A quick look at what's new ...

I'm going to borrow from the official site with a short list of what I find the most important to impart at this time. There is, of course, a lot more - but this is the list you need to see.

• Content Type system enables you to configure Opus to automatically change the display format when you access folders containing certain types of files.
• Duplicate File Finder function lets you search a folder or hard drive for duplicate files.
• Enhanced File Replace Dialog includes more file information and displays image thumbnails where appropriate.
• Enhanced Rename Dialog includes real-time preview, user-configurable presets and sequential numbering.
• File Collections system lets you group files from different locations in a collection, to view and interact with them as if they were all in the same folder. The File Finder can now optionally output its results to a File Collection, which lets you use the full power of the Opus Lister when dealing with your Find results.
• Flat View ™ - a new display mode lets you expand the current folder in the Lister to view the contents of its subfolders, and all their subfolders, and so on.
• Image Conversion function lets you convert, rotate and resize images quickly and easily.
• Image Viewer enhancements, including file tagging, alpha-blended and transparent image support, gamma correction and more.
• InfoTips, ToolTips that can display user-configurable information, including thumbnail images, for any type of file or group.
• Lister Styles system that lets you quickly modify the layout of an existing Lister, accessed via a tab control in a Toolbar.
• Secure Delete function that lets you securely erase files using an NSA approved algorithm.
• Settings Import/Export function makes it easy to fully backup your Opus configuration.
• SMTP mailer makes it easy to send files via email from within Opus.
• Synchronize File Function that supports single and both-way file synchronization.
• Viewer Plugins. New Viewer plugins included: - Movie Viewer lets you watch movies from within Opus; ActiveX Documents lets you view Office documents, html, flash files etc. Also included are plugins for Text Thumbnails, Animated Gifs and more.

Pretty cool so far, eh? Well, let's get started here by talking about how the crux of the product, the LISTERS, have been enhanced ...
