Saturday = 7
- Fixed a problem that could cause a Windows search initiated through the FAYT to be run twice if it returned very quickly
- Fixed problem in betas which stopped Full Path advanced filter clauses working properly
- Added a registry patch flag to allow the enabling of various elements of OneDrive support that are disabled by default in Windows 10 1903


Directory Opus 12.14.0
- Fix for crashes on startup on some machines
- Fix for delays with non-auto-load tabs and unreachable network shares
- Fix for Update Checker not working(This was also in later 12.13 downloads, after the first day of release)
- Improved drive icon updates in the folder tree and toolbar drivebuttons when Bitlocker is locked/unlocked(May also help with things like icons for offline network drives)


Directory Opus 12.13.0

- The update checker can now check for new beta versions as well as stable releases. This can be enabled with the new option in Preferences / Internet / Updates (and will also be turned on automatically if you're currently using a beta version). Also added an option for the update checker to check daily as well as weekly and monthly. The frequency that Opus "nags" you to reboot after installing an update has also been reduced
- The Rename dialog macro builder now supports selecting from a given point to the end of the filename, no matter how long the name is. To access this, position the cursor at the start position, then press Shift+End twice (or Shift+Home twice when right-justified)
- You can now turn off auto-play, and turn on volume mute, for some ActiveX viewers via the ActiveX + Preview + Office + Web plugin. This only works if the ActiveX control understands the appropriate properties. It's known to work with the Windows Media Player ActiveX control (note: not the Preview Handler, which already disables auto-play by default)
- Added support for .opus audio files to the metadata pane
- Added a command (Help RELEASENOTES) to display the current release notes. Added this to the default Help menu
- Added Clipboard FILE argument which allows filenames to be placed in the clipboard to be specified on the command line (e.g. Clipboard COPY FILE C:moo.zip)
- Set LISTERTITLE now accepts %S to insert the name of the currently selected Lister style (if any)
- The Set COLUMNS command now accepts the same special codes as Set FORMAT (e.g. Set COLUMNS=!folder) to load the columns from a special format without affecting anything else about the current folder format
- You can now use @if:Prefs STYLE=xyz to make buttons conditional on the last style which was loaded, e.g. to cycle styles with a single button. Individual buttons which load styles now also highlight when their style is active (i.e. the last style which was loaded)
- Added Command.GetModifiers script method to retrieve a map of modifiers that have been set on the command. Modifiers set in a button that then calls a script command are now passed through to the script (and can be queried using the new method)
- Scripts can now control taskbar grouping of Listers, viewers and custom dialogs using the new SetTaskbarGroup method of the Lister, Viewer and Dialog objects
- Scripting: The FSUtil.Hash object can now generate three flavors of CRC32 checksums in addition to the existing MD5 and SHA variants
- Scripting: Listers now have a style property, which names the last style (if any) applied to them
- Added VFS_TestSameDrive and VFS_TestSamePath vfs plugin functions
- The Owner column is now calculated on a background thread, which should make it more efficient for large network folders
- When the SetAttr command is run on softlinks and junctions to modify the timestamps it now changes the date of the link rather than the date of the target
- When restoring a configuration backup, choosing "replace existing configuration completely" will now delete any icons, images and sound files in the old config folder. Previously, those folders would be merged with the new config even when replacing it
- Below Preferences / Launching Opus, drop-downs for choosing layouts now support the full layouts tree including sub-folders
- Added a simple caching system to the metadata thread so that multiple queries for the same file in a short space of time will come out of the cache rather than re-reading the file every time. Should improve performance when the file display is showing metadata columns and label filters are also querying metadata
- Drive icons now update correctly in the tree when a drive's bitlocker status changes
- It was previously possible (if you tried hard enough) to enable the Always enable this toolbar's keys in Listers option for the viewer toolbar, which could break many normal keys outside of the viewer
- The Customize dialog no longer allows the currently selected Viewer toolbar to be turned on in Listers. Additionally, the Viewer page in Preferences no longer allows a currently selected Lister toolbar to be selected as the Viewer toolbar
- The archives plugin now prefixes an underscore before any file or folder names within an archive which would clash with reserved device names under Windows (CON, AUX, etc.)
- Toolbar buttons that are disabled/hidden by a @disable-type clause can no longer be launched via their hotkey
- If clicking the selected folder tab is configured to go to the previous tab, this no longer happens when clicking a tab to activate the window it is in or make it the source. (Unless you then click it a second time, of course)
- Thumbnails for comic book archives (cbz, cb7, cbr) now support WebP and HEIC files within the archives
- Increased the length of the metadata fields supported by plugins for music and video files (e.g. FLAC files)
- In Preferences and other dialogs, checkboxes and other controls are now checked and expanded slightly if their labels are too long for the control size. This fixes problems in e.g. Polish at 125% DPI scaling where a large number of controls had the ends of their labels cut off
- The 64-bit version of the MultiView plugin now works, provided you have 64-bit versions of the viewer DLLs it uses. This enables an alternative set of viewers for things like Office documents and many other formats
- Increased compatibility with metadata shooting time fields presented in a non-EXIF compliant format
- Updated UnRAR.dll to 5.70.100. (n.b. Opus was not affected by the WinRAR ACE issue fixed in 5.70; we're just updating to the current version)
Updated 7z.dll to 19.0.0.0, which improves encryption strength for 7z archives
- Fixed Windows Search not always working in 12.12
- The path length counts at the bottom of the Create Folder dialog are now correct if it is opened by a button in multi-line mode with predefined folder names
- The Create Folder dialog now remembers its size in multi-line mode
- Fix for SFTP RSA keys using paths containing multibyte UTF8 characters
- Fixed a problem which prevented editing of EXIF metadata on files which had a timestamp (created/modified/accessed) earlier than 1/1/1970
- Improved the way Preferences / Toolbars / Scripts finds the default text editor
- Corrected new multi-file inline rename mode when using brackets and other wildcard characters in the new name
- Fixed rendering of Customize > Commands list when an icon set with large icons in the "small" size was installed
- The FTP log now uses the system text color instead of being hard-coded to black. (Only affects new log messages, since colors are saved into the log)
- Fixed auto-quoting getting confused by {filepath$|nopath} and similar (for example, {destpath$}{filepath$|nopath} wouldn't auto-quote properly)
- Fixed incorrect interaction between @disablenosel and @disableifpath command modifiers
- DOS-mode functions that are intended to be synchronous (i.e. not return until the DOS process has ended) now are
- Fixed the option to add layouts to the Desktop context menu making a mess of the menu if the sub-menu option was turned off and your layouts were arranged into multiple groups/folders. (You may need to reboot for this fix to take effect)
- The Metadata.other.autodesc property didn't work reliably
- The Rename INLINE=single argument was being ignored if the Rename all selected files at once option was turned on under Preferences / File Operations / Inline Rename
- The def_value property is now supported by all scripting objects which use default values
- The Path.filepart property now returns an empty string when called for a root path
- Fixed a bug which meant if the Lister was showing This PC, a command that specified a path on the command line (e.g. Delete C:Moo.txt) might not work
- Fixed (internal, undocumented) DOpusRT.exe /Prefs command crashing Opus if no Preferences page was specified
- Fixed rare freeze which could occur when opening windows containing a combo control
- Fixed inline rename (F2) not working on items in subfolders when in the Desktop folder using Flat View
- Fixed crash which could occur when refreshing (F5) on a UNC path with certain folder tree configurations
- Fixed crash if filters referred to themselves or each other in an infinite loop
- Fixed password prompt appearing if you put e.g. a deleted, encrypted 7z archive into the clipboard from the Recycle Bin
- Fixed a crash when undocking a dual display Lister (assuming docking was enabled in Preferences)
- Fixed a couple of problems that occurred when checkbox mode and details+thumbnails mode were turned on at the same time
- Fixed a problem introduced in Opus 12.11 which could cause the taskbar to flash over borderless full-screen applications and games when doing certain things in Opus on multi-monitor setups
- Fixed cosmetic issue in the Rename dialog if the Rename Macro Builder font was taller than the rest of the line
- Fixed cosmetic issue with buttons to the right of labels on toolbars if you had button spacing set to zero and the Office 2003 style on or themes off
- If "always display the jobs bar" was on and you manually closed the jobs bar, the bar for that Lister would then go into auto-close mode if a file operation caused it to re-appear. It now goes back into "always display" mode
- The Jobs Bar no longer has a close button when "always display the jobs bar" is on. (You can still close it via buttons if you need to, e.g. Set JOBSBAR=off)
- The update icon is now only displayed once in each window when using dual file displays with independent status bars
- Fix for "Crashes unmounting Bitlocker drive" https://resource.dopus.com/t/crashes-unmounting-bitlocker-drive/31868
- Fixed some compatibility problems with the most recent version of OneDrive that meant the online/offline status of files could be displayed incorrectly
- Fixed a bug that in some cases could cause OneDrive offline files to be downloaded when showing their thumbnails
- Now includes updated Portuguese Brazilian translation. (Thanks to Dyecks Rocha and Alexandre Corrêa)
