OK, done. From my POV Extra Tags is finished. You can now tell me how you like it. :)

I'm messing about with the "Rating" column, and I was hoping to right click the column cell, where I could select a 1-5 star rating, but at the moment it's just a "-", as per screenshot below.

Could the right click menu display;

i think this feature is one of those "i didn't think i need it till get it!" :) time for new "filter button" probably.
though i didn't get how Rating works =how to set/edit it?
one more thing: as i saw cmparison things work, how about adding colour abilities like in Colour Filters?

When I change a column type, the right click menu remains the previous one.
Also when I change the type back to text, the right justification should change back to left justification, not only after restart.
In addition, the justification should be changeable. For example the yesno box looks not so good right justified.

Confirmed.

I like them better right justified.

justification should be changeable: in a later stage.

About justification: if I come back to the tab with Extra tag from a Search Result tab, the justification will be lost. (reset to left justification in case of number, checkbox)

I hope you didn't forget this:

Code: Select all

Extra Tags: Removed the type "Pop-up and Text". On demand this type of
      column can later be achieved by an additional option in "Customize Extra
      Column...".
I have a Done column with predefined percentages, and I am not able to restore the empty value. (there is no remove data)

I see. Probably I should always offer a "Remove Data" command.

PS: And "Copy Data".

:?: will this "column types" be later added to Find interface, for easier search?
for the moment i like the idea to go through whole drive and mark with YesNo Column all needeв files, so to later get them in one list via search. :kidding:

You are not closely following the change log! :naughty: :wink: Has been aded already some days ago...

Code: Select all

    > Tip: In a YesNo column the Yes (Checked) value is internally "1", and this 
      value is used in the matching. So to find all items with a Yes in the 
      second Extra Tag column (assuming this column is defined as a YesNo 
      column) you do this:
        ex2:1
      For No (Unchecked) you do this:
        ex2:!1
      Note that internally there are three states:
        1 = Set to Yes.
        0 = Set to No.
        (empty) = Not yet set.
      You can list all item in the "Not yet set" state by doing this:
        ex2:""

Ah, sorry. No, that's not planned at the moment, not in this way. In phase 2 I might add something to the column headers right-click menu: "Find Files by this Tag..." or so.
