I'd like to see a mechanism that maps pre-defined tags in filenames to be filtered and mapped to columns in the file list.

eg. of one has filenames of the form:

<Name>[Year][Format-Audio][Format-Video][Rating]

Then one could enter these into a filename tags list such that:

• That tag is not shown in the filename, and
• A new column is optionally shown that displays that tag.

So instead of:

ActionMovie [2000][MP3][MPEG2][6]

It could just show:
ActionMovie
with columns for the year, formats and rating.

So as to not end up with columns for each possible value of these fields (eg. 2000, 2001, 2002 etc), one would either need to either:

• declare possible values for each field/column (eg. Year=2000|2001|2002 etc...), or some sort of regexp, or
• declare the order of the fields in the filename.

Stu.

That's a BIG wish. I don't think this will happen any time soon around here. BTW, there is already another file manager (DO) for those who what it that heavy.
