Extra Column for images with relative path

[mrbosco]

I have many folders with a folder.jpg file in them.
I thought it would be interesting to be able to hover over a column and have the hoverbox reveal the folder.jpg. It works when I enter the full path to folder.jpg but I can't can't figure out how to make it work with a relative path. I want to do this for many folders and hopefully just modify tag.dat directly. Is this reasonable or possible?

No clue what you want...

Well you could, but the relative path would have to include the folder name eg foldername\folder.jpg, but I am not sure why you would want to add all this info to your tag db either, I'd probably just recommend using a custom column instead, in Image format, here is a very bare bones version of all you'd need as a script.

return "<cc_item>\folder.jpg";

If I need to add foldername it's really not relative to any folder.

I tried the custom column approach but nothing seems to be happening.
The subfolder has the custom column with the green circles with the arrows in them, which don't do anything. I want the parent folder to display folder.jpg either when clicked or hovered over the column.

I had to make Item type Folders.
It works!
Thank you!

On a different PC the graphic shows up as a small image in the column but the hover is not working.
I think I have all the hover settings the same. What could I be missing?

Actually, the hoverbox isn't working even on a regular jpg, not sure why. Everything is checked.

This is checked?

Regular jpg? You mean not in an image column? This is a prerequisite too

Are there any more requirements or potential conflicts?

There must be a conflict with one of these. Not sure which.

That's not a conflict, verbatim tooltips aren't meant for normal usage, why you would enable them eludes me.

What are "Item type Folders"?

Custom columns have 3 types in the definition

Files
Folders
