TOP Notch!

Especially when im emailing and archiving backups of Database’s with Spreadsheets and txt files in sub folder groupings…

To be able to visually see the difference and not having to check the words for formats is a top idea.

And it is a Fact that the human brain recognises Images and Colours significantly faster than words and numbers.

maybe when alpha/beta is out you guys can send in your suggestions for default colors

Anything but pink & green. :D

I actually think - same as Luxor - this should be turned on by default (to show that it is possible) otherwise most users wouldn’t even know about it.

Of course, turning off or changing should be as simple as possible - maybe even described in release notes.

bump :-)

And Help, of course :rolleyes:

Do we need to come up with a name for this feature?

I also don’t like “Base, Darker1” etc but can’t think of better names at the moment :confused:

Color coded file list :)

Did you notice how to turn it off? I dont think it can be more obvious… But still some people might not be able to find it quick enough? :-)

Finding it yourself and having it described are different requirements ;-P

I did :) bottom left corner of a ribbon interface look like a paint can and brush with a “user colour coded filelist” as text popup when curser goes over it.

You mean the big one with always active highlight?
Yeah, was waiting for Guido to “bug” it.
He loves that stuff :D

Still playing with the formats, to be honest its great but doesnt work the way i imagined it to.

For example I cant easily say all:
“xls”, “csv”, “txt” is Yellow
“Mpeg”, Jpeg" is Blue
“SAP, MDB, DDB” is red.

But again… im still playing around.

One area i am trying to change is if a file is “csv” is doesnt class it as text on my system i would prefer it as a spreadsheet colour.

I know csv’s are text formatted but as i deal with csv’s every day and associate them with spreadsheets or database’s i would like the ability to choose.

I’ve just played with the presets, nothing major.

Ow it would also be good if I could Apply a colour to Archive’s as currently it’s set as text in colour?

It might just be that i dont understand the formating and settings… :)
