    It's not like moderate new Directory Opus (year 2000+) at all. It's more like Finder.

    It has features that are only in the $89 AUD version of Directory Opus like flat file view and full customization of the toolbar. I bought the $49 AUD Directory Opus Light version and prefer to use Double Commander.
