ad hoc color filters

[nerdweed]

Don,
I trust these two ICF can be helpful in non details mode.

1. Color Commented
2. Color Tagged
0. Color with any XY tags (Comment + Tagged + Labelled).

Did I say two, I count from 0 at times

A touch too advanced for factory default IMO.

Wow... UberCool! (If I may say so!)
Until now, I was using a dedicated Label to identify Tagged or Commented files... Your remark just made me realized this can be done with Color Filters (Instant or not).
Geez! I just won a free Label Slot!!!

Code: Select all

colorfilter("prop:#comment:?*");
colorfilter("prop:#tags:?*");
colorfilter("prop:#tags:?*||prop:#comment:?*");

@Don
Not a big deal, but either I missed a step, or there's been an undocumented change with Color Filters:

• I tried mixing a top filter with Text color only, with an underneath filter with BG color only, but the top one wasn't "combined with a later filter". Only the top was used, as if "no BG" was the rule:
1=+ageM: <= 24 h>D50000,
2=+prop:#tags:?*; prop:#comment:?*|>,FCFC8D

• Whereas, placing the BG filter on top with //m| worked:
1=+prop:#tags:?*; prop:#comment:?*//m|>,FCFC8D
2=+ageM: <= 24 h>D50000,

So it's definitely not an issue since it's working this latter way. But I was just wondering if I did something wrong with the first try...

I just read this funny decline of the Australian Empire page, and I must say...
These guys' behavior is mesmerizing! Oh, sorry, I meant, these guys' behaviour is mesmerising!
No offense —your question was valid!—, just kiddin' cause I'm still amazed by their childish attempt at some awkward advertising...

You missed this in the change log from v12.90.0002 - 2013-09-13 15:56:

Code: Select all

    * Color Filters: Modified the following addition from v9.70.0038 -
      2010-11-19 20:36:
        Configuration | Color Filters: Now, in Details mode, the first 
        matching filter *with* backcolor (if any) is displayed combined
        with the first matching filter *without* backcolor (if any).
      Now, the filter *with* backcolor must be the first match. If a 
      filter *without* backcolor is the first match, then no further 
      match *with* backcolor is looked for.
      Reason: Otherwise you get confusingly different colors in Tree and 
      List, e.g. for folders with HIDDEN and SYSTEM atribute and the 
      following filters in this order (shown in List Management syntax 
      to see the colors definitions):
        +attr:h>B6B6B6,
        +attr:system>FF0080,FFFF00

I thought americans would stick to the bible where sunday is the 7th day IIRC.

Well, we still almost always consider Monday as being the start of the week but doesn't show that way on our calendars...weird? Maybe!

In the meantime I checked that and I was wrong: apparently "Sabbath" (=Saturday) was the 7th day. Well, who cares now that we have the option in config.

Thanks for clarifying. Indeed I had (dis)missed this, didn't really understood the point. In my example above, after finding out about Color Filters for tags/comments, I had only looked in the help file.

So if I understand correctly, the only way to combine Color Filters now, is to put the "Background" one on top of the other(s) with the "//m|" suffix?
Please correct me if I'm wrong (but no need to lose your time answering if that's ok ).

Now that ICF does have a dedicated toolbar button, I'd remove the arrow from the old Color Filters button to avoid confusion. My opinion.

Needed a bit of meditation but I think you are right.

[nerdweed]

What I understood initially was that
1. The button for Color filters will toggle Color filters and Right Click context menu will have a toggle for Instant Color Filter
2. The button for ICF will toggle ICF and Right Click context menu will have a toggle for Color Filters.

1 is ok but 2 offers toggle for ICF on button as well as Right Click context menu. So the second option forgets that there are Color Filters.

Great to see the shaded colors.

Yeah! Our calendar always have Sunday being the first day but Monday is considered the first day. Well, we're weird in certain places (ahem... metrics and imperial units) . Anyway, it's great to have that option because in my mind at least, Sunday is the first day.

Also still trying to figure out whether the dropdown should be removed for the original Color Filter button. It's nice in a way because you can have one button that does two things. On the other hand, it might confuse some users.

EDIT: Maybe you should keep it. If you right click it, it still clearly a separate feature from Color Filters. It's like Visual Filters and Power Filters. The separate button for Instant Color Filters should still be kept of course since it's useful for those who does not need to turn on/off the Color Filters.

Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath (lit. seventh) and seventh day of their week. But..

Saturday at one time was the was the choice of many Christians as well, since most of the early believers were Jews who felt obligated to keep their traditional holy day on this seventh day of the Jewish week. But because Jesus was crucified on the sixth day of the Jewish week and, according to the Bible, rose from the dead on the first day of the next week -a Sunday- some early Christian leaders decided to shift their sabbath to Sunday, and to mark this day each week by a special service featuring the Eucharist.

p.58, The Calendar, David Ewing Duncan

Emperor Constantine later issued an edict making the change permanent.

Saturday is also the seventh day of the Muslim week, but their holy day is Friday. But, as the creation accounts of the Koran make no mention of God "resting", it is not a day of rest. So, Muslims can and do still work on Fridays.

As you can see, this has resulted in some confusion/variation over which days are regarded as the start and end of the week -a kind of Yehovah2K problem.
