Thank you, Mathias,

I also had to activate the color rules in the Explorer panel settings, but now it works.

Support and Feedback / coloring rule for overlong file paths?

« on: Yesterday at 11:18:58 »

Hi all,
is it currently possible to define a file coloring rule for overlong file paths?
i.e. if the path has more than 260 characters, apply the coloring rule

regards, m.

Thank you, Mathias!

That sounds amazing. Unfortunately I only have the Windows App Store Edition. I cannot switch to another edition, since my employer restricts that.
Currently, the date of my WASE is August 26 2024.
If I may ask, what is the update interval of the WASE?

You can force do it using script that starts at startup.

ok, great, thank you

Hi Mathias,

The split size right now is not remembered across sessions. It would be much better for me ;-), if it would get remembered, at least as an option.

Anyway, thank you for this good program.

Thank you.

So you want it to return directly if it finds any files. Not sure you can do that efficient with script yet.

I have not yet looked at the scripting limitations. Are you saying that the script does not have a return command that you could call if it encounters a file? Seriously? Well, as I just said, I will yet have to look at the scripting. Maybe it works differently than I would expect?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Color code folders based on empty sub-branch / MultiScript columns

Hello Mathias,

I am a long time user of XYplorer and am "forced" to migrate to Multi Commander because of restrictions bestowed upon me by my employer.
That said, MC seems to be nice and actively (maybe even passionately?) developed. So, the pain is already reduced.

One of the features, though, that I am very sad about to have lost, is the option to be able to color code folders based on whether their sub-branch is empty of files. Meaning, if the folder and its sub-folders (if any) do not contain any files, then color code the folder in a certain way, e.g. blue text.
Especially, when browsing a folder structure, created by someone else, this is very helpful. Sometimes also with my own folder structure.

In order to accomplish this, that logic must be accessible in the file coloring rules.
I also have an idea, already, how:

In https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,4745.msg13685.html#msg13685 you mentioned:

I have some idea about a column that gets the content to show from a MultiScript.

With such a "custom column" implemented I could (hopefully) write my own script for that column, evaluating each folders content and returning an indicator in that special column (as long as I have a variable/placeholder for the item of each line (respectively, the current line,) that I can use in that MultiScript). Then I could base my coloring rule on that column's value - as long as the coloring rules will then support such special columns.

There are other things that I already miss, but this one currently seem the most important for me.
Many thanks in advance if you were to consider it.

Kind regards,
multicart
