Empty folder that changes color

[Alexisback]

Hello everyone,

what I would like to achieve and this
if the folder contains the text x265 it must turn green, and so far I have succeeded

but if the folder contains the text x265 and is empty it must not be colored green but light gray

I tried but without succes

If you install the DirSizeCalc plugin ( https://totalcmd.net/plugring/dirsizecalc.html ) then these settings in wincmd.ini should do it:

Code: Select all

[Searches]
x265_SearchFor=x265
x265_SearchIn=
x265_SearchText=
x265_SearchFlags=0|002002010021|||||||||0000|||
x265_plugin=dirsizecalc.Empty = Yes

[Colors]
ColorFilter1=>x265
ColorFilter1Color=12632256
ColorFilter2=x265
ColorFilter2Color=51712

Remember to restart TC after making changes to wincmd.ini


You can also use the plugin FileX ( https://totalcmd.net/plugring/FileX.html ) it can also detect empty dirs (and it is much slimmer than DirSizeCalc):

Code: Select all

[Searches]
x265_SearchFor=x265
x265_SearchIn=
x265_SearchText=
x265_SearchFlags=0|002002010021|||||||||0000|||
x265_plugin=filex.EmptyDir = 1

Thank you so much petermad
works great with DirSizeCalc

something does not work,

1) if it is empty and has the name x265 it is colored light gray

2) if the folder has content and only the name x265 is colored green

Image: https://www.upload.ee/image/13191810/sshot-2.png

3) but if I add some content and other text to x265 it returns to default color

example:
X265 with content and other text in the title

Can you validate your x265 search expression to see if it match all 3 folder ?
if not you could change to *x265* and save your search expression again !

Try and change

Code: Select all

x265_SearchFor=x265
ColorFilter2=x265

to

Code: Select all

x265_SearchFor=x265.
ColorFilter2=x265.

with a period after x265.

But if you also want to be sure that no files with the name x265 are colored, then the whole thing should be changed to:

Code: Select all

[Searches]
x265notempty_SearchFor=x265.
x265notempty_SearchIn=
x265notempty_SearchText=
x265notempty_SearchFlags=0|002002010021||||||||22221|0000|||
x265empty_SearchFor=x265.
x265empty_SearchIn=
x265empty_SearchText=
x265empty_SearchFlags=0|002002010021||||||||22221|0000|||
x265empty_plugin=dirsizecalc.Empty = Yes

maybe I explained myself wrong

point 3 with the title x265 in the folder should be colored green,

Code: Select all

[Searches]
x265_SearchFor=x265.
x265_SearchIn=
x265_SearchText=
x265_SearchFlags=0|002002010021|||||||||0000|||
x265_plugin=dirsizecalc.Empty = Yes

Code: Select all

[Colors]
ColorFilter1=>x265
ColorFilter1Color=12632256
ColorFilter2=x265.
ColorFilter2Color=51712

OK - I think I got your demands backwards - try this in stead:

Code: Select all

[Searches]
x265notempty_SearchFor=x265
x265notempty_SearchIn=
x265notempty_SearchText=
x265notempty_SearchFlags=0|002002010021||||||||22221|0000|||
x265empty_SearchFor=x265
x265empty_SearchIn=
x265empty_SearchText=
x265empty_SearchFlags=0|002002010021||||||||22221|0000|||
x265empty_plugin=dirsizecalc.Empty = Yes

[Colors]
ColorFilter1=>x265empty
ColorFilter1Color=12632256
ColorFilter2=>x265notempty
ColorFilter2Color=51712

This should use green if a folder name contains x265 and the folder is empty, and grey if a folder name contains x265 and the folder is not empty

[Alexisback]

perfect, it works
now it is displayed as I wanted

Thank you very much petermad

[Alexisback]

I would like to make a small change,
the folder should turn green only if there is a video with .mp4 or mkv extension and the word x265 in the title
otherwise it should be light gray
it's possible?

I cannot think of a way to do that - sorry
