		+	3rd party modules should work generally, but of course ones hitting the original Amiga hw (like some audio players) won't work. I'd recommend for example CycleMode (for cycling lister view modes from the keyboard), RootParent (to view the device list if going parent from the root level), and CutNPaste (copy/cut/paste files).

		+	=== Misc ===
		+
		+	Directory Opus is a very flexible and configurable program. Play around, learn, and remember RMB menus and ctrl key options in many places. Button banks and Start Menus do work over Ambient screen, hotkeys do also work fine and with the global hotkeys option you can use Directory Opus as a general purpose hotkey manager too.
		+
		+	Graphical tuning requires mostly icon files or IFF images, but when converted to the correct formats you'll get the look you want.
		+
		+	Here's an example video how you can tune Start Menus on MorphOS for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRrIi0datLs
		+
		+	And here are some examples of different lister toolbar images. MagicWB one comes with the install disk and others can be found from Aminet for example.

		+	=== Filetypes ===
		+
		+	Filetypes system is the heart of Directory Opus in practise. Filetypes will identify the type of a file and define actions available for it. Every user should create new filetypes according the other software, needs, and configurations they have and prefer, but [http://jpv.wmhost.com/files/dopus_filetypes_morphos.lha here] is a small collection for starters. It should work generally under any MorphOS setup. Copy the filetypes found in it to your DOpus5:Filetypes/ directory.
