Recursive Color Filters

Would it be possible to add Recursive Color Filters?
For example, with icons, I can use /r and all sub-folders get the icon recursively... would it be possible for color filters as well?
Currently, for icons I have:
Code: Select all
*[[]*unsorted*[]]\ /r>Folders\Colored\33 Light Gray.ico
*[[]*sorted*[]]\ /r>Folders\Colored\14 Green.ico
Would love to be able to do the same with Color Filters

I was doing some searching, and found this
Color Filters by Tags feature added in 15.80:
If something similar could be added for icons (
Color Filters by Icons), it would kind of solve my request...
I could just have a color filter like this:
Code: Select all
icon:Folders\Colored\14 Green.ico>FFFFFF,00AA00
Pretty sure a better solution exists, but this one seems easy to implement...

Sorry, I don't understand the use of it.

For the same reason someone might want icons recursively...
So, for example, instead of:
Code: Select all
dir:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Something like:
Code: Select all
dir /r:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir /r:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Would produce something like:

Ok, I think consistency demands to do it.

Well, the description in the first release notes was wrong (corrected today). It should work the way you described it above:
Code: Select all
dir /r:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir /r:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080

Reviving this old post to request a minor addition to the recursive feature.
Could if be possible to set a limit of how deep it goes?
Using the old example:
Code: Select all
dir /r=2:*[ Sorted ]>FFFFFF,00AA00
dir /r=2:*[ Unsorted ]>FFFFFF,808080
Would keep the color filters 2 levels deep in the folder structure. If it's doable, same idea for icons:
Code: Select all
*[[]*unsorted*[]]\ /r=2>Folders\Colored\33 Light Gray.ico
*[[]*sorted*[]]\ /r=2>Folders\Colored\14 Green.ico
I use the recursive feature for both color filter and icons a lot, but sometimes (often), it's useless after a few levels of recursiveness.

Well, maybe later.

Not late enough. And not enough demand. Priorities, you know.

Fair enough...
For a moment, I thought I found a way to do it using
filter:
example:
filter:D:\Path\To\Folder\*;D:\Path\To\Folder\*\*
but it seems like using
\*\
doesn't mean one folder, but anything in the path...
So... maybe a feature that would be more useful to a lot more people would be
regfilter:
(and
regfilternot:
)?
Using these paths as example:
D:\Path\To\Folder\
D:\Path\To\Folder\Subfolder_One\
D:\Path\To\Folder\Subfolder_One\Subfolder_Two\
D:\Path\To\Folder\Subfolder_One\Subfolder_Two\Subfolder_Three\
regfilter:D:\\Path\\To\\Folder\\(.*?\\){0,1} would only match
D:\Path\To\Folder\
and
D:\Path\To\Folder\Subfolder_One\
Maybe too complex of a feature, but thanks for the consideration
