As I learned I can setup color filters for certain criteria.
One of the default color filters is to colorize a folder when its is currently empty.
Unfortunately if this folders contains one or more (nested) empty subfolder(s) it is not seen as empty.
Is there a way to specify a filter: "is empty or contains only (nested) empty folders"?

Re: How to setup Color filter for empty directory TREE (=only empty folders) ?
This is very close to my issue, I wonder if I'm allowed to ask here
I can't make the color filter for empty folders ignore the desktop.ini and the .ico file inside the folder (they are hidden with a system attr)

Code: Select all
B:prop:#contains.desktop.ini:1 AND B:prop:#contains.*.ico:1 AND B:prop:#itemcount:2;B:prop:#empty:2

Re: How to setup Color filter for empty directory TREE (=only empty folders) ?
The question from ewd24 is useful and the answer seems to work.
However the solution looks (too) complicated.
Why not introduce a new property "visiblyempty" which sees a folder as empty if it contain NO visible files at all?
would be much shorter, more understandable and covers all other hidden stuff.

And if someone doesn't want to hide the belonging .ico file in the folder (because he wants to see them), that filter wouldn't work...

@highend:
Well in this case the user can revert to the detailed criteria specification you showed before.
In all other cases (approx. 95%) the new property is shorter and will be more user friendly
