File Operations

This category contains options that control file operations (copying, deleting, etc.) within Directory Opus. In most cases these only define the default behavior of the file operations - most options can be overridden at the command level with the addition of command-line parameters to the appropriate command.

• Copying Files: General options relating to copy files.

  • attributes: Controls which file attributes are copied by default (attributes, metadata, security permissions, etc.)

  • confirmation: Confirmation of various things when copying (what to do when files already exist, that sort of thing).

  • metadata: Controls if and how NTFS file metadata is copied.

  • security: Ownership and permissions of copied files.

• Deleting Files: Options that control what happens by default when you delete files through Directory Opus.

• Double-click Files: A few options that control what happens when you double-click on certain files in a Lister. The File Types system controls this to a far higher degree.

  • ftp: Specific double-click options for files on FTP sites.

• Logging: Controls whether Opus should keep a log of your file operations or not.

• Metadata: Options relating to the editing of metadata.

  • editor: Options for the metadata editor.

  • Music Genres: Music genres shown in the metadata editor for audio files.

• Options: General options that didn't fit on any other page!

• Progress Indicators: Options that control the progress indicators that Opus can show during file operations.

  • Counting Files: Controls the counting of files within folders (needed for accurate progress indicators).

  • Jobs Bar: Options relating to the Jobs Bar.

• Renaming Files: Options that affect renaming files inline.

  • Control Keys: Configurable control keys you can push when renaming files inline (Ctrl+A for Select all, etc).
