DOpus v4.03 bug?
I own Directory Opus v4.03 (Germany version). It's a great product
and worth every cent of the upgrade fee, yet I am experiencing minor
problems. Sometimes DOpus kind of 'locks up' – the only things still
reacting in any way are the pushbuttons (display 'clicked' alternate
image) and the path string field (gets activated). Unfortunately,
this is the only reaction to be gotten from DOpus. No menus, no
refreshs, no shutdown, no nothing. It does happen very seldom but is
annoying nevertheless. As is the fact that sometimes after having
launched an external program (via double click on an executable or,
for example, selecting an archive and clicking the 'Extract'
pushbutton) the shell window won't go away after the program has
finished with the effect that there is no way to get this intance of
DOpus working again (only help = reboot). Yet I may start another
instance of DOpus (on startup it tells me that DOpus is already
running – do I want to run another?). I even got a Guru (ok, since
2.x it is 'Software Error') 800000B when returning to DOpus after
having (successfully) run an install script for a program (DisKey
2.1) Is this a known bug? Is there a remedy? Despite this, I'd say
DOpus 4.x is just great, really!!!
