QAP open folders in additional Directory Opus listers
NadineNB > 2022-06-27 04:39
Hello,
I have setup the following menus in QAP (roughly translated from the French version of QAP):
- Reuse folders
- Recent folders
- Reopen the active folder in the dialog
- Directory Opus Favorites
In a save dialog window, they serve their purpose of switching the dialog window to the target folder, which is great! But when I try to open these folders from say, the desktop after pressing on the middle button of the mouse, each one of these folders open as new tabs, in an additional "My Lister" lister in Directory Opus.
Furthermore, when I keep this additional lister opened, and try to open yet another folder from any of the above menu items, the current tab file path updates to that of the next folder target, instead of being opened in an additional tab.
Before installing and using QAP, all new folders respected the setting in "Directory Opus > Preferences > Launching Opus > Explorer Replacement" window where I have checked the box "Open external folders in a new tab" (and this box only). It meant that every single new folder opened with say, Listary menu or Opera browser (clicking on the "completed download" folder icon), would open as new tab in my currently opened Lister. There was no additional Lister created, ever.
Is it possible to fix the current conflict between QAP and this specific setting in Directory Opus?
Cordially. -

Bonjour Jean,
Thank you for the prompt reply! I have checked again the page and made sure that the "File Manager" tab in QAP options, looked exactly the same (as far as checkboxes and DOpus file path) as in the image under the header "How-to enable DOpus support".
The folders mentioned in my first post still open in new tabs of additional "My Lister" windows, rather than in the currently opened lister, unfortunately. -

Re-reading the above sentence, I should have replied that this is the normal behavior when you open the menu over an existing tab.

The normal behavior with the above DOpus default settings is:
- open the QAP menu (and select any folder item from any submenu, including Recent folders, etc.) inside an existing tab -> change the folder in this tab
- open the QAP menu and select any folder over any window other than DOpus (including the Desktop) -> open a new tab on the active side and change the folder in this tab
QAP will open a new lister (I mean a new DOpus window) only if you de-select "Use tabs instead of opening in a new window".
Did any other QAP+DOpus user faced the issue described in the original post? -

Thank you for clarifying how the change to a folder inside the same tab happens! I will use this moving forward.
I checked my QAP settings once more, and selecting a folder with QAP menu over any window other than DOpus still opens a new tab in a new DOpus window, despite keeping the box "Use tabs instead of opening in a new window" selected.
The problem is minor, and I will be manually creating new tabs in DOpus and changing folders inside those new tabs now that I know how to proceed. Hopefully there will be a better integration eventually. I used Listary to open DOpus folders from a menu before QAP, and DOpus folders were opened on the active side of existing DOpus windows, as intended. That's why I'm thinking there must be a conflict with QAP. Also in case it's relevant, on this PC I use:
- Windows 8.1 as the OS
- a beta version of DOpus, 12.28.1.

Sorry to disagree but the actual QAP-Dopus integration is working perfectly for all other users since 2014 :-)

@Other DOpus users: could there be some other setting in Nadine's DOpus causing this because result? -

There was a change in v11.5.5 in the way new folders are open in DOpus. This change was done to support Virtual desktops. This never caused an issue before for DOpus users.
It would be interesting to see if the issue you describe occurs with v11.5.4 that you can download here: https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/archive.../?v=11.5.4
Installing this older version will not delete your settings.
