Define colors by file type question

[jOOc]

Hello,

I have files like this:

File1.avi
File1.srt
File2.avi
File3.avi
File3.srt
File4.avi

I know how to get the *.avi files in another color and also how to hide *.srt, but I want to color the avi files in eg green, but only if the same file exists with extension .srt

Can this be done? I would have been nice.

Thx for a great application

Can't. In coloring definition you can't reference any other files. But it could be done with a custom .wdx plugin, shouldn't be hard with script.wdx

Hi,

I have extended my content plug-in "Misc". The new field "Sibling" allows to color all files which have a "sibling filename" with a certain extension.

To make it work you have to create a file called Misc.ini with the following content in the same directory where wincmd.ini is placed (locate wincmd.ini: Menu Help/About Total Commander).

Code: Select all

[Sibling]
Extension=srt

You can of course also change this to another extension if desired. All files with the same name but another extension will be colored if an appropriate definition has been made in "define colors by filetype". You have to click on the define button and then navigate to the plug-in tab. The rule to add is "misc.Sibling=Yes". Then save the configuration.

Can you add support for Misc.ini in Misc home directory?

Can you add support for Misc.ini in Misc home directory

Yes, please.

I have added support for a more tolerant ini file location handling:

Thank you.. can you explain a little more where to put the misc.ini file. I dont get it to work

Put it in the same directory as Misc.wdx OR in the directory where wincmd.ini is located, as written above...

[Lefteous]

It should work in all of the following cases:
- Same directory as wincmd.ini
- Directory "Misc" below directory where wincmd.ini is located
- Total Commander base directory
- Plugin directory

I got it to work now... Thank you

One suggestion (or two) for misc.wdx: Could you improve the plugin for accept more extensions?

Currently is necessary to copy the plugin misc to a directory with different name for work with more extensions.
For me it is useful for search files which don't have the checksum calculated (md5, sfv), too for tooltip, for show if a backup o subtitle exist. Subtitle=[=misc.sibling] Backup=[=misc2.sibling]

An option could be the key "Extension" separated by Semicolons. Example: Extension=srt;sfv;md5;bak;tmp;torrent;bla bla.

A second option or alternative: Add more fields in misc.lng to the key sibling. Example:
sibling1=sibling (bak)
sibling2=sibling (md5)
sibling3=bla bla

What do you think? Could be viable?

Sounds like a good idea.

Hello

I have problems to use (or understand the tool).

I have the misc.ini in the plugin-dir, content is:

Code: Select all

[Sibling]
Extension=lsp

In userdefined-columns I have [=misc.Sibling], anf the following files show thes results:

Code: Select all

0-PL.fas        No     
0-PL.LSP       No  

1                 No
1.txt            Yes 
2.lsp            No
2.txt            No

I thought that 2.lsp has a sibling "2.txt" and 0-pl.lsp and 0-pl.fas are siblings?
