Can MC keep custom file placement in folders, or color files or folders?

(1/1)

Mac29:
Hello I'm new in the forum. I've been trying to file a file manager that allows me to place files where I want them, basically 'geographically' in a folder, so I can list them but then have them revert to the "layout" of where they were. So far, I haven't read that MC can do this.

Alternatively, I'm curious if MC can save colors to files or folders in order to make it easier for me to recall what they hold.


Thank you,

Mac

Yes, but it may be tricky since there're a lot pf options. You should enable File coloring: either via color spectrum icon on the toolbar or via menu > Explorer Panel Settings > File and Folder state colors > Rule based coloring for files and folders. There're also a bunch of options for background etc, be careful.

In the File coloring rules editor you can create you own profile and set up colors for everything.

If you want to set up coloring for some specific folder, you'll need to configure like on the picture
