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!!! // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.051……….
