Looking for plugin (marking seen files)

[Bladito]

Hi, anybody knows of a plugin that would allow me to mark files (automatically or manually)?

What I need is to know which file I already opened. For example I have 100 documents in a directory and I want to know which file I've already opened/seen. Filename could have a different color/icon or just some character prefix like *.

Does anything like this exist? Thanks in advance.

"Define Colors by file type" also allows you to color any file(s) or dirs independent of its type.
I use it for a bookmark function which is what you search for.
See the following thread for help

Hi and welcome 2Bladito

What I need is to know which file I already opened.

For example you can use file comments:
- Ctrl+Z on a file
- Add your comment
- F2 to save
- Ctrl+Z on that file to read the comment
- - - Or use menu "Show > Comments".
- - - Test that now in the TC folder...


More details over there >> https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=52425 (((search for "File comments / descript.ion")))

You can also utilize that once written comments for to coloring the file name (with the method Horst mentioned above),
best use than a fix keyword as part of the comments for to search for that.



HTH?

Please note: this thread will be moved to (English) sub forum later on.

Awesome! I tried the method Horst mentioned and it works exactly as I need it! Thanks a lot guys.

Two questions though.
1. Is it normal, that when I click the button it opens the "change attribute" window and closes it really fast? It flashes in a few milliseconds. Was hoping this would be done in the background. I even checked the option "run minimized" on a button, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

2. Can I invoke the button with a hotkey?

I have filed a request regarding this here: viewtopic.php?t=75848

2. Can I invoke the button with a hotkey?

Open your usercmd.ini file (placed the same location as your wincmd.ini file - if you don't have a usercmd.ini just make it with Notepad) and add someting like this:

Code: Select all

[em_colorfile]
cmd=OPENATTRIBUTES =ColorOrange

And then assign the command em_colorfile to a hotkey via the Misc. section in the Configuration dialog.

Thank you Peter, works like a charm!
