Ultimate Directory Opus 4 Config

Pyromania · 23 December 2002, 12:58

I am looking for everyone's ultimate Dir Opus 4 Config files. Lets have a contest to see who can make Opus 4 jump through hoops the most. Please place your configs in the zone so that we may judge them!

Twistin'Ghost · 23 December 2002, 17:03

Unfortunately, mine is only good for me (buttons that link exclusively to the apps I use, etc.). The colors were chosen for lo-fi for more system resources available. And I run mine on Workbench so that I can have the Amiga shell on top of DOpus, so that limits my color pallete to that of the WB anyhow.

1 yr 1 month later

My dopus 4 config again suits mainly me, due to applications and paths etc...

Anyway here is a brief of what it can currently do:

* Recognises a shed-load of filetypes that have been added myself (for example clicking a .bb2 launches Blitz2).

New filetypes are added whenever I come accross them!

* Usual Lha/Lzx/Dms/Arj/Tgz etc.. filetypes supported (the differing LZX compressions also supported)

* Buttons to automatically create ADF's from floppies and compress them with lha automatically

* Convert DMS to ADF at the touch of a button (and delete the original DMS if required)

* Convert Disksqueeze (DSQ) filetypes to ADF/DMS at the touch of a button (and delete original if wanted)

* View pics/anims with ppshow/multiview or dopus internal viewer (double clicking uses multiview)

* Plays alot of sound formats from buttons (using external progs like Play16)

* Uses XFD-Decrunch & XPK etc to handle most packer type formats

* Has buttons for Snoopdos, Xcopy, Ced, PowerPacker, Imploder, Crunchmania and more!!

* buttons to add/delete my old BBS Advert to lha/lzx/dms archives

* Help file edited to show help for different commands

* Support for RNC (Propack) compress/decompress

* Colour coded buttons to keep certain command types together (For example Read/Ansiread/Hex read in white/red)

Well that'll just about do it for now

No doubt I'll add-remove options (the dms-->adf and disksqueeze --> adf/dms was added after requests from other ppl!)

Couple of Screenshots

The first showing those loverly coloured buttons, tho I have been slagged for the blue/purple buttons

Next a quick view of the buttons and filetypes

Could you upload that config, and/or the entire program if that wont work.

BippyM · 24 February 2004, 09:54

Attached here!!

Converting a bunch of dsq-archives to adf-format with only one click?(without inserting image into any drive)
This would be, what i need!
Please tell me.

If anyone could tell me how to edit the ClassicWB DOpus config to show icon info on my non scalos os3.9 install I would be very grateful

marcfrick2112 · 26 October 2008, 14:36

My Dopus config. is pretty simple compared to some of yours, but again, it does mostly what I need. Once I get net access back on my Amigas, I can upload if anyone wants. Not real exciting, I imagine, I just have basic LHA, LZX, ZIP functions, play .FLI's, and MP3's (via Songplayer, just pops up on the DOpus screen, I push it to the back if needed...)

Config's are nice, but a few basic tutorials on just HOW you got Dopus to do the things would be Great !!

(Ex. I really need to set up packing/unpacking .ADF's and .DMS's from Dopus..... hmmm, and is there any way to Stop DOpus from buffering DIR's in memory, if needed? A few Amiga CD-r's I've burned have lots and lots of little files, which take forever to read, yet a simple DIR from a shell brings it up right away....)

Here is the commands I use in my dopus button this uses FMS device as a floppy

Code:

lzx -X0 x {fu} ram:
packedev ram:image.dsq ff0: <s:dsx.txt
copy workbench:FMS/UNIT0 "{d}{o}.adf"
delete ram:image.dsq

I also have the same setup using a RAD drive

Thank you very much, bippym.

After installing FMS-device, it works fine for me.
Now i am able to convert a bunch of dsq-archives with only one click.

Is there a way to convert a bunch of warp(wrp) disk-archives with only one click?

...ok, no efforts anymore, i have found a solution for myself,
it is absolutly simple, if you know how to do.
Now its easy for me to check this huge BBS archive(BoilerRoom) for non TOSEC stuff, there are many.

err...how?

Remember there is no need for converting "wrp"-archives to "adf",
because WinUAE is able to recognize such disk-archives.
Ok, here is my solution:
First you have to install "FMS device":
http://aminet.net/disk/misc/fms_20.lha
Inside of this package is a guide, how to do.
2. You need "unwarp" command in your Sys:c directory.
http://aminet.net/util/arc/warp-1.11.lzh
Then you can configure Dopus 4.xx to upack those "wrp"-archive straight to your HD, without using floppy DF0:, DF1: and so on.
This way you win a lot of time.
Adding 2 screenshots, to show how to do
I hope i was able to help.

Disksqueeze = packdev inside an lzx archive

quickway i do it, yours may differ with other tools.

unpack dsq archive (lzx)
xadunfile SourcePath:filename DestPath:
.
xadunfile work:FileName.dsq ram:FileName.pkd

unpack packdev (pkd) archive (Disk image file)
xadundisk SourcePath:FileName DestPath: DIMG
.
xadundisk Ram:ABC.pkd DF0: DIMG

Hi there!
Since last HDD crash, i lost ALL my DirOpus configs.

I remember a while ago, there used to be some "home-made" config modules for this lovely app.

If somebody has a"tuned-up" config module that would like to share with me, please PM!

I sed to have LOTS of things ready-to-use, but is been so many years i cant even remember how to configure them again...

Thanks!
Sebastian

lads how to config DMS in Directory Opus?
i download http://aminet.net/package/util/dopus...ctDMS#contents

AMIGASYSTEM · 02 March 2019, 10:14

To create a DMS or write on a real floppy you can use directly the DMS command, or you can use applications such as DMSDir.dopus, you can also convert with a click to ADF with X-DMS, see my video.
