Disk Master Clone

I'd cuse either DOpus, DirOpus or DirectoryOpus. v4.17 Pre 21 is nice although 4.12 will probably do it and will likely be less buggy (I actually ended up using 4.17 with the 4.12 DOpus_disk modules and left some specific program preferences alone to get around some bugs I was experiencing).

In the genaral setup I'd guess they are pritty even matched but once you've configged your 3-6 banks of buttons and custom banks to all your nice little CLI commands, Arexx scripts to your programs etc and configured all your filetypes there's simply nothing like DOpus imho.

Then of cause I can see some people preffer one applications layout but the power of DOpus isn't in it's layout (although I like it).

Glad someone's in my boat. I for a long time used to have DOpus4.12 startup on boot... had all my stuff configed... had multiple banks of buttons to start my differen WB programs aswell so didn't need to use Workbench for about anything. Nowadays I've cut back some... still uses DOpus for ALOT of stuff but doesn't use it as a "workbench replacement" anymore.

Also to rock the boat a little (many boats coming tonight) I preferr the 4.12/4.17 version over 5.x... have Magellan CD aswell as Magellan Extras CD but they are hardly ever at work, can honestly say I can't remember when I last used 5.x.

No one with me on this DOpus4 better than DOpus5?

Thank you! I never got to grips with DOpus5... I'm sure if you're into it that it can probably do some fancey things 4.1x can't do and the GUI was upgraded (in my oppinion to the worse cause I don't understnad the darn symbols). And the WB replacement idea... bluah :inquisitive:
