Highlight plugin?

Post by *Geiri »

Sorry if this is not the place to ask if not, Please move

I am wondering if there is a Highlight plugin that allows you to highlight a line. Then keep on working
Kind of how the Spotify web player works.

If you mean highlighting a line in TC's file lists, then no, that's not possible [1]. If you mean highlighting a line within a file shown in Lister, then that's possible and some Lister plugins have such functionality.

[1] One thing to add is that TC allows to highlight files matching custom criteria in different colors. But judging from your post, that's not what you want I guess.

Highlighting a line in file lists can be done by coloring the name, e.g. by defining a color for a specific comment:
1. Chose Configuration - Options - Color
2. Click on "Define colors by file type"
3. Click on "Add"
4. Click on "Define..."
5. Open the "Plugins" tab
6. Open the combo-box "Properties" and choose "Comment"
7. OP should be "contains"
8. Value can be whatever you want, e.g. high
9. Click "OK"
10. Enter a name, e.g. "High-ranked"
11. Click "OK"
12. Choose "High-ranked" from the list
13. Click OK
14. Choose a color
15. Click OK

You can repeat that with other words. Then you can press Ctrl+Z on a file or folder to enter a comment for it, e.g. High. Total Commander will then show the file name in the color chosen above.
