r/dopus

DopusWorX is now stable. After the beta series and two release candidates this is the first 1.0 release: a document viewer and in-place editor that lives inside Directory Opus, out of beta and ready for daily use.

The planned transition to an executable installer is now done. Download the setup exe, run it, and it does the rest - closes Directory Opus, installs, registers in Apps & features with a working uninstaller, and relaunches Opus. Next update, you just run the newer setup over the top. Winget support is coming too, it just takes a couple of days to clear review, so for now the setup exe is the way in. The in-app update still works as expected for those already on it, and I'm keeping the legacy zip with the CMD installers as well, so nobody's workflow breaks.

Coming from rc.1 or a beta

You get the whole rc.2 round as well: spell check with fifty-plus downloadable dictionaries, back and forward through files like a browser, the banner image search with drag-to-position, an opacity slider on every colour, gradients everywhere backgrounds go, the F1 shortcut guide, matching-text highlighting, table cell and border colours, list and heading spacing controls, the app icon, and around thirty fixes.

Get it

Download DopusWorX-Setup-v1.0.0.exe from the releases page: https://github.com/HyperWorX/DopusWorX/releases

The exe is new and unsigned, so Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt the first time, More info then Run anyway. Once winget clears review it will be one command:

winget install HyperWorX.DopusWorX

Requirements

Windows x64, Directory Opus 13 or later, and the Edge WebView2 runtime (already on most up-to-date systems; the pane shows a download link if it is missing).

Report anything odd on the issues page, ideally with the file or a snippet that triggers it. And if 1.0 has been useful, you know where the coffee button is.
