I am rewriting my review again after a few months of using the pro version of this program ($100 for 2 PC liscneses roughly)

I highly recommend this program. You aren't a poweruser until you've used this software
I also only named about half the features, there's lots more I haven't even looked into it yet or don't have a use for it

… worth every penny, but additional payment for ”advenced FTP” functionality is a hit below the belt.
These functions should be available in the normal Pro license.
I've been a DO user for 5-6 years at least, and it hasn't improved much over that period of time. However, they keep charging for pricey upgrades and simply aren't worth it.
They won't be getting any more money from me.
I think the opposite: DOpus gets updated super frequently. They are quick to fix and tweak things reported by the users, their response time is the best I've ever seen. Mostly you'll get answers within 1 minute and I'm not even joking. As for improvements: first and foremost, the app has been around since stone age (early 90s) and it's pretty much complete and perfect. There are no gaping flaws or things it can't do, that other file managers can. Secondly, they DO keep adding features and tweaks that makes it even more efficient to use. In other words: the app gets updated about once every two weeks or so, and the developer response is excellent.

Love this app, puts explorer to shame.
i found that the following theme/Skin made it so much easier to access its full potential
KODC skin
Theme adds the following pre made buttons for this app
with a single click you can do the following
Advanced Rename Buttons (for files/folders names)
- converts all Dots/Underscores to spaces
- remove all brackets and whats inside of them.
- Capitalise file names
- trim/add digits/characters
Create New folders based on filenames
Easily create listing of all files within a folder
Send files directy to other software (daemon tools/convertXtodvd/MP3Tag)
--------too much to mention
