Highlighting files with comments (from descript.ion)

[Aleksio]

Sometimes I work with a lot of files in a directory, and some files have comments in descript.ion. I'd like to be able to see such files instantly (something like "NTFS-compressed files" in Explorer).
It could be

• an overlay icon with small image (preferred),
  modification of file name (e.g. asterisk (*) before name),
  or new attribute in "Attr" column...

Also it would be nice to be able to search for files based on comment from descript.ion.

You can mark such files with some color. And also searching for such files is possible. First, open the Search dialog (Alt+F7), go to the Plugins tab, enable Search in Plugins checkbox; set the following values in the comboboxes:
Plugin: tc
Property: comment
OP: !=
Value: <empty>

Then go to the Load/Save tab, press Save and enter any name (e.g. HasComment). After that you will be able to quickly search for files having comments by calling the Search dialog, selecting the HasComment item in the Load/Save tab and pressing Load then Start Search.

Now go to the "Configuration -> Color -> Define colors by file type" dialog, press Add, select HasComment from the list, press OK and select the color in the dialog appeared. Close all the dialogs with OK buttons and see your commented files highlighted.

And you may display the comments as tooltip:
Confiduration->Options->Display:Help Texts:Show filename in filelist as tooltip if truncated + Win32-style tips withfile comments (if available)
