Colorize onnly last edited file

[bogordo]

Hi,

Is there an option to colorize (within Define colors) only the last edited file inside a folder? i ask because i tend to change names between savings (name_v1, name_v2, name_v2_mod, ...) and sometimes is difficult to view fast what's the last working file (i could sort by Write date...but not so visual/fast)

Was thinking would be amazing to say "ey, colorize only the last saved file inside this folder"

Not colorized but very helpful.
This button jumps to the newest file in current dir.
Ein passendes Icon nach dem einfügen in die Buttonbar selbst definieren.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cmd.exe
/k "for /f "usebackq delims=" %%f in (`dir /b /a-d /o-d`) do start "" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /O /S /L="%%~ff\:" & exit"
C:\Tools\Wincmd\Icons\Down-Blue.ico

You need the following for this:
1. Plugin Age 1.04
    Double click on file "wdx_age_1.04.zip" to install this plugin.
2. Saved search, e.g. Modified_within-last-3-minutes
    Plugin: age | Property: Changed | OP: < | Value: 3 | Minutes* --> adjustable!
3. Colour definition
    Configuration > Options... > Color > Define colors by file type... > Add... > click on "Modified_within-last-3-minutes", OK
    Choose a colour, e.g. blue > OK > OK > OK - FINISHED!

Refreshing a panel doesn't reset 'age' highlight colouring
I use a button with command: cm_GotoPreviousDir,cm_GotoNextDir,cm_RereadSource for this.

It is not exactly what you want, but also very helpful.

*EDIT: I'm sorry, I forgot to specify the parameter "Minutes".

Thank you, first method is working really nice with files (not dirs).

The plugin method is working, but the color i define is overwritten but another color filter by extension, even that the plugin color is at the top...

EDITED: my fault, plugin is working fine, i thought the "3" value were minutes but looking into the .ini i saw are seconds

Best regards,

If you don't need high time precision, you can use "Define colors by file type…" and define selection for files/dirs not older then 0 (zero) days. It works properly when put on the top of the color list.

Thanks Usher, nice option too!!

Here is what I use to mark files younger than 1 day and younger than 1 hour:

Code: Select all

[Searches]
Age < 1 hour_SearchFor=
Age < 1 hour_SearchIn=
Age < 1 hour_SearchText=
Age < 1 hour_SearchFlags=0|000002000020|||1|0|||||0000|
Age < 1 day_SearchFor=
Age < 1 day_SearchIn=
Age < 1 day_SearchText=
Age < 1 day_SearchFlags=0|000002000020|||1|1|||||0000|


[Colors]
ColorFilter1=>Age < 1 hour
ColorFilter1Color=16744576
ColorFilter1ColorDark=16744576,16744576
ColorFilter2=>Age < 1 day
ColorFilter2Color=16711808
ColorFilter2ColorDark=16744448,16711808

Thank you Peter, there you aren't using Age plugin, are you?

You forgot to put the "< 1 day" color right...?
(my coding language is terrible so not sure)

[petermad]

there you aren't using Age plugin, are you

Correct - no plugin - just the featrures in the "Advanced" tab of "Find Files"

You forgot to put the "< 1 day" color right...?

I don't think I forgot - that would be the: ColorFilter2Color=16711808

Note that such a coloring is valid also for files/folders dated in the future (that is, with age less than zero).
