Directory Opus

Directory Opus is a file manager for Windows that provides an alternative to Windows Explorer. It supports single or dual pane file displays with folder trees, tabs, filtering, sorting, grouping, file labelling, star ratings, tags and descriptions. It also handles queued file copies, batch renaming, archive formats such as Zip, 7Zip and RAR, duplicate file finding, backup synchronisation, image conversion and metadata editing. The application is written in native multi-threaded 64-bit C++ code and runs on 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11; ARM is not currently supported.

Directory Opus includes an Explorer Replacement mode, an integrated viewer, a metadata editor and a utility panel. Built-in tools cover synchronisation and duplicate file finding, and the application can use indexed search engines such as Windows Search and Everything. It supports FTP, with Advanced FTP available as an optional addition, and USB Export as another optional feature. The interface is configurable through light and dark modes, custom themes, editable toolbars and menus, hotkeys, floating toolbars and a scripting interface that can add commands and dialogs. Third-party tools can be integrated alongside the built-in features.

Directory Opus is available as a 30-day trial, with an extended 60-day trial available by registration. Licences are perpetual and are offered for one, two or five computers, with a free personal laptop licence included. An upgrade subscription provides access to updates and new features; if it expires, the installed version remains usable but updates are unavailable. Volume licensing under the GP Software Open Licence Plan starts at 11 seats, with Advanced FTP included in volume licences and maintenance available separately.
