Title: Filename font colour --- how to
Post by: kaybee327 on May 15, 2014, 01:51:41

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
Jenny Talia                                            198.18 MB       08.05.2014   19:46:22
Oscar Brand                                                                    637.87 MB       08.05.2014   19:47:28
                                     Military Songs                                 0 Byte(s)      09.05.2014    02:07:55
                                     Out of The Blue                                 0 Byte(s)      09.05.2014    02:08:12
                                     Roll Call                                            0 Byte(s)      09.05.2014    02:08:39
                                     Sings for Adults                                 0 Byte(s)      09.05.2014    02:08:51
                                     Tell it to the Marines                            0 Byte(s)      09.05.2014    02:09:10

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

Keith

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.

Code: [Select]

Field: Full filename
Match: Is
Value: Benny HillThen 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.
