Highlight plugin?

[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.

Nice, it should be possible to gray out completed e-books that I've finished reading (instead of moving or renaming them) based on descript.ion file.

You can make a button which adds a comment to the current file or selection.
I used Ok as definition, but you can choose any text.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
OPENATTRIBUTES=Comment-Ok_for_Files&Folders

wcmicon2.dll,39
Add TC Comment Ok


-1

There is of course also a button to remove all comments.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
OPENATTRIBUTES=Comment-DEL_for_Files&Folders

wcmicon2.dll,40
Delete TC Comments

0

The definitions of Comment-DEL_for_Files&Folders and Comment-DEL_for_Files&Folders
are in the attrplugin section of wincmd.ini

[attrplugin]
Comment-OK_for_Files&Folders=tc.comment := ok
Comment-DEL_for_Files&Folders=tc.comment := ""

Side to what @Horst.Epp suggested, you can create a small ebook bar with some specific predefined comment based on reading progress like Read_onProgress, Read_finished, ... and use colors to highlight or almost hide (by text color). You can use the bar as a menu entry
You can completely hide files if you use the igore list copying the full name in the tcIgnore.txt

Unbelievable how highly customizable Total Commander is – and thank you once again for one of your great buttons!
Make me this button.

Code: Select all

Comment-TC_for_Files&Folders=tc.comment := "In TC eingebunden (nicht loeschen)"
Comment-DEL_for_Files&Folders=tc.comment := ""
