Could you build this?

Partial A basic dual-pane file manager is vibe-codeable, but matching Directory Opus's depth requires deep Windows shell integration, plugin systems, and performance tuning.

What it would actually take: A real version would be a native Windows app (C# or C++) using the Shell APIs, context-menu and shell-extension hooks, and a scripting or plugin system. The hard parts are reliable shell integration, handling network and archive filesystems, and performance on huge directories. It needs Windows internals expertise, though a simpler version can be built quickly.
