Color specific folders or files in a given location

Hi.

I wonder if there's an efficient way to colorize a specific folder o file(s) in a given location.
eg. if a folder's contents is (and is already colored by the 'Define colors by file type' option, set a specific color for a given subfolder name to help spot it from the list:

[Legal]
[Clients]
[Expenses]
[Taxes]
[HHRR]
[Invoices]
[PO]
[Quotes]
[Finance]

Hope you get the idea.

An alternative I have come into is to 'Color by file type' using a content plugin or file name mask. It may be resource consuming for a single folder in a single location.

Perhaps [SUGGESTION] having a way to specify colors in the descript.ion file for a file/folder. This way it would only apply to that file and parsing would be faster?
Also, if the file/folder is renamed (in TCmd), the file/folder would retain its defined color (by means of keeping its description in the descript.ion file)

eg. (descript.ion contents):

Code: Select all

Clients  [green]Client data
Expenses  Expenses reports
Invoices  [red]Issued invoices
