Tagging without modifying files

[anmac1789]

Hi, I also have an idea about tagging except not through .csv files, but with colour tagging similar to how you can tag files by colour on iphone. Is this possible ?

There's no UI option to color-tag items yet.

I will consider a UI to customize item colors.

For now, you can customize colors with color_filters

Does this work with specific files or does it only work with extensions?

You could replace *.mp3 (or similar) with everything64.exe in the color_filter examples.

what does this indicate ?

Don't know what you mean by that?

If you follow the example, this should show everything64.exe in a different colour in the result list.
(just as a demo of course; add your own filenames as needed)

What I mean is that under color_filters="*.mid;*.mp3;*.flac;*.ogg";"*.mpg;*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv", these are just extensions, does this field only take extensions or can I take filenames too ?

I guess the * can be replaced by a file name.
If not, there were only a list of extensions without *.
But why don't you just try it ?

Ok so I just used the following settings and that seemed to have shown the results with colour. Although, I am not sure why the filename isn't coloured. I am not sure why it didn't work last time.

highlighting colors take precedence.

what ?

[void]

The name part is highlighted to show the match from your search.

This highlighting overrides any custom colors filters.

Clear your search to see the custom color filters.

Yes.

The items under the Name column are shown with your custom color filters.

Everything doesn't have an option to override highlighting colors with custom color filters.
