add visual tips for comments

Post by *dindog »

I don't use comments very often, but when I did, I can't find an option to emphasize files/folder which have comment. It's even so when a folder you didn't access for some time. One have to move cursor on an file/folder, wait for the pop-up comment show up or not in order to find out is there a comment for the corresponse file/folder. If only there is an icon that indicate "this file has comment!"...

TC file comments (Ctrl + Z) for file/folders | Colors

Post by *tuska »

You can color files/folders with TC file comments (Ctrl + Z) as follows:

- Configuration - Options - color
- Define colors by file type... - Add... Files_Folders-with-TC-comments
- Define - change to the "Plugins" tab - tick the box: "Search in plugins:" - Combine with: AND (all match)
- Plugin: tc - Property: comment - OP: != Value: leave this field blank! [option: click on button "Help"]
- click on Button "Save" ... Template name: Files_Folders-with-TC-comments - OK
- Button "OK" -> choose your desired color, e.g. hue: 220, saturation: 240, brightness: 60
- [red: 128, green: 0, blue: 64 -> automatically determined]
- Button "OK" (>Files_Folders-with-comments is shown in "Define colors by file type")
- OK, OK, FINISHED

From now on files/folders with file comments will be desposited with the selected color.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I did all as instructed, but TC does not work as required. My system is Windows 10 64-bit TC 9.51 32-bit. After having set the tc plugin I set the required color from the palette displayed and in the settings menu the sample text is displayed in the required color. However, the list of files in folders do not show commented file titles in the required color. Your help will be appreciated.
Best regards, Marek
