Directory Opus Rulez

if you're still using the windows explorer for file management or if you're still stuck with one of the old school file management solutions (total/speed commander and the like) you simply have to check out directory opus: bringing the file management solution from the old amiga days to the pc and taking things a step further every day.

dopus is not limited to a single window with two lister panes. dopus replaces the windows explorer with new improved explorer windows.

i think dopus compares to all other file management solutions like intelli/j idea compares to eclipse. it's not a generic file management framework where you can plugin tools and stuff in generic ways. but it is an integrated solution that has defined ways of extending it by plugging in tools and scripts.

there are pros and cons about this. above everything else i'm missing a nice lister/vfs api. one of the strengths the other file managers have: you can write a WebDAV vfs plugin if you want. but then again, i'm not missing it that much.. because dopus is just sooo useful with its built in feature set.

i'll blog about some of these features from time to time, to share my excitement with you.. :)
