# Default Toolbars & Menus

**Default Toolbars & Menus**

* General:
  * The Customize dialog's Default Toolbars tab (discussed above) provides a way to highlight new commands. (See [Customize](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/customize.md).)
  * If you have custom toolbars and don't want to reset them, you can drag individual items out of the Default Toolbars tab.
* Middle-click to open in a new tab:
  * Most buttons which go to folders now support middle-click to open in a new tab.
  * If a tab for the folder already exists, it will be activated instead of opening a new tab, unless it is already the active tab, in which case a second tab for it will open.
  * Similarly, right-click opens a context menu for the target folder.
  * This functionality automatically applies to any simple button which runs (or generates) a command to go to a specific path.
  * Includes the Up (Parent), Back and Forward buttons.
  * Includes Favorites, Recent, Drive Buttons, and menus generated via "Go FOLDERCONTENTS".
  * Does not include commands that use conflicting arguments like MULTIFUNC, NEW, NEWTAB, etc.
  * Does not include "three-Buttons", which have explicit middle-click or right-click actions.
* "Menu" toolbar:
  * Edit > Copy Other > Checksums -- Now a submenu, and includes the BLAKE3 algorithm.
  * Edit > Calculate BLAKE3 Checksums -- Calculates and shows BLAKE3 hashes in the file display.
  * Edit > Select Other > Select Empty Folders.
  * Edit > Select Other > Select Zero-Byte Folders.
  * Edit > Select Other > Select Expanded Folder Items -- After expanding one or more folders, use this to select everything below them. (See Expandable Folders under [File Display](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/file_display.md).)
  * Edit > Select Other > Select Duplicates -- The same as the [Duplicate Files](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/duplicates.md) "Select" button. Useful if the panel is hidden.
  * Tools > Find Presets -- A list of your Find presets, plus commands to find empty folders in or below the current directory.
  * Tools > Convert Images > Save As -- Now includes any defined image conversion presets.
  * Settings > Toolbars > Choose Location Bar Toolbars -- Shortcut to the corresponding Preferences page.
  * Settings > Scripts -- Opens dialog for managing scripts. The new [Script IDE](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/script_ide.md) can be opened from there.
  * Settings > Install Script -- Easier way to install scripts (e.g. from the forum).
  * Settings > Set Lister Defaults -- New name for "Set Default Lister", with extended functionality. (Old command still works.)
  * Settings > Dark Mode -- Toggles between dark and light modes.
  * View > Details + Thumbnails (and similar top-level icon):
    * Now disabled in Shell folders where it won't work.
    * Default button code updated to scale thumbnail size with DPI.
  * Folder > Folder Format -- Used to be named "Folder Options".
  * Folder > Expandable Folders -- Toggles the ability to use Expandable Folders. Turning them off saves a little space.
  * Folder > Expand/Collapse All Folders -- Expands all folders immediately below the current directory. Collapses them if they're all already expanded.
  * Folder > Friendly Dates -- Allows you to turn friendly dates ("Today", "Monday", etc.) on and off without opening Preferences.
  * Folder > Full-Row Selection -- Now toggles between full-row and full-width-of-name-column selection modes.
  * Lister > Favorites Bar -- Toggles the new Favorites Bar. Ctrl+Shift+B hotkey.
  * Viewer Pane -- Button now has a right-click action which opens a Lister-Linked viewer. (See [Viewer](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/viewer.md).)
* "Operations" toolbar:
  * Copy Files > Duplicate to Dated Names -- Similar to "Duplicate", but automatically appends the current date and time to the new copies, without prompting.
  * Copy Files > Copy Settings -- Shortcut to the corresponding Preferences page.
  * New Folder > Move to New Folder -- Prompts for a name and moves all selected items into a new sub-folder.
  * New Folder > Move to Dated Folder -- Moves all selected items into a new sub-folder with YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS name for natural sorting. (Not technically new, but in a new place.)
  * Delete > Empty Recycle Bin -- Empties the Recycle Bin.
  * Delete > Secure Empty Recycle Bin -- Does a multi-pass "secure" erase of the Recycle Bin.
  * Delete > Enable Recycle Bin -- Toggles whether the Recycle Bin is used within Opus.
  * Delete > Enable Recycle Confirmation -- Toggles confirmation prompts when deleting to the Recycle Bin.
  * Delete > Delete Settings -- Shortcut to the corresponding Preferences page.

  * Help > Submit Crash Logs -- Lets you send crash logs for problem reports.
* "Favorites Bar" toolbar:
  * Entirely new toolbar listing favorites, similar to the Bookmarks Bar in most web browsers.
  * Folders can be dragged to the toolbar, without having to enter Customize mode first.
  * Sub-menus for other favorites and Quick Access locations, including drive letters and special folders like Recycle Bin.
* "File Display" toolbar:
  * When the Favorites Bar is on, the File Display toolbar's Favorites icon/menu is hidden. It will reappear automatically if the Favorites Bar is then turned off.
  * Home button (see [Location Bar](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/location_bar.md) for details).
* "Images" toolbar:
  * Convert -- Button-menu now includes any defined image conversion presets.
* "Viewer" toolbar:
  * File > Link to Lister Selection -- Toggles the viewer's Lister-Linked state. (See [Viewer](/directory-opus/manual/release_history/opus13_detailed/viewer.md).)
  * File > Locate Image -- Menu of online GPS mapping services.
  * View > Background Color -- Menu for changing the viewer's background. Useful for images with transparency.
  * View > Picture Frame -- Toggle the viewer's picture frame, without going to Preferences.
  * View > Previous Monitor -- Move the viewer to the previous display.
  * View > Next Monitor -- Move the viewer to the next display.
  * The top-level Next and Previous buttons have updated commands which mark the current picture first if pushed with Ctrl.
  * There are also new top-level buttons to toggle Lister-Linked, and (if fullscreen) move to other monitors.
* Context menus:
  * Context menus that contain "Open Containing Folder" now include a second "...in New Tab" option. (Removed unnecessary "open container in tabs" setting.)
  * The "Column Header" context menu has several changes to support new grouping and column-freezing functionality. We recommend resetting your copy to the defaults if they are missing.
  * "Folder Tabs" context menu is new. This used to be a hardcoded menu and can now be edited.
