Note that I don't know that the newer thumbnail API is actually anything to do with what you are seeing. Retrofitting support to Opus 9 would not have made sense in terms of time & effort, and in terms of how soon to Opus 10's release the usefulness of the new API became apparent. When Opus 9 came out, virtually nothing was using the newer thumbnail API, so there was no reason for us to spend time adding support for it.īy the time Opus 10 came out, a few important things had started using the API, so it was one of the things we took the time to add support for in the newer version, along with an overhaul of the way icons and thumbnails are handled in general.

(Just as there are some Windows XP and Windows Vista features that Opus 10 handles better.) Opus 9 is/was fully supported on Windows 7, but there are some Windows 7-related features that Opus 10 handles better. Please tell me I can - somehow.īasically, you appear to be saying that Opus 9 is not fully supported on Win 7 is that true?
The simple answer to this problem is for me, and I am surprised that there not others with similar concerns, to be able to use, once again, the standard Windows Explorer thumbnail viewers and pop-ups.

In summary: while Directory Opus works fine under Win 7 (or so I think so far) I miss the full pop-up data from dBpoweramp for audio files, the slightly greater pop-up data for raw image files and thumbnail images for recent Sony raw image types.

As an example, the universally used tool for handling metadata on image files, ExifTool, is updated as often as 15 to 20 times a year! Is GP Software really going to try and do that? Have you any idea why GP Software has moved to the plug-ins, as they will have great trouble in keeping up to date with audio file changes, and will have no chance at all at keeping up with image file format changes, it is a poor piece of business judgement to me. My guess is that the viewer plug-in supports Sony Raw V2.0, but not V2.1. I do not use the Opus image viewer, and never have done nor wanted to I rely on Fastone's Image Viewer, which is set as the Windows default file 'opener' for image files on my system, and I am a long-term user of dBpoweramp, and therefore want access to its Explorer integration.Īs far as the plug-ins are concerned, they are quite inadequate, and in the case of the Sony raw formats (.arw) they are hugely out-of-date - they appear to be at least 2 years old which means that not only are all of the new cameras (A580, A55/65/77 and Nex 3/5/7) not supported, but also the formats generated by the newer versions of Sony raw converter program. arw for my Sony A700) that I currently enjoy via Explorer's accommodation of other software, and I particularly want thumbnails of all Sony raw image formats. M4A and FLAC) and Raw image files (in my case. I really do want the pop-up information for audio files (e.g. I should add here that I have tried running with the image file and audio file plug-ins enabled and disabled, and in neither case are the results satisfactory.
#Raw image thumbnailer and viewer upgrade
To me, and I fully accept that many people will disagree, Opus is not cheap and the upgrade discounts are far from generous. I should add that money is very, very tight now and I slightly resent being told that I need to upgrade to Opus 10 when I went to 9 not long ago, and researched whether it was supported on Win 7 64-bit it was, so I went ahead with the migration. Basically, you appear to be saying that Opus 9 is not fully supported on Win 7 is that true? I would just like Opus 9 to work as well as Explorer does with photo and music files, as I am now back to using Explorer as the default file manager and I think I will have to get rid of Opus. I do not understand what you said about a 'different API when on Windows 7' in the context of Opus 9 and 10.
