There is just such an option, but that's doubly weird insofar as I've since learned two things: I can't get folder navigation to work in folder portals at all. It simply opens the folder in an external Windows Explorer window. Yet double clicking empty space in the folder portal or the title bar correctly opens the folder in Directory Opus! To call this schizophrenic behavior would be an understatement...

Another clarification after more testing: the shortcuts work fine in a regular fence (i.e., opening in Directory Opus as they should) but fail only when they are part of a "folder portal", which is what I have been using for convenience. The problem seems confined to folder portals, so perhaps there's something you can look at specific to that code? In the meantime, I have a workaround.

I use Directory Opus (DO) a lot because it's arguably the best file manager for Windows. I much prefer it to Windows Explorer, which is why I've configured it as the default handler for folders and their shortcuts. So if I place a shortcut to a particular folder on my desktop and double-click it, it opens in DO and not Windows Explorer. When I drag the very same shortcut into a fence and double-click it there, however, it opens in Windows E

I was referred to this thread by a prior and now locked thread to which I posted on the subject by sdRohan. None of the three machines on which I'm seeing the issue have Stardock Central installed. One of them was just built in late October of last year, so there's no chance it has ever had it installed. Any other ideas?

Sorry to hear you are having issues. It appears you might be using version 2 , V3 is recommended for Win10. Hmm... That's odd. I downloaded Object Desktop and let it install Multiplicity, and when I bring up the Multiplicity about box, that's not what it shows at all. Here's the screenshot for proof that I'm using V3 (unless I'm really missing something): <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/3/40/340443/9ce6c335-99e

What are you doing each morning? Is this resuming from suspend, or after bootup? I assume you have found you do not have any sort of multiplicity control each morning? In answer to your questions, I'm simply sitting down at the computer and moving the mouse. It's neither resuming from suspend nor after bootup; I leave the computer on, logged in, and running, often performing downloads or other chores at night. The problem occurs as soon as I move the mouse

I have the same problem, almost every morning. When I looked in the Windows 10 reliability history, I found that Multiplicity was crashing on my primary as well.

I'm on my very first game and got a quest to escort a noblewoman from an inn to an estate. The only problem is that the only estate I can find anywhere nearby appears to be within an enemy zone of control. When I take her there and try to click on it I get forced to choose between going away or declaring war on that empire. Is there some way to view the target location for the quest, to make sure I'm going to the right place? Or is there some way to complete the quest if, in fact, the necessa

I'd congratulate you on your perspicacity, Mr. Wardell, but I'm an engineer who shares your view of DRM; as such, it would seem just a bit too collegial. So instead I'll congratulate you on helping to birth an awesome game!

Mr. Wardell made me a believer in Stardock years ago. I pre-ordered Demigod without reading much of anything about it, or playing it, or pretty much anything else. You see, I know it will be good because it's Stardock. If it isn't great at launch, I know Stardock will make it great soon enough. That trust doesn't come easily from me, but Stardock has earned it with their previous software. I look forward to playing Demigod for a long time to come. To those having issues, sit

Absolutely fanstastic post and dead on target. I don't support piracy at all--I develop software for a living--but to be honest I'm sometimes forced to download cracks or cracked copies of games I've legally purchased simply because crappy DRM won't let me play them! The fact that Stardock games are fun is only one of the reasons I buy them; I also buy them because I'm voting with my dollars. To wit, I'm tired of game companies treating the paying customer like a criminal when their

FWIW, it's working great for me on Vista 64. My video card is an NVIDIA 8800 GT card using WHQL 169.25 drivers.

I'm a newbie to [I]Sins of a Solar Empire[/I], but I'm not a newbie gamer. What has me flummoxed is how deep the game is. I originally started writing a long post about my experiences, but I realized that what I really need is a manual. Can anyone comment on when a manual might be available?

So in other words, a software "distro" system is crappy if it (1) takes any amount of time to get a game to you, and/or (2) is simply inconvenient in your eyes, and this justifies your stealing things? What a jerk. Grow up and buy something if you want it.

I wonder: does anybody here create skins for MusicMatch Jukebox (MMJB)? I see lots for WinAmp, but MMJB is by far my favorite MP3 handling software for several reasons. It rips (unlike WinAmp), its library features are much nicer than anything other players provide, it integrates easily with virtually every portable MP3 player around, etc. The one drawback is that nobody seems to skin for it. Any thoughts?
