Custom column - Ability to display icon(s)

Post by highend »

It would be cool if custom columns would be able to display icons as well.
Type: Script
Format: Icon

And if the script ends with a return "<full path to .ico file>";
the icon is shown, otherwise it's still empty.

XY could serve e.g. as a visual tool (for files & folders), e.g. for a resource planner, todo list, etc.
It would enhance it with workflow capabilities (which use a graphic state
to show the progress of a task)...

+1
It's cool to have tags and labels to classify items, but general support for icons (and a small subset of image types, like png, jpg, bmp, which are often found among icon sets) would allow for a whole new depth in file management, plenty of freedom.

Little preview (of course, you can have as many icon columns as you want; you could probably program a slot machine in the file list).

If only we could put a wall around each XYplorer user protecting them from those imperialist non-german based tech companies... :roll:

BUT AT LEAST WE CAN MONITOR THE FORUMS IN SEARCH FOR TRAITORS! :twisted:
This is step one in order to make file management a great experience again... :mrgreen:

Superb! (Wonder how these icons scale with {font size/list row height} ...)

They don't scale. Vertical positioning needs some refinement... next beta...

A few glitches:
If "Item type" is set to "Files", icons for folders are shown, too
If "Item type" is set to "Folders", folder icons are shown for files oO
