Indicate "isFavorite"

Wouldn't it be nice if Favorites (files and folders) were easily recognizeable when looking at the listing of a folder?
I think so! Perhaps there could be a special color combination for favorite items in lists or maybe their names could be prefixed with a certain (unicode) symbol like "★" etc. Or maybe the names could use certain typography....

I don't know about files, but all my favorite folders are displayed in bold when appearing in the list tree. Are you not seeing that?
EDIT: I meant to say favorite entries are bold in the TREE, not the list.

Interesting - I don't see that.
I did search settings for "Fav" - but nothing came up that would have this effect - so I wonder why I'm not seeing that...

I apologize. Favorite entries are bold in the TREE, not the list.

Ah, ok - that explains it. I don't use the tree (I try to avoid using the mouse).

I also don't see my favorite folders bold in the tree
I have already set "Mark Favorites (bold)" under Tools / Customize Tree

Not planned. Nuff colors in the list.

@MBaas the easiest solution for you would be to either make colour filter or additional colour-tag, and manually mark all Favourites with that. You can even make a scripted button to do same marking in future, right before adding to Favourites.

That's a neat idea, thanks! Will experiment...

That's a really good idea. What pattern would be used for the filter?

Depending what user needs, the criteria can be say file/folder has tags, or some common part in names/paths, etc.

Thanks, I was hoping there would be some way to refer to Favourites specifically which would be much easier.

There is a better way! (at least IMHO)
You'll need a label "Favorite" and then you can do this:
Code: Select all
// get all items with Favorite tag
$lst = quicksearch("label:Favorite", "*",<crlf>);
// remove all Favorite labels
tag("Favorite",$lst,0,2);
$favs = favs("d","",<crlf>);
$favs = favs("f","",<crlf>);
foreach($f,$favs,<crlf>) {
if (($f==" ")||($f=="-")){continue;}
$f = regexreplace($f,'"[^"]*"\s*',"");
// tag zuweisen
tag("Favorite",$f,0,0);
}
Needs to be run whenever you change favs. (WIBNI we had a
CEA for that?)

@MBaas
Did you (eventually) mean:
Code: Select all
$favs = favs() . <crlf> . favs("f");
foreach($f,$favs,<crlf>,"e") {
?
Otherwise you'll only process the file favorites...
