13.80.0134 (latest beta), assuming you already have a 'new column':

right click the new column header, pick the last entry, 'configure custom columns...';

select an '(undefined)' item in the list, click the 'edit' button;

on 'type', select 'script' - pay attention to the 'item filter' and 'item type' options, defining target extensions for the former;

place your script as described in http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11321 , which contains some working sample scripts.
-please not the importance of 'return', there!

I guess that's all.

The script will be executed on rebuild of list (i.e. on tab or folder change) for each item!!
Scripts in custom columns are meant to generate a result that should be displayed in the column.
For this to be made possible there is special scripting command/keyword "return", as also shown in SkyFrontier's link.
Scripts with file operations probably make no sense in this context.
