Directory Opus 9.1.0.0 for Windows 2000/XP/Vista (The Joker)

A file manager is, at its simplest, a utility program which presents lists of files and allows the user to perform actions of some kind on those files. File managers are useful for moving files between folders, making backup copies of files, viewing pictures and playing sounds, running other utility programs on lists of files, deleting unwanted files and many other "housekeeping" tasks. Directory Opus goes beyond the simple file manager metaphor, and offers you a complete replacement for Windows Explorer and many other utility programs for handling FTP, ZIP, viewing files and images, running slideshows and more. It provides you with all this within a user-friendly and fully-configurable environment within which you can access and manage your important data with a minimum of effort. Harness the power of your computer like never before! New features in Directory Opus 9: ? Vista Support: Vista contains a protective layer of routines known as UAC which prevents unauthorized access to parts of your system. Opus fully supports the Microsoft methods for accessing this system. For example, Opus will display the UAC prompt in most situations when it is required. UAC support in Opus has improved over that offered in Windows Explorer. For example, in Explorer if you create a new folder in a protected location (like Program Files), and then rename the newly created folder, you will get four separate confirmation dialogs. In Opus, you will just get one! ? New Explorer Replacement Functionality for Vista and XP: In order to support Explorer Replacement under Vista it has been necessary to change the way this mode is implemented. Now when Explorer Replacement mode is enabled double-clicking on a folder in ANY Explorer window will have the effect of opening in Opus. Previously, double-clicks only opened in Opus from the desktop. If you already had an Explorer window open and double-clicked on a folder in there it would read into the existing Explorer. ? New XML-based Configuration: In Directory Opus 8, most configuration information was kept in the registry ? only Toolbars and some other settings were stored on disk. In Directory Opus 9, all configuration is now stored on disk in XML format. ? New Configuration Backup & Restore System: - Full Backup & Restore configuration allows you to move configurations between machines easily. - Export to USB Flash Drive: Opus 9 takes advantage of the disk-based nature of the new Opus configuration system and allows you to export your Directory Opus installation (including program, certificate and configuration) to a USB flash drive. The program will then run as a self-contained entity from this flash drive on another system, without modifying the registry or hard drive of the host. If you select a U3 drive, Opus will be exported as a U3 package and can be installed using the U3 LaunchPad software. If you select the standard USB device icon, Opus will be exported directly to the drive in non-U3 mode. ? New Sub-Collections: The File Collections system now supports sub-collections (that is, collections within collections). Creating a sub-collection is straight-forward ? simply use the CreateFolder command to create a folder inside an existing collection. You can move files and folders between collections and sub-collections as normal. Sub-collections behave exactly like collections. ? New Breadcrumbs-style Location Field: A new ?breadcrumbs?-style Path field is available in the commands list in Customize as Path Field (Breadcrumbs). It provides a hierarchical view of the current path, as you can see from the picture above. Each element in the path is a button that can be clicked to go immediately to that level of the path. Files can also be dropped on the elements. The arrows following each path element can also be clicked to display a popup menu of the contents of that folder. ? New ?Find-As-You-Type? Field: Opus has a new special "find-as-you-type" field in Listers and in the text viewer. It is similar to the one in Firefox and can be controlled by an option in Preferences. When you begin typing in a Lister a search box now appears at the bottom showing you what you are searching for. Scrolling to the item in the Lister still happens as before - the method is the same, only the interface has changed. The search field turns red if there is no match. ? New Custom List View Code + Tiles Mode: Directory Opus 9 replaces the old system with a new custom icon display. The four traditional icon modes are all still present, and for the most part should be indistinguishable from the previous version. However, the annoying issues with the old icon modes are gone and the performance of the new code is significantly improved. The scrolling of Listers has also been improved greatly ? scrolling with the mouse wheel is now accelerated, and details/power mode now have smooth scrolling which greatly enhances the effect of scrolling through Listers. The custom list view code has also made possible the addition of a Tiles Mode. This is similar to the mode introduced in Explorer in Windows XP, but with a number of options not offered in Explorer. From Preferences you can configure the Tiles display completely. The size and spacing can be altered; the frames and background color of individual tiles (turn off frames and the background color altogether to emulate the look of tiles mode in Explorer); choose whether or not thumbnails are shown in Tiles mode; configure the information displayed beneath the filename on a per-file type basis through the File Types system. ? New Advanced Rename Enhancements: The Advanced Rename dialog has had a number of improvements, the most noticeable is the addition of a Script mode. ? New Preferences Editor Improvements: Significant improvements based on user feedback include replacing the old List/Tabs interface by a new Tree view making it much easier to see which pages are available. At the bottom of the Preferences dialog there is a new Filter field. This lets you search for Preferences items matching a specified string, making it much easier to locate items than before. While many of the Preferences pages are similar to those from Opus 8, there have been a large number of changes and improvements made. Many dialogs use a new toolbar-style button system for easier control to Add/Delete/Edit items. Overall the Preferences system is more logically laid-out and easier to use for both new and old users. ? Removal of Layout section in Preferences: The old Layout sections in Preferences was the cause of some confusion and has been removed. Instead, now there is just the Default Lister concept. This concept existed in Opus 8 but it was always confused with the options in Preferences. ? New Customize Editor Improvements: The Customize dialog has been improved and includes a menu bar, the contents of which change depending on the current tab. In the Commands tab the menu contains Export and Import commands when the User command category is selected, providing a simple way of sharing User commands with others. ? New FTP Address book: The FTP section of Preferences has been split out into a separate dialog with a menu to make configuring the address book easier. The menu also contains Import & Export commands. ? New Flickr? Synchronization: Opus now includes a Flickr Synchronization tool that makes it easy to keep your local photo collection in sync with your Flickr account. Flickr Synchronization is based upon File Collections (this is one of the main uses for the new sub-collection ability). ? New ImageShack® Image Upload: Directory Opus now features a built-in ImageShack upload utility. ImageShack is an image hosting service that (with some obvious exceptions) lets you upload and host any image for free. ? New Command Parser Improvements: The command parser in Opus has been significantly improved. Perhaps the biggest change is that all the control sequences (like {file} etc) can now be used with the internal command set, without resorting to DOpusRT tricks. There are also a number of new control sequences. ? New Custom Toolbar Icon Sets: Opus now allows you to use different icon sets. A new Preferences section in Display - Toolbar Icons allows you to import and choose which sets to use in a hierarchical fashion. ? New Support for Links/Junctions: Opus now includes support for links/junctions. The Type column will display the type of link and the Description column will now show the target of junctions (and soft-links under Vista) as it does for shortcuts. The file functions know about junctions too - for example, Delete will not recurse into a junction or link to delete the contents, but instead will just delete the junction. GetSizes doesn't include the size of linked folders in its calculations, etc. ? Plus many many changes and improvements in performance and functionality. have fun and enjoy The Joker

certificate is expired, and the program won't run

TunnelRats (2008-01-08)

@jokeri1971: Please seed your torrent "PGP Desktop Professional v9.7.0" as a rather large bunch of leechers are stuck at 97,4%

jbysmith (2008-01-09)

I downloaded the demo version directly from GPSoft, version 9.1. The license file included in this torrent worked perfectly -- thanks

REPOM4N (2008-01-13)

It worked for me like a charme.
Seeding

nok32 (2008-01-18)

definitely NOT WORKING. i have tried every goddamn version of a crack for every 9.x.x release and NONE of them work anymore!
if anyone finds one that still works PLEASE reply here or upload it yourself. really getting tired of the trial version nag screen. ugh.

REPOM4N (2008-01-21)

Opus just stopped working after about 8 days. (Anough time to set it up)
"The certificate as expired"
Seeding no more.

rstran (2008-01-25)

I installed and good on one computer. On the other, I inadvertenly let it contact the internet, and now the install on that compouter is no good, even if I uninstall and reinstall. We need a regcleaner or somehting like that, it must be leaving something on the system somewhere about the invalid certificates

rstran (2008-01-26)

there seems to be a trojan in that addon/patch.

jnd (2008-01-27)

^-- Yep, that is confirmed to be a result of the EXE patching p-Hell's patch does, so it's not perfect either. It was really just made for 8.x, not 9.x. They now switch filenames to DOS format after a while if the EXE is detected as modified. (I think they check against the digital certificate applied to the file, if the file changes, the certificate breaks)

nok32 (2008-01-27)

ive been using the 30-day trial license.. but the nag screen pops up enough to be ummm nagging. i am trying out xyplorer today, but i already miss dopus. damn.

nok32 (2008-01-30)

ok ive gone to this. i like it better than the others (after dopus).

also cool: after installing xplorer2, check out the registry.txt for how to easily replace explorer as the default folder handler.

wilson1375 (2008-02-01)

OK, I wasnt able to get this working as I have XP x64. I got x64 version from site but certificate invalid. Did notice some things during install tho. Uninstall failed to delete system32\inf32 which has several key-looking files, try deleting that folder if u wanna try a diferent cert. Also, PG2 caught a Verisign connection attempt, couldnt find which program tho...any ideas?

nok32 (2008-02-05)

if you want to replace explorer enitrely with xplorer2, save this to the registry by pasting it to a txt file, changing the extension to '.reg' and double-clicking (its off their forums, and is better than the one the developer added to the install folder. THIS one will replace explorer as seamlessly as dopus does! including all virtual folders, etc.! ;D ):

oops that last bit of the first reg hack got truncated. it should read:

anyway, i wish people would stop seeding this and the other NONWORKING dopus torrents.

namsupo (2008-02-15)

I know this might be a dumb suggestion but have you thought about buying it? You seem to really like the program, it just seems silly the amount of effort you are spending trying to get it for free. If you bought it you could just stop worrying about it :)

namsupo (2008-02-15)

Heh lol, nah I wasnt trying to get into the "moral" thing. It just seemed like you were spending an awful lot of effort on this. While free is always better the program isnt THAT expensive and I know from experience they will give you a discount if you ask nicely for it.
Spending hours trying to get around cracks seems like a big waste of time to me, I have better things to do with my day :)

namsupo (2008-02-15)

That RS link doesnt work for me, says File not found ???

namsupo (2008-02-15)

Thanks :)

nok32 (2008-02-19)

lol at namsupo.
hey so you HAVE to use it on a usb drive? is there a way to trick it and run it from my laptop?

nok32 (2008-02-19)

ahh shit. it got reported! can you up it somewhere else??

Slave-Pig (2008-02-19)

I just wish when somebody would put a program on a service like this the mother fucker would work. If you can't make it work then don't fucking post it. And BTW Fuck Windows Vista, none of you need to be using it stay with XP, I have put XP on 6 of 6 of the new Vista machines that they say can only take Vista and the DM is just fine with no ?s LMAO. Catch ya L8rz, and yes the DrK RaVeN lives, I am here and well :J)

Slave-Pig (2008-02-21)

Gobble3666,
Hi, thanks for the info on the program. I just went ahead and did a DL on version 8. something and it did fine. BTW, I have not had a lot of free time yet to read up on all this app does and was curious if there is a master reset to totally reset everything without having to uninstall and install it over again?
Also, if you guys like this program there is a totally free program from Google you should love for your pics, once you get the fell for it and use the folder manager in tools you will see what I mean. The name of the app is Picasa2, totally free and a very kick ass program. Got to run guys, take care & I didn't mean to bitch but I was having one of those days. L8rz..........

Slave-Pig (2008-02-21)

Gobble3666,
Oh yeah, I just tried the last link and it seemed to work fine. It was for a 10 Meg DL, I am going to do just that LOL, make a fancy lil icon for it and a place in programs for it and a shortcut from quick lanch to it. Thanks again, take care all.

Slave-Pig (2008-02-21)

Try this link, it is the one that Gobbler3666 sent, it works fine. When you try to run the *.exe it might ask for a certain *.dll file & say it isn't in the dir. Don't worry just do a search on your < C > drive for the *.dll it wants, you will see it and then copy and paste it into the directory and have fun :)
Also, I haven't tested it yet, but if it will run from the flash drive without Windows OS then think of the power you have over Windows LMAO. Heh, you can make Windows Bow Down and suck your dick if you want it to.
That reminds me, hey Sydney0668 or Zenny14940, either one of you can suck my dick if you want to. I am not sure but I think I have fallen for the both of you. Yeah, I sure have, I love both of you and am inviting you to have sex with me. I will check back later and we can get this party started if you want to. If not that is cool to but don't say I didn't try LOL. L8rs girlz..................

I forgot to put the link in, I was looking at the pics of those girls LOL. Here is the link :

diamond-optic (2008-02-24)

lol well i was hoping it would work for me.. did for a while.. then it came up expired like everyone else lol.. tried uninstall and went back to 9.0.0.9 (like i did after other failed updates lol) but now my 9.0.0.9 license wont work either lol damn this sucks lol great little app, and i have considered buying it.. but at more then $75 US, thats fucking rediculous..

diamond-optic (2008-02-24)

great.. now after uninstalling i get popup installshield errors everytime i boot and bootup takes like 3 minutes instead of 10 seconds....
looks like i have to format and reinstall xp lol..
GG for posting stuff without testing 1st! :-P

diamond-optic (2008-02-24)

i did try putting the portable vers on a usb thumbdrive.. but i cant seem to see any difference then the one i put right on my pc.. same version numbers come up.. says its a 30 day trial.. gives nag screens...

diamond-optic (2008-02-24)

ok tried it again.. put the portable version right on my pc (internal hd) and it seems to be working fine
tho im still getting popup errors on boot now so im wondering if i should just reformat anyway..
do you think id be able to go back to using 9.0.0.9 after a reinstall of XP? or do you think that would still not work (it worked up till today.. even after updated versions didnt work and i would reinstall 9.0.0.9) or did they do something thats gonna block me from using that version again

diamond-optic (2008-02-24)

anyone having trouble with the portable version not saving all the settings? like mainly the colors (for unselected/selected files folders and such..) it keeps reseting to default right in the middle of using it

diamond-optic (2008-02-27)

hmm ya reopening it seems to put the colors back to what i set them to....
ive got a new HD coming via UPS today that im gonna dual boot xp and vista on so i'll be reinstalling anyway..
and i used 9.0.0.9 for like a year and never had any trouble with it.. plus i like how that can have full integration and windows explorer replacement when the portable one the options are grayed out on the integration option page
and with uninstalling.. i did go thru all the registry searching for dopus and gpsoft and such and removed everything but it didnt seem to make a difference for me

nok32 (2008-02-27)

ahh this comment thread.. so nice to see people working together.
thx for the u/l, i got the portable version, havent tried it yet.
for the 'explorer replacement' option, i bet the reg patch i posted for xplorer2 would also work for dopus if you change a few things.
xplorer2 is a bit buggy at times and slower than dopus to start, but i am coping. still recommend it, since dopus still seems pretty to cause issues. i guess it testifies to the skill of their coders, since they have stumped us all for this long! heh.

Slave-Pig (2008-02-27)

Hey guys, this might be stupid but just a thought. Until they come up with tight 9 the 8 is working great for me, no problems at all with it.
Second thing is this, take a copy of Norton ghost 2003 and make up a restore disk. Then take and use Nero and burn an emulated bootable floppy onto your CD and copy the floppy disk files to the bootable CD. Finally once you get your system and programs exactly the way you want to make a backup of your primary partition onto a backup partition. Then proceed to install opus 9 and if the fucker fails just call your old image file with all you perfectly installed software and there will be zero trace of 9 and best of all it only takes about 3 minutes to recover everything. Just a thought, it is what I do when I am going to test out new shit that I am not sure of. When I used to program, especially fucking around with API, formating was second nature and the above method turned hours of work into minutes and there is no chance in hell of any trace of version 9 hiding shit when it was not included in the partition backup. Make sure though you do your format and shit and setup everything but 9 before you make your ghost image using that CD and then use that same CD to restore if and when 9 fails.

nok32 (2008-02-28)

i got the usb version of dopus to replace explorer!
1) open the apply.txt and make sure the path is the same as yours. i made it C:\Program Files\dopus\dopus.exe you can either change it to the path you want to use (make sure you replace all instances), or move the dopus folder to match the one above.
2) once you get that sorted, change the file extension of apply.txt to .reg
3) double-click and add to the regsitry.
4) try clicking on 'my computer' or whatever other folder. BOOOO-YAAAHHH!!!! :)
mf.com/?hyhrjmw2dgt

nok32 (2008-02-28)

oops, looks like w/ virtual folders it opens straight to the desktop. aaand the weird colors thing is way too annoying. aargh.

nok32 (2008-02-28)

lol. as far as i can tell the the usb version of dopus already replaces explorer. mustve been exported when the original user made the usb copy. so my other post is pointless.
i am wondering if we could find someone who has a legit copy to make us a usb version.. i recall someone even posting in the comments here................little help?

jschmoe333 (2008-02-29)

Given the extensive amount of traps it's obvious the developer takes protecting his program pretty seriously. And with the short time that the rapidshare and mediafire links get shut down I bet he's keeping tabs on this very thread.
*waves* Lower the fucking cost of your program and the additional users you'll gain will offset the drop in price and we won't have to play this game of cat and mouse anymore. Because it WILL be cracked. Your choice. :)

4QualityControl (2008-02-29)

There's a fully working crack at : http://pcbutts1.com/cracks.htm

nok32 (2008-03-01)

if only ONE of us were to buy the software, that person could make a usb version and we would all be set! i will donate $2 to this fund. anyone else in?

nok32 (2008-03-03)

nevermind.. i have come to determine that directory opus is unflappable. i recommend buying a license or giving up. unless you really have the l33t skillz.

maxdeath (2008-03-04)

this is working fine if you use the hosts file thing suggested by kayali. (xp pro sp2)
1)i changed my hosts file,
2)made my dns service manual start
3)rebooted
4)pinged gpsoft to verify resolving to 127.0.0.1
5)installed this app
6) applied certificate from this torrent.
so far so good. if it messes up i will report back.
goodluck and thanks kayali.

maxdeath (2008-03-04)

update:(later same day)
it is still working. i went into pereferences and the misc then options and turned off check for updates and also permanently blocked an access attemp by the program to access dns.(i used zone alarm).

Ceedric (2008-03-09)

wow, it only took me all 30 days to figure it out... Through some strange locked-file complications I couldn't just delete files without having it restart when it wanted me to...
BUT! I got a JV16 Powertools torrent and CCleaner and ran them both twice when I was in safe mode with its registry finder / cleaner things and it found 9 different files when I searched for any instance of "opus". Each time I ran each one it would find more...
I restarted my computer out of safe mode to attempt what will be my last attempt to get this program to work.
During the install it wanted me to paste libeay32.dll into that folder, so I did and then it successfully didn't recognize any of the last 4 times I've tried to re-install it.
Using the host-file trick and deleting the folder I used to install it really helped.
I also realized that I didn't know where I put my key for the 9.0 version so I just found the one from when I attempted to use the 9.9.0.0.9 license and it's the first time it's ever not continued that countdown to how many days I had left... today would have been my last day.

Sl0wAsS (2008-04-06)

uhmm I think i did it - but it's a bitch :S
totally fresh xp install -> installed this file and license (offline ), set so it doesn't start up with windows ( it'll start by a 2xclick on dsktp anyway ) installed netlimiter and activated firewall, did the host thing....
Activated my netcard - and whaddoyaknow - 20 sec's later a dopus tried to axx the internet :S even tho update check has been disabled, Deny the fooker in ya firewall and ya all set ;)
this one's a bitch to handle - i almost bought it :P

jarno_nekdes (2008-04-28)

Hey Kayali, could you repost the images in your previous comments, because the links are broken. And could you tell what "pinged gpsoft to verify resolving to 127.0.0.1" means. I really love this software but i can't figure out how to crack it. I allready put this line in my hosts file:
# 127.0.0.1 www.gpssoftware.com.au.
And one other question.. how do you make your DNS service manual start?
Thanks, Jarno

jarno_nekdes (2008-04-28)

excuse me:
# 127.0.0.1 www.gpsoftware.com.au
But it still is working in it's trial mode..
thanks again

nok32 (2008-05-14)

haha, never thought i would be back posting on this old torrent again!
ok, so... i tried a new patched version of dopus over at the d-spot. (you know where i mean)
i added the following to my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 gpsoft.com.au
127.0.0.1 www.gpsoft.com.au
it worked for a little while, but now i am getting the 'integrity check' failure, which crashes dopus every few minutes.

jarno_nekdes (2008-05-24)

Thanks for the help Kayali, but i didn't get it to work, it probably has made some registry entries i couldn't get rid of by wich it knew the serial was no good. So i decided to uninstall it. Now i do have version 8 working (by installing a firewall and disabled it from connecting to the internet and doing your host trick) so i'll do with that one untill a new version comes out.

OggZ (2008-05-27)

Search for
This is the only keygen I've found. The license it creates is different each time and Directory Opus accepts it as valid, so I don't think the license will wind up blacklisted like the common ones we've all seen.
Of course, this (*&%% program has gone tits up on me out of nowhere before, so what do I know? But so far, so good anyway...

maxdeath (2008-05-30)

i love this torrent, everlasting.
um..
dns client is set to manual in control panel, administrative tools, services, DNS client
to ping you use the command prompt(start,run, enter CMD is one way)
then type: ping www.gpsoft.com.au
you will see the IP
ceedric mentions some ways to clean up a botched install.
peace-out

jarno_nekdes (2008-06-06)

Wow this torrent is indeed everlasting! but i got it to work now, the keygen by FFF works great, and i got www.gpsoftware.com.au in my hosts file, but now it says once in 2 to 30 minutes there has been a program file, and it has to restart. does somebody know how to fix that?
Thanks again!

jarno_nekdes (2008-06-06)

i meant a program error (in "dopus_main" if that matters)
And the way i got it to work was by just using another serial provided by the keygen.

jarno_nekdes (2008-06-09)

I fixed it. It turned out to be the .dll file. I didn't replace it properly. but now everything works fine! THAAANKSS, it is a lovely app
