Customizable grouping

Post by John_C »

The idea is similar to grouping in Windows Explorer, except that you can customize the groups.

Here is the contents of a test directory how it looks in XYplorer currently, in the Details view:

  • ahk are AutoHotkey scripts
  • bat are Windows batch scripts
  • py is a Python script
  • md is a Markdown document
  • docx is a Word/LibreOffice document
  • indd is an InDesign document
And here is how grouping looks in Windows Explorer:

The idea is to provide an option to define custom groups. Personally, for my custom needs, I will define files with the ahk, bat and py extensions as Scripts, and files with the md, docx and indd extensions as Documents.

So the grouping will look as follows:

Code: Select all

-- Documents (3) ----------------

xx.md
yyy.docx
zz.indd

-- Scripts (5) ------------------

a.ahk
bb.ahk
c.bat
dd.bat
e.py
To see the attached files, you need to log into the forum.

Or you may decide to group files by application.

indd files are InDesign documents, indt are InDesign templates, and jsx are InDesign scripts. So I may define all of them as InDesign:

Code: Select all

-- InDesign (5) ----------------

aa.indd
bb.indd
xx.indt
yy.jsx
zz.jsx
