#Your Opus order
8 messages in this thread
Robert, they tell me in Dallas that your Opus upgrade has already shipped
out. Have you gotten it yet? Sorry for the long delay, but they have
trouble finding individual order status right now because they are
completely swamped by the incredibly high demand for Opus 4.0. Anyway, it
is on its way.

Yes, I got it. Thanks. I'm still a little puzzled, I was sure I was in the
auto upgrade club which would have saved me a few more bucks. I was able
to integrate my old 3.41 configs with this new version. I would like to
have a sort by name, date and size buttons but can't figure it out. I
thought the command "SortMethod win item" would do it, but it takes no
action when clicked on. The ad in AmigaWorld shows these buttons with the
full string on each button but when I type them on my buttons I only get
the "sort by n , sort by s, sort by d" to fit.

Robert you can adjust the font used on the buttons and in that way get more
or less text into each button.
Exactly which parameters are you passing to SortMethod?

Martin,
I entered in the command string of the buttons editor the following:
for the button named "sort by name", I typed "SortMethod -1 0"
for the button named "sort by size", I typed "SortMethod -1 1"
for the button named "sort by date", I typed "SortMethod -1 3"
The manual states:
SortMethod corresponds to Operation/List format's checked sort item.
SortMethod win item
win is the window to act upon (-1=current window, 0=left or
1=right)
Items…
0=Name
1=Size
2=Protection
3=Datestamp
4=Comment
5=Filetype
Am I interpreting this wrong? I have practically no knowledge of what to
type or check off in order to make a button work correctly. It sure would
be nice to have a list of possible button configurations that only had to
be copied into the editor for us dummies.

I have to ask JonP about this SortMethod problem and see what he says.
I'll be back in touch.

Martin,
Have all the upgrade notices gone out for DOpus 4.0? A friend received
his last week, but still nothing here.

Hi Robert. I'm not sure if you are doing this but from your message it
appears not. The command you need is Modify. SortMethod is just a parameter
for the Modify command, it is not a command itself. Therefore, you need to
add as the function :
Modify SortMethod ……..
Jon
Nope, that doesn't work either
