Determine colors by file type in background

Post by *Hacker »

Hello Christian,
Would it be possible to determine the colors defined for specific file types in a separate thread, as it is done for instance with icons, or with WDX plugins working in background?

TIA
Roman
Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

The problem is that not all WDX plugins are thread-safe. TC currently only calls WDX plugins in the background if the plugin reports ft_delayed. So the answer is "yes, if the plugin supports the ft_delayed mechanism", then it could be done.

If this is the only reason you could just apply the custom columns implementation.
