I like Age Spots - because that is what they are. Ask any person you grab off the street.

Time dots - what time, any time and what is the time ??? Another state of confusion.

Space - my space, your space or outer space etc.
Granted that from time to time new words are needed - hopefully clarity and simplicity is the goal.
It can be tough to figure out!

UPGRADERS: This means you will lose your customizations on upgrading!
This is for Beta ver 106.
Does this mean ALL? <----------------------------------------------------------- OR JUST FOR THIS SUBJECT?

v18.10.0106 - 2017-07-23 14:21
* Age Circles: Renamed INI-key "AgeCircleClasses3" to "AgeGraphicClasses".
> UPGRADERS: This means you will lose your customizations on upgrading!
Brand-new feature, work in progress, beta version...
Tip: Store it in some text file before you upgrade.
* Age Circles: Renamed "Show Age Graphics in Modified Column" to "Show Age
Graphics in Date Column". Also renamed the corresponding INI key from
AgeCirclesAtModified to AgeGraphicsAtDate.
Reason: Leaves more space for future developments.
* Age Circles: Added factory default class "Yesterday" (pink). Important age
category IMO.
* Age Circles: Replaced factory default "Last Year Or Older" by two classe
"Last Year" and "Even Older". The last one has no graphics at all.

No, just the age stuff. I'll change the wording...

I trust this 'age and size circles' does not change file sizes etc. as tags does?

THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR MY SETUP since I use a duplicate file finder that
uses exact matches, including file size - this is regardless of of names.

I cannot reproduce that. Under which circumstances does tags change the file size of the files being tagged? Or did I misunderstand?

It's just a graphic representation of the file date. Nothing is added anywhere.

BTW, also tags do not change file size (apart from the tags DB itself).

You are correct about tags.

From my year old test notes - I rejected the use of Tags because any file action by a non-XY program removes the tag.
If we used tags then it must 100% reliable in our setup.
