A simple variant:
Code: Select all
$tags = tagitems("tag", , <cc_item>);
$ext = gpc(<cc_item>, "ext");
$match = regexmatches($tags, "(0|1)\.(00|25|50|75)");
switch ($match) {
case "0.25": $icon = "0.25 [$ext].ico"; break;
case "0.50": $icon = "0.50 [$ext].ico"; break;
case "0.75": $icon = "0.75 [$ext].ico"; break;
case "1.00": $icon = "1.00 [$ext].ico"; break;
default: $icon = "";
}
return $icon;
Allows to tag items with 0.00 / 0.25 / ... (and I know with > 1.00 as well)
resulting in different "progress states" per extension type. Could
be enhanced by using generic file types (video, audio, text, etc.)...

You can't 'cause there is none.
as a work around this might be a good case for an ahk script using ahk's ImageSearch command (to determine if the mouse is over the icon)

Next beta adds to the coolness:
Code: Select all
+ Extra Tags: Added type "Icon". The syntax is identical to that in Custom
Columns of Format "Icon".
So now you can tag particular files with particular icons, all stored in
the tags database (tag.dat). A cool new way to mark files.

Does icon size affect loading speed? If yes, which size is optimal?

You mean the file size? Minimally. Neglectable.
Scripted custom columns are rather slow, of course, that's the price you pay for all the wonders.

Indeed, but considering all the ways to trigger scripts I'm not willing to expend the effort in using AHK to add another one.
Ah well.. onClick just gets added to my long list of dreams...

Could you create a transparent (vector) graphic that could be used as an overlay for normal icons to show "some state",
so it's easily visible if I read 1/4 of an ebook or heard only half a .mp3 song, etc?

To give a quick and dirty usage example here is a column that shows an icon for all pics that were made with a Nikon. The script for this column is a simple 4-liner. Works for me.
Code: Select all
$camera = property("#image.cameramodel", <cc_item>);
if (strpos($camera, "Nikon") != -1) {
return "Nikon.ico";
}

As quantity/progress indicators? Yes.
Or as circles with parameterized diameter, stroke and fill color, stroke width, stroke style? Yes.

Do you have to ask?
Absolutely!
What about arcs?

The latter.

No arcs in the store at the moment, just full circles.

Added an offset parameter for even more psychedelic liberty:
