Miscellaneous Fixes & Workarounds

Miscellaneous Fixes & Workarounds

• Fixed custom scrollbar colors being reset after certain events (e.g. Remote Desktop connection).

• Fixed problem with New -> Rich Text Document not creating a valid empty RTF file.

• Improved handling of icons that take a long time to retrieve (e.g. due to shell extenions or network drives).

• Workaround for some issues with MTP devices, where the related Windows component freezes when asked for icons.

• WSL support now works correctly when the current folder is a \\wsl$ or \\wsl.localhost path (e.g. CLI DOSPROMPT=wsl, or | in FAYT to run a Linux command).

• Added workaround for the width of columns in the Digital Signatures tab of Properties dialogs:

  • Due to a bug in Windows which Microsoft have never fixed, the columns use a fixed size which doesn't scale with DPI. Affects File Explorer as well.

  • Opus will now resize the columns for high DPI displays, so you don't have to manually resize them every single time while screaming "WHY!?".

  • Only affects Properties dialogs opened in-process, not ones opened via other software (e.g. File Explorer), or via out-of-process context menus.

• Added workaround for Shell folder thumbnails which sometimes generated with opaque, black backgrounds:

  • This is a very old bug in Windows. Affects File Explorer as well.

  • Opus now detects when it happens and uses an algorithm to remove the black background. The result isn't perfect, but looks a lot better.

  • Only affects thumbnails in Opus. File Explorer will still randomly show black borders around folders until Microsoft fix their bug, probably shortly after the heat death of the universe.

• Fixed some issues with context menus for shortcuts in newer versions of Windows.

• Improved how the path field's auto-completion works when typing the name of FTP Address Book branches.

• Go @BranchName and Go FTPSITE=BranchName now work with FTP Address Book branches, displaying the list of sites (and sub-branches) under that branch in the file display. (Already worked with actual FTP sites from the Address Book.)

• Go @SiteName NEWTAB=findexisting now correctly finds existing tabs showing the specified FTP site.

• Improved support for Windows shell "NoDrives" and "NoViewOnDrive" registry settings.

• The Windows "Install font" context menu item is now trapped and replaced by Opus, since it seems to randomly cause heap corruption and crashes.

• Fix for some FTP servers and large file sizes in directory listings.

• Earlier saving of some settings during OS shutdown, where Windows could sometimes kill the process before they had a chance to be saved.
