Instant Color Filter for "any other file"

Post by LittleBiG »

Can somebody help me how to construct an instant color filter: I would like to color picture files in a particular color, and any other files in an other color. I didn't manage to compose the "any other file" part.

Have you tried: Configuration | Color Filters?

I'd rather requested an expression like this:
"MyColors" *.jpg;*.png>804000,FFFFAA|| ...

It works at my place when the last entry of color filter definitions - the one for "other" - is

Code: Select all

I have managed to do now, there is a little problem in instant color filter working. If you change an Instant Color Filter definition, you have to choose that explicitly from the menu. It is not enough to click on the main ICF button again, to switch the filter on, because it will use the old definition instead of the modified one.

Code: Select all

"My Images" *.jpg>FFFFFF,000000||dir:*>FFFFFF,000000||*>000000,000000
Thanks, Borut!

Actually I haven't used ICF before your mention.
Actually it's quite useful.
Thanks for sharing the tip. :appl:

Whatever, this thread reminded me that inversion was not yet support by color filters. So I added it (next beta):

Code: Select all

    + Color Filters: Now the prefixed inversion operator "!" is 
      supported just like in Visual Filters.
      Examples:
        !a*      //items not beginning with a
        !a*;b*   //items not beginning with a or b
      Examples for an Instant Color Filter:
        "Not Common Image Files" !*.gif;*.jpg;*.png>36530F,E6F786
