re: DirOpus Grrr… ok, what am I doing wrong? I want to change/add comments to DIRECTORIES. I click on the appropriate directory names, make certain the "F" File sub-directory gadget is un-highlighted, click "Comment" and type in a new comment string. What happens? DirOpus starts changing the comments of EVERY file within the directory as well as the just the directory. I don't want this!! I want just the directory comment changed. Yes, I read the manual, experimented, tried every combination I could think of, but I cannot make this work. Thanks in advance… David David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

Hi David. To change the comment of a directory without changing the files within it you need to set the filter to ~(*) Unfortunately in the current version this will still cause it to scan through the entire directory (even though it won't do anything to the files within it). I will make sure to do something about this problem in the next version. In the mean time you can either live with it, or set up a button to call the dos FileNote command. Jon
