Where Does Directory Opus Store Configuration?
Directory Opus keeps layouts, buttons, and preferences in AppData GPSoftware, portable through .ocb backup files.
Last updated
Directory Opus stores nearly everything under AppData Roaming GPSoftware Directory Opus: toolbars, layouts, folder formats, scripts, and preferences. Your files never move there; only the manager setup does. That makes config backups tiny and migrations painless.
The portable form is an .ocb backup from Settings then Backup and Restore. Restore it on a new PC for identical bars and hotkeys. License certificates travel separately, so keep those details apart from the config backup.
Where Directory Opus stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus
Back up with Settings and Backup and Restore to a dated .ocb file. Restore with Opus closed for a clean apply. Scripts and images referenced by buttons need their own copies.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Directory Opus to a new PC?
Write an .ocb backup on the old machine, install Opus on the new one, and restore the backup. Reapply the license certificate afterward from your GP Software account.
Where are Directory Opus toolbar icons stored?
Inside the config tree above, with custom image sets beside them. The .ocb backup bundles them, so share that single file instead of cherry picking folders.
