Hi Richard, I believe there is a nominal fee involved (either $5 or $15, I really can't remember). As always, call the toll free number and find out! Jon

Jon, Are you getting my messages? I left you the same message twice asking questions about DirOPus. The messages are still here and show that you've received them. Would you please answer them? Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Sorry Dom, can you either post the messages again or give me their numbers? Thanks, Jon

Jon, Hi. The two questions concerning DirOpus were: 1) I mentioned that I don't get the SKIP ALL option when using the Search feature. You said the option was there. Could you walk me through the exact procedure I must use to get the SKIP ALL option, since it's not appearing for me? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. 2) I mentioned that the bottom border of the ConfigOpus window was off the bottom of my screen. I don't want to change my Overscan settings. I asked if it was possible to move the window up by the drag bar and then save it so that it appears in that position every time. I've moved it up manually and saved the .CFG file, but that doesn't work. A suggestion for the next release is to put the new SAVE gadget in the ConfigOpus window over to the right side, and then move the bottom border up to where it was in prior versions. Thanks for your help. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Hi Dom. Firstly, to get the Skip All button to appear is pretty straight forward. Select a bunch of files to search, enter what you want to search for, and when the first match is made a requester will appear, giving you the option, among others, to Skip All. Secondly, no you are right, the position of the ConfigOpus window is now saved if it is on its own screen (if it is on the Workbench screen it is saved). I will look at fixing this for the next version. As far as moving the Save button goes, that would be fine, but there are lots of other configuration screens that require the full size of the window (Buttons, Menus, Filetypes to name 3). Jon

Jon, > Firstly, to get the Skip All button to appear is pretty straight forward. Select a bunch of files to search, enter what you want to search for, and when the first match is made a requester will appear, giving you the option, among others, to Skip All. That's exactly what I did. However, the requester only gives me three options: Okay, Skip, and Abort. I do NOT get a Skip All option. I have v4.11. How could it be that Skip All doesn't appear for me? Also, what do I have to do now, to get Skip All to appear for me? I mean, you say it's supposed to be there and it's not. > Secondly, no you are right, the position of the ConfigOpus window is now saved if it is on its own screen (if it is on the Workbench screen it is saved). I will look at fixing this for the next version. I'm not sure what you're saying. It appears you're saying that the ConfigOpus window will be saved whether it's on its own screen or on the WB screen, but then why make a distinction? Maybe you meant to say "not saved," instead of "now saved." Anyway, I tried saving it with ConfigOpus on its own screen, on a Clone WB screen, and on a Use WB screen, and in ALL instances, the window position was NOT saved. Also, in the "Enter Search String Requester," for one of the options you have, "RecogniSe ? as a Wildcard." However, in America, the word is spelled "RecogniZe" with a "Z," instead of an "S." So you might want to change it for the American version of the program. Thanks for the answers. Please let me know what to do about the Skip All option. Thanks. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Hi Dom. I really don't know why the Skip All button isn't appearing for you. I put it in in January, and we were still on 4.10 then. Beats me 🙂 Is it a real loss anyway? 🙂 Yes I did mean to say "not saved". The position of the ConfigOpus window will only be saved if it has opened on the Workbench screen. Hmm well I'm not going to get into an argument over American vs English spellings; I saw how long the argument over date format dragged out 🙂 Jon

Jon, SKIP ALL isn't a real loss, BUT if the feature is in the program, then there's something amiss since it's not in my version. I'll call INOVAtronics tech support. Also, the position of the ConfigOpus window is NOT saved for me, even when I open it on a WorkBench screen. I wasn't trying to get into an argument over American vs. English spellings. 😎 I pointed it out simply because I thought it was a mistake that you'd want to fix in the next version. The entire rest of the program does use American spelling, so I thought the one word I mentioned was an oversight. For instance, in the Screen Menu for ConfigOpus, you have an entry for "Colors" and not "Colours." If you chose to use English spelling for the entire program, that's one thing. But instead you used American spelling, except for that one word, so I thought I'd point it out. It's a great program by the way. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–
