Coding Snacks / Re: The Best Way to handle finding and removiong Duplicate Files

« Last post by tomos on January 01, 2015, 05:32 PM »

2nd.  Tomos:    I can't see a way to change th tile of an existing post?  Maybe here is one but nothing  I clicked on would get me there.
I appreciate everyone's good advice and even if it doesn't help ME, I am sure someone who reads these posts can use something of it.  Tough I agree I should have been more on topic when I named it

guess I'm being a fussy beggar, but when you click on 'unread posts' and each time you cant remember what a particular thread is about (and you are not alone in using vague titles...)

Click 'modify' on the first post in the thread, and edit title thus:

So where is it?? I tried to access the original thread you mentioned here but I got an error message.

-momashi (December 22, 2014, 02:14 PM)

There was a problem with the licensing and it's no longer on dc.
AFAIK that version you're looking for is unofficially available on Cnet.
I think it was not developed after that ...

there's a couple of threads here about that which are worth reading if you're thinking of using the free version

General Software Discussion / Re: Directory Opus 11 Released!

« Last post by tomos on December 16, 2014, 02:14 PM »

Thanks cyberdiva and myarmor for clarifications

Quote from greg in the DO forums earlier today:

Be not afraid! While we never comment on release dates nor plans for new major versions, these are traditionally every 2-3 years.
Opus 11 was only released this year so Opus 12 is a long way off yet.

-myarmor (December 16, 2014, 01:54 PM)

I see he also says:

As some may remember, earlier this year, to avoid confusion, we dropped the 4th numeral in the traditional version scheme so the current versioning is now only X,y,z or more correctly V.S.B - for Version, Sub-version, Beta release. This current version system means that Opus 11 does not finish at 11.9 and may go to 11.666 yet.

General Software Discussion / Re: Directory Opus 11 Released!

« Last post by tomos on December 16, 2014, 08:34 AM »

My first impression is that it is running quite a bit slower (or is a bit more resource hungry), at least concerning the following operation.  In the past, when I'd download a file with Firefox, the downloaded file would show up immediately in the download folder when open in Dopus. With v. 11 however I thought something was wrong because I was looking all over the place in the folder for the latest downloaded file and couldn't find it. It was only after some considerable time that the file eventually showed up.

Has anyone else had that experience?

-dr_andus (December 14, 2014, 06:40 PM)

I havent found DO11 to be more resource hungry (but that's with i5+8GB ram)
I have had some slow-to-refresh scenarios, but not often enough to follow-up on it

Note that DOpus is now at version 11.8
This *seems* to suggest that they might be reducing the time between upgrades (version 11 having been released in March 2014 according to this thread).


EDIT// (in case version 12 is relelased soonish:)
I dont know what their upgrade pricing is when upgrading from an older version (e.g. for 11, version 9 or older; etc.)

General Software Discussion / Re: Dopus file names are cut

« Last post by tomos on December 11, 2014, 04:11 AM »

There is another, perhaps more common, sign of "illicit" use. Someone turns up on the forum and asks for help. The people over there ask the questioner to "link their account" to the licence number for their installation. (Without that link, your call for help is likely to go unanswered.) The questioner often vanishes, never to be heard from again.

-michaelkenward (December 09, 2014, 04:46 AM)

the 'account linking' seems like quite a good system,
but I dont understand the conclusion that people who dont want this 'linking' are pirates.
Sure, some of them will be pirates --
but have we gotten to the stage where wanting privacy automatically equates to being guilty

Thanks 4wd
was thinking I could have two Firefox profiles -- one which loads images, one not.

Loading images on demand would be the best solution -- but this is good
