DopusWorX v1.0.0-beta

DopusWorX v1.0.0-beta

Released: 2026-06-19

The first public release of DopusWorX, the successor to mdWorX. What began as a Markdown viewer has been rewritten from the ground up into a full document workspace inside Directory Opus, with a maths workspace, more file types, thirty palettes and a much sturdier save path. It carries a beta tag while it sees its first round of real-world use.

What it is

A native Directory Opus viewer plugin: a Windows x64 DLL that renders documents in the Opus viewer pane and pop-out window using the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, not a separate app. It is file-type aware: Markdown opens with Reading, Live and Source; code in a highlighted Source view; CSV/TSV as an editable grid; HTML as its own page with a Source view and split.

Highlights

• Markdown in Reading, Live and Source with a split preview (draggable divider, linkable scrolling), a full formatting toolbar, find and replace (case, whole word, regex), and undo/redo with a history dropdown and live counts.
• Maths in LaTeX or AsciiMath, inline with $...$, display with $$...$$, or am blocks, with auto-detect, a symbol panel, click-to-edit, in-place convert, slanted fractions, eight fonts, your own macros, and a choice of KaTeX or Temml. $5 stays text, and the engine loads only when a document has equations.
• Code with syntax highlighting for around thirty languages, a line-number gutter, word wrap, a copy button, colour swatches, and diff/patch colouring.
• CSV/TSV as an editable grid: sort, in-cell edit, add/delete rows with undo, filter, freeze the first column, override the delimiter, and copy out as a Markdown table.
• HTML with a rendered View, a Source view, and a split.
• Thirty palettes (eighteen dark, twelve light) including ProWorX, ProWorX Light and GloWorX, following the Opus pane background by default or pinned, plus a full visual theme editor.
• GitHub-flavoured Markdown plus Obsidian-style [[wikilinks]], ![[transclusion]], embeds, and the image alt size/align syntax.
• Customisable: auto-hiding toolbars, draggable toolbar layout, file-type handling at Pane / DOpus / Explorer levels, encoding and fallback codepage, auto-save, and more.

Robust and secure

Atomic writes with an empty-buffer guard and crash recovery; content-aware detection of external changes, so no silent overwrites; remote images off by default (no network request); a hardened HTTPS-only updater with an anchored host allowlist and SHA256 verification; and no registry keys of its own.

For mdWorX users

You gain a full maths workspace, more file types (code, CSV/TSV, HTML), more palettes, and a sturdier save path. DopusWorX uses its own name, settings location and release channel (%APPDATA%\HyperWorX\DopusWorX\). Settings do not migrate; set it up fresh from its own Settings dialog.
