Recursive Color Filters

Post by DeeLight »

Would it be possible to add Recursive Color Filters?

For example, with icons, I can use /r and all sub-folders get the icon recursively... would it be possible for color filters as well?

Currently, for icons I have:

Code: Select all

*[[]*unsorted*[]]\ /r>Folders\Colored\33 Light Gray.ico
*[[]*sorted*[]]\ /r>Folders\Colored\14 Green.ico
Would love to be able to do the same with Color Filters

I was doing some searching, and found this Color Filters by Tags feature added in 15.80:

If something similar could be added for icons (Color Filters by Icons), it would kind of solve my request...

I could just have a color filter like this:

Code: Select all

icon:Folders\Colored\14 Green.ico>FFFFFF,00AA00
Pretty sure a better solution exists, but this one seems easy to implement...

Sorry, I don't understand the use of it. :|

For the same reason someone might want icons recursively...

So, for example, instead of:

Code: Select all

dir:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Something like:

Code: Select all

dir /r:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir /r:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Would produce something like:

Ok, I think consistency demands to do it. :)

Well, the description in the first release notes was wrong (corrected today). It should work the way you described it above:

Code: Select all

dir /r:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir /r:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Does it?

Reviving this old post to request a minor addition to the recursive feature.

Could if be possible to set a limit of how deep it goes?

Using the old example:

Code: Select all

dir /r=2:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir /r=2:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Would keep the color filters 2 levels deep in the folder structure. If it's doable, same idea for icons:

Code: Select all

*[[]*unsorted*[]]\ /r=2>Folders\Colored\33 Light Gray.ico
*[[]*sorted*[]]\ /r=2>Folders\Colored\14 Green.ico
I use the recursive feature for both color filter and icons a lot, but sometimes (often), it's useless after a few levels of recursiveness.
