 Same issue as Claus Ziegler.

I posted about this issue on the Directory Opus forum in this post .
Directory Opus is the only software I know of where the button doesn't work so I placed the issue there.
Of course they blame Actual Window Manager for the favorite button not being a Dopus feature.

Please read the post and check out the screendumps.

I am having this issue since a long time ago. In the past it worked (I only could not 'add current folder' to the favorites list.); later the favorites button worked only once in x times. Last year or so I haven't seen it working at all. The other buttons in the title bar do work.

The odd thing is that this particular issue only applies Directory Opus as far as I have experienced.
Indeed like Ziegler pointed out, the 'Recent' button also does not work in Dopus.

Cheers,
Roberto

 Hi,

the good news for me is: I am not alone ...  ;-)

I hope we can sort it out!

Best regards,

Claus

 After some searching the workarround is:

Closing Directory Opus
Clising Actual Manager

1st start Directory Opus
2nd Start Actual Manager


I disabled now the Auto Start from Actual Manager, leave the Autostart from DO enabled and start Actual Manager "by hand" after my logon.

I was not able to manage to control the automatic startup direction - see picture - Actual Manager is not starting after my logon (I played last night 5 hours to get it work)

Best regards,

dingolino

 Hi, everyone

Thank you for contacting us.

This is a part of a wider problem with processing of Directory Opus by our software and the problem has been fixed already. The fix will be available in the next version of our software which we plan to release in the first half of February.

Claus,

You're right. The problem happens if you start AWM and Directory Opus in particular order - Actual Window Manager first and then DO. The problem persists until you exit both applications completely and restart them in the "right" order - first Directory Opus and then Actual Window Manager. In this case Directory Opus windows are processed correctly and the problem shouldn't happen.

Could you clarify what exactly you specify as Program in the action in Task Scheduler? For Actual Window Manager it should be ActualWindowManagerCenter.exe from the installation folder.


Best regards.

 Hi Claus,

Thanks for looking into it!
I tested a pc restart without AWM starting automatically.
When I start AWM manually from there ... long time no see: indeed the 'favorites' and 'recent' buttons function properly in Dopus!
Yeaii!...

So as a workaround I kept AWM not starting automatically on pc boot up.
Additionally I added a button in Dopus which has assigned a shortcut to it for starting AWM
("C:\Program Files (x86)\Actual Window Manager\ActualWindowManagerCenter.exe").

See in the screendump below: with this added AWM shortcut button it should work pretty conveniently  ;)

 Hi,

with the help of Directory Opus forum I was able to make a Autostart of Actual Manager with Directory Opus features.
This is making sure that DO is started before Actual Manager will start.

Please find enclosed several pictures.




Script:


// Autostart_Actual_Manager
// © 2021 cziegler

// This is a script for Directory Opus.
// See https://www.gpsoft.com.au/DScripts/redirect.asp?page=scripts for development information.



// Called by Directory Opus to initialize the script
function OnInit(initData)
{
initData.name = "Autostart_Actual_Manager";
initData.version = "1.0";
initData.copyright = "© 2021 cziegler";
// initData.url = "https://resource.dopus.com/c/buttons-scripts/16";
initData.desc = "";
initData.default_enable = true;
initData.min_version = "12.0";
}

// Called when Directory Opus starts up
function OnStartup(startupData)
{
DOpus.Create().Command().RunCommand('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Actual Window Manager\\ActualWindowManagerCenter.exe');
}
