Which colors, labels / color (or instant color) filters?
As well how do you colorize shared network folders for a networked computer ?
E.g. for a color filter:
Code: Select all
dir:\\<your netbios server name>\folder\*somefolder
Note the "*" in this definition! Without it "*" would be added automatically and then
all subfolders beyond somefolder would be colored as well^^

Instant Color Filters. The goal is simple toggle selected files with two different colors, quickly.
Code: Select all
dir:\\<your netbios server name>\folder\*somefolder
Code: Select all
dir:\\<NetworkDriveName>\<sharedFolder>*
?

I wouldn't do that with instant colorfilters, at least not for
selected items (they are not bound to a specific folder / item type)
A version that uses labels:
Code: Select all
$label1 = 1; // Red
$label2 = 4; // Green
$label1List = "";
$items = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "|");
$tags = tagitems(, , , 1);
while ($i++ < gettoken($items, "count", "|")) {
if (gettoken($tags, $i, "|") == $label1) { $label1List = $label1List . gettoken($items, $i, "|") . "|"; }
}
if ($label1List) { tagitems(, $label2, $label1List); }
$label2List = formatlist($items, "F", , "!$label1List");
if ($label2List) { tagitems(, $label1, $label2List); }
Why does that look so complicated? Because it's much faster to use tagitems on a bunch of files only once instead
for each and every single file...

The above code works on single files as well ?
I placed the code in a button that is to be executed by the right mouse; nothing happens ?

I created a button in the toolbar which should work when right clicking on a file, as the script was placed within the OnRightClick for the button; instead windows default context menu appears ?

A button's script should be fired when you click on a file in the list pane?
You have to right-click the button to fire the script^^

I was able to label the file color to red; although I wasn't able to toggle between red, green and off when right clicking on the button to launch the script per file ?

That was never a requirement^^

case $label2:

case default:
$labels = $labels . gettoken($items, $i, "|") . "|";
}
}
if ($labels) { tagitems(, $label1, $labels); }
if ($labels1) { tagitems(, $label2, $labels1); }
if ($labels2) { tagitems(, "", $labels2); }
