I will not cover the eye-candy aspects of toolbar creation, that is a whole tutorial in itself, this will simply deal with the mechanics of creating the toolbar, and I will leave its appearance for you to do with as you will. A left click will take us to the root of the given drive, a right click will bring up a menu containing both static hard coded "Favourites" as well as "Recents", and a middle click will perform a "Properties" on the selected items in a lister.
What we will create is a drivebar that has one button for each drive, and that one button will have three functions (LMB, RMB, MMB) not just the one function as the current drivebar buttons have. This drivebar will really only have practical applications IF you have several hard disks and/or partitions, although its general concept could equally be applied if you only had a C:\ drive. Reading it alone will probably not be of much use, as many of the tasks involved may be unknown to some users, so it is best that you "read and do." The instructions are detailed, so try not to jump the gun or second guess what I am doing. This tutorial will explain in detail, a step by step method of creating a different type of drivebar, one that you may find very useful.Įven if you do not find this drivebar useful, you may learn some Opus tricks by following this tutorial. The default drivebar does actually provide a generic RMB function, but this a global function, not a local one, in other words, it is the same for every button on the drivebar, not unique to each button. It is because the drivebar only uses a left mouse button (LMB from now on) function, when all Opus buttons can support up to three functions, namely "Left Mouse Button", "Right Mouse Button" (RMB) and "Middle Mouse Button" (MMB). Opus provides us with a default Drivebar (called "Drives") and this is a big improvement in the navigation stakes, but it is not perfect, mainly because its functionality is only 33% of what it could be. Whilst this method works to a degree, it is a very long way from being the quickest method.

Triple Drive Buttons (How to lose the tree) (step-by-step)ĭirectory Opus 8 (Opus from now on) provides so many navigation methods, that they can be easily overlooked, especially if you are used to a standard Windows Explorer method of navigation, which is generally via the tree in combination with Back/Forward and favourites. Strictly, Three-Buttons should only run commands on each action while menus should be confined to simple sub-menus and Button-Menus (like the Back button).
This is not officially supported by Opus and may cause some cosmetic problems or other small oddities in some situations. Please note: Part of this tutorial describes a way to create a Three-Button with menus on the left/right/middle-click actions.
