Define color filter using saved search

[kevinchan]

I define colors by type: FileLocked, Only search text: E-SafeNet.

Code: Select all

......
ColorFilters=1
[searches]
FileLocked_SearchFor=
FileLocked_SearchIn=
FileLocked_SearchText=E-SafeNet
FileLocked_SearchFlags=0|002002000020|||||||||0000|||
......
[Colors]
ColorFilter1=>FileLocked
ColorFilter1Color=255
......

Then all file names are color-coded, but there are actually only two files (file02.docx, file03.doc) that contain "E-SafeNet" .
What is the problem?

Probably searching for text is ignored by coloring engine because it is too slow. But I couldn't find these restrictions in help.

I cannot make it work with SearchText

But it works with plugin, for example the filecontent plugin <http://totalcmd.net/plugring/filecontent.html>:

Code: Select all

FileLocked_SearchFor=
FileLocked_SearchIn=
FileLocked_SearchText=
FileLocked_SearchFlags=0|002002000020|||||||||0000|||
FileLocked_plugin=filecontent.Ansi contains E-SafeNet

Thank you. I also think it's because I ignored SearchText.

Thank you, but this plugin can not completely solve the problem, some files can not be color-coded.

The reason for this demand is that the company has deployed a set of encryption software to encrypt the newly created or modified files of the specified type (e.g. doc, docx, Java, etc.). The original files are not encrypted. When using TC, the color can be used to visually see which files are encrypted.

Find a plugin - firstByte, go straight to the first hexadecimal of the encrypted file. But it cannot be applied to a list of files in a Zip file.

Yes, FirstByte plugin can only help in regular folders, but you can't apply content plugins to files in archive or in a file system.

You should restrict the searched files via the "name" field, otherwise TC would have to look at the contents of every file, including large video and audo files...
