Extra Columns Types
Posted: 19 May 2019 13:37
Is it possible to add a few Display-Types for the Extra Columns, so that Extra-Columns can show the contained Data in the same manner as Custom-Columns can do via Format.
Whats actually missing is:
Showing data directly from Tag-DB is so much faster than running a heavy script for a list of over a thousand items.
Instead of heaving Raw-Byte-Count in Extra-Column displayed formatted (e.g. as "xx,xx MB"), I need to do a workaround of adding a scripted custom-column (
I also think that having text right-aligned in extra columns should be possible without such a workaround.
I can live with that workaround for now, but it involves scripting. For performance-reasons I want to have as few as possible scripted columns.
Another point for having this directly and not with the workaround is that cache-entries for new items are created by a scripted column, and the scripted-columns returning the ex-tag-content is processed before the cache-update resulting in empty cells on the first load.

- Age

return tagitems('ex11',,<cc_item>);) and use the Format "Bytes" here.I also think that having text right-aligned in extra columns should be possible without such a workaround.
