A new version of the GPL'd Directory Opus 4 has been made availble from the Directory Opus 4 yahoo groups file area.
Changes in v4.17 include:
4.17 (26.05.2003):
- few hits removed
- Does not try to set archive bit on read-only volumes when copying.
- All, None and Toggle ARexx commands support window parameter (0 = left lister, 1 = right lister, other = current lister)
- DefIcons are used for adding icons under OS3.5+ (for non-defined filetype icons)

- scrolling lister by character keys changed: now shifted keys are used to jump to a directory starting with the pressed key instead of jumping to a file
- new tooltype BEHINDWB (and -B CLI option) to prevent DOpus to popping up its screen. This allows to start it from WBStartup ready to use by just a screen switch.
- fixed copy progress display in one-bar mode
- Show function will use datatypes if it fails to load IFF file (it supports 24bit IFF files only through datatypes)
