From another topic:

Install the plugin, restart TC, (read the plugin readme.htm)

Right click on the column header->configure custom column

Add New

Add a column and choose the information you want to appear (you can have more than one field in a column)...repeat this step....

Adjust column width and alignment

Validate

You can also configure it via Configuration>Custom columns window.

To use it in panels just press Shift_F1.

After installing you can use it also during searching and multi-renaming. You can for axample search .jpg files with the width=1600.

You can also use the custom fields generated by the content plug-in in your thumbnails. In addition you
can specify per-filetype tooltips with the custom fields of your preference.

And of course read the help file. But you will only understand everything better of you play around. No
amount of text can top that!

Yes, you must see it. It's really worth of it. It's a big step forward.

Yes, like I said before v6.50 to v6.03 is what XML is to HTML because of the invention of content plug-ins.

We can now treat files based on their contents and not just as static entities stored on media!

Good comparison (XML2HTML)
BTW: Now I know why to use MS Office document properties (Author, title, etc)

Hm, I think I did miss this one. Where exactly can I customize the Tooltips?
Thanks,

Thanks, I also haven't noticed it yet. Nice feature.

Too long history.txt file, too many new plugins, too little time to check everything at once.

Thank y'all for your hints, think I sometimes should take a closer look before asking...

BTW, this feature is great!
