GP Software Reviews 4

I'm usually a patient person, but even my patience ran out this time. Extremely awkward software with a badly designed interface. Many everyday functions are hidden so “efficiently” that you regularly end up searching through the manual just to locate basic options.

But that’s minor compared to the real issue. 30 days before the trial even expires, the app starts aggressively demanding payment every single day. Support, meanwhile, does an impressive job of wasting your time while fixing absolutely nothing — and eventually, in my case, simply bans you instead of resolving the problem.

So if you enjoy needless frustration, clumsy UX, daily pressure for money, and the feeling that your time has no value, this product was clearly built specifically for you:)

One of the best Explorer Replacements out there

I have used Directory Opus since the Amiga days. They continually strive to keep the software up to date, bugfree and what their users want & need. I use it constantly.. at home and at work. It is hands down one of the best written piece of software I use.

I've used GP Software's Directory Opus file manager for over a decade, after trying around 20 other alternatives to the one included in Windows. Some of those alternatives were very good, and usually free, but DO is outstanding enough to warrant repeat purchase.

DO has way more than I need, the main benefits for me are:

Access speed—Layouts view is 2-click access to various groups of folders I need for a task, especially useful when there are 2-3 FTP sites needing login as part of the job;
FTP client—I used most of the top-rated ones last decade, but DO's built-in FTP is far more reliable and robust than those good ones ever were;
ZIP manager—Shows ZIP [& other archive] files as a folder, and allows contained files to be operated on as if they were independent;
Renaming—Once you figure it out, the bulk renaming functions are excellent;
Rock solid—Doesn't crash or freeze or throw any other tantrum.

Summary—DO has that extra super-slick feel of outstanding software.
