Hi everyone,
Have just downloaded Multi Commander and instantly prefer it to the offering from you know who.
What I would like to do is have different colours for filename dependent upon type or for MP3's genre such as :
For example in my music folder I have 2 artists that contain adult mp3's so just to remind myself I would like their names to be say red. Also I have some empty folders as I have not yet obtained the albums and those would be say blue.
Example of what I am after :
Artist Album Size Auto Date Time
Kevin Wilson 371.61MB 08.05.2014 19:46:45
5PP 54.85 MB 08.05.2014 19:47:10
Barefoot Man 637.87 MB 08.05.2014 19:47:28
Barron Knights 64.80 MB 08.05.2014 19:47:29
Benny Hill 324.99 MB 08.05.2014 19:47:41
Dick Jonas 746.45 MB 08.05.2014 19:48:16
Dos Gringos 214.56MB 08.05.2014 19:48:26
Houghton Weavers 29.43 MB 08.05.2014 19:48:26
Irish 222.22MB 08.05.2014 19:48:39

I would appreciate if anyone could give me a pointer on how to do this. The above code would be something like
Red - adult
Blue - comedy
Orange - military folk
Lime - odds and s**s
Green albums - empty.
I do not know if this is possible but if I don't ask never will.
Thanks in advance

You should go to File Coloring Rules Editor (via menu Configuration or multicolor circle icon on the toolbar).
There you should either create new coloring profile or modify existing.
Add new rule, set parameters to e.g.
Field: Full filename
Match: Is
Value: Benny Hill
Then choose font styles and colors. Create as many rules as you need.
Save changes and then activate appropriate profile via multicolor circle icon on the toolbar.
Unfortunately, you can not create a rule for zero-sized folders. Unless sometime Mathias add plugins' specific actions to the field list or Script type which would use user script :)

File Coloring can not match against "Artist" properties from the ID3 meta data inside the file,
Matching against extended file properties are not yet implemented.
