lamensterms Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi, I've been investigating the possibilities of getting DWG properties to display in Windows Explorer columns (and Directory Opus Explorer Replacement), which has led me to... http://jtbworld.com/dwg-columns-for-explorer#about Which works great for Windows Explorer. Unfortunately it is not compatible with Directory Opus. I have been in-touch with JTB and they have advised me that it could be possible to update their program to include compatibility with DOpus, but have asked that I cover any development costs. So... a couple of questions: 1. Are there any other Directory Opus users out there who would be interested in having support for DWG properties within DOpus columns - and help spread the financial load of the developer? 2. Are there any other options available for getting DWG properties into Windows (and other) Explorer? I have done quite a bit of searching and have not come up with much (other than the JTB program). Thanks a lot for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamensterms Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Just an update on this, the Directory Opus developers have lent a hand getting this sorted out. I'll post back when I have a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ha!, I should have looked at this post before asking about JTBWorld's offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamensterms Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hey Patrick, thanks a lot for the reply. Were you able to the the info from DWGPROPS visible in Windows Explorer columns using JTBs tool? What OS are you running? I've managed to get JTBs tool to work well with Windows Explorer, hoping to get it going with Directory Opus soon (with the help of JTB & the DOpus developers).

Patrick Hughes Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I hadn't actually tried JTB's tool. I'm on Win 7 64 bit. My CadTempo program uses a Windows Explorer like view and I use custom columns to display drawing edit and elapsed time so I was interested in seeing if I could get DWGPROPS to display. From the looks of it as it stands I'm not able to but I know it's feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamensterms Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 For anyone interested, the latest Beta release of Directory Opus has support for JTB's DWG Columns (via a custom script, provided by the Directory Opus developers). http://resource.dopus.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26770&p=146223#p146223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
