CFI Icon for all folders that contain tagged items (recursively).

Post by eil »

Similar to recent CFI feature to set icon for folder if it has no files(only empty folders), i'd wish to propose another switch: to set icon for folder if it has tagged/labelled/commented items anywhere deep inside.
This would allow to always see if some folder in view may contain valuable items somewhere deep inside. Additionally List-wise it will be kinda like a tree-path-tracing, allowing to go deep inside some folders structures and always see from a glimpse which folders contain "more valuable data" to dive further.

Smth like this (pt=prop tag):

Code: Select all

*\ /pt=*><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGreen.ico //matches folders containing items with any tags/labels/comments
*\ /pt=special><xypath>\Special_Folder.ico //matches folders containing items with specific tag "special"
*\ /pt=special|work><xypath>\Special_Folder.ico //matches folders containing items with specific tags "special" AND "work"
If this feature be considered interesting enough, i'd propose to add 3 switches: pt, pl, pc = for tags, labels, comments respectfully.
Example:

Code: Select all

*\ /pl=red><xypath>\Hot_Folder.ico //matches folders containing items with "red" label
*\ /pc=*check later*><xypath>\Planned_Folder.ico //matches folders containing items with "check later" in comments

Yes, good idea! :tup: I have to see how fast I can make it, but I'm optimistic.

That would be a different story, much slower. So for now I will just go for the /t (branch is tagged or contains tagged items) switch.

Thank you for considering.
But there seems to be some problem: new icon is absent in beta-pack 26.50.0003, yet the feature doesn't seem to work. At least i expected that when i open some drive it will mark all top tier folders that have tagged items anywhere in subs, but it doesn't.
EDIT: My bad, i simply downloaded new version, enabled the tagged-folder icon and saw nothing = cause ofcorse, fresh new version doesn't have any tags, dah.
BTW it's funny how this switches-feature, if name be given, basically has same abbreviation: Conditional Folder Icons.
