[SOLVED] Attributes column, tweak to suppress "N"

Post by prino »

Would it be possible to add a tweak that replaces the 'N' pseudo attribute with a "-". It would make it much easier to spot real attributes.

Weird, but I don't see this attribute here anywhere. :? Why?

BTW, why not change this old-school, for example, ---D------I---- to a less space-eating DI?

No "N"?

So what's all those "N"s in the attached?

N stands for Normal. So your files are normal. :)

OK, I see it now. It comes up when all other attributes are removed:

Code: Select all

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL: A file that does not have other attributes set. This attribute is valid only when used alone.
So it kind of makes sense. Explorer shows it as well.

But I can see why to suppress it. It's a totally pointless attribute. :)

Comparing yourself to an inferior product makes no sense!

Exactly, and when you've got a lot of files with lots of different attributes (like in folder view), showing nothing makes them very much stand out!
