Don't find any issue with color picker  But might be that the 'brightness' controller of the color is at the bottom or top. then color will always be black or white.

Oh I see. Yeah that makes sense. 👍

Don't think so, Color rules are based on filter rules.. and you can filter on filter rules.

I think you would be able to create loop that would break everything if you had color based on filter rule that are based on color, you end up in a loop.
But.. I think i might be possible.. since you can create rules based on any column. and there is so you can see the color name in a column. so you should be able to create a an advanced filter for it. but it might not be practical. Not sure if you can do it in script.

In many Windows applications, pressing Shift+F10 opens the context menu, just like right-clicking. Could this shortcut be added to MC ? It would also be helpful to allow users to customize the shortcut key for opening the context menu (MC V17).

#1 Incorrect Color Rule Display in Column Header
Clicking Color Rule in the file column header groups the items by their color rules, as expected. However, some groups appear with incorrect rule names, and others are missing their Color Rule names entirely. This may be related to the folder's size, as it contains a large number of files. In this particular case, additionally, sorting by Color Rule in descending order does not place the rules at the top as expected. In the attached screenshot the Color Rule title should be "Console ROM Emulators" not "AOM Precious Zip Bkps". I had some other issue with the Color Rules as well where I entered "Lunar IPS" as a Folder in "Filters' then even when I deleted that text-match it still was highlighting that folder ! (that could be the reason.)
P.S: Oops they're not on the top because I have all the files/folders Compressed, and those are defined as Color Rules as well !
P.P.S: Oh dear, the reason they're showing "AOM Precious Zip Bkps" as Color Rule is because they have overwritten that COlor Rule when Duplicating the Rule and Saving (in Color Rules Editor) ! Remember when I said when you Duplicate a Rule, they're inextricably linked to the parent, I think this bug is still prevalent. It was only switched in the Color Rules Editor, the Filter is still intact. I'll investigate the matter.

#2 Color Picker Selection Does Not Apply
In the Color Rules Editor, selecting a color from the color picker does not apply the chosen color. I had to enter the color manually using its HTML hex color code.

Script / Re: Filter Box Syntax To List ...

Last post by total_annihilation00 - October 13, 2026, 08:25:39

In script.. No. filtering can filter on color, but color can be defined from defined filters. and you can filter on defined filters..

Is there something like "label:" or something in Filter Box I can use to filter out all the 'Color Rules' items for example ?
So there's no Filter Box command syntax to narrow down to only Color Rules ? This would be very convenient for me to list every Color Rule by filter.
P.S: I found out how to do it by selecting a single Color Rule file, pressing Ctrl+Shift+Num+ (Select by Color) then pressing Ctrl+G (Ghost Filter.)
P.P.S: Never I figured out how to display only Color Rules, I was getting white noise from the vanilla Color Rules that's why I didn't see only my custom Color Rules taking effect.

Menu > Tools > To Clipboard, also the toolbar icon next to the 'eye' icon.. the clipboard with c:\ click on that to copy path, right click on it for more options
