Feature request for custom columns.

[azazel100]

Realy like the new stuff!

But...

I would be very pleased to se more flexibility in defining contents of custom columns., namely 2 things:
1. No mendatory columns ( name + ext ). I don't dead them when browsing
music.
2. conditional formating, like in winamp playlist.


Keep up the GREAT job !

[edit]
Oh, i just remembert. Remembering display filters per tab would be nice too

Unfortunately TC needs them to identify the files.

2. conditional formating, like in winamp playlist.

Mind explaining a bit more?

Workaround: make them "small" (width=5 is minimum).

You can decreased it to 1 with the mouse

You can decreased it to 1 with the mouse

And then use tooltips to identify items in the list!

It would also be nice if you could name your custom columns instead of the name being the first custom column.

There is a field on the top of the configuration column dialog...put the name you want there

D'oh!

I second the request to hide filename and extension... I don't need them for my images and need more space for EXIF data in the display.

Also, some sort of conditional columns seems necessary... if the dimensions of a graphic aren't in the EXIF data, I would want them obtained by a content plugin that can read the file dimensions directly.

Finally, I want to be able to show the file extension in the first column in full view.

If they are necesary there could be an option to hide them. When i make them small, they still visible in the next column ( ext ), making it unreadable. Or at least a posibility to change their position, so that i could make them the last (hidden) ones.

And about flexibility: eg. if_exist [ title] then show [artist"-"[album"-"][title] else show [filename].

And ability of tabs to have different and rememberd display filter, so that I could Heve semi-locked tab Images pointing to the root of my images directory showing only images .

I also was a bit disappointed that it's impossible to delete (hide) these two columns. I wonder what Christian think about it - will it be possible to change it?

They could be made 0 width, but currently the used control doesn't allow that. It's on my wish list for a later version, though.

Providing the functionality to hide a column temporary like in Microsoft Excel would make more sense imho.

[djk]

Both solutions would be great. Independently define columns without name and extension and additionaly to be able to hide/unhide the defined columns.

Dreaming so much it would be also nice to move columns (change their order) directly in panels.

And about flexibility: eg. if_exist [ title] then show [artist"-"[album"-"][title] else show [filename].

Right, that would be nice, although this could be done by the content plugin itself (of course you won't have that much flexibility like that).

Another thing:
Related to the width of name and extension columns, you can make them very small indeed, but if you make them too small, name & ext become fully visible and superpose on the next column (rather messyly). Isn't this a bug?

BTW, I used a custom view with Size right-aligned, otherwise it's even more messy.
