Show Tags one the pane tree

I use tags as a way to mark the current state in my folders from work (waiting to start, in progress, finished, approved).
I can't find any way to show the tag colors in the pane tree. Is this possible?
In case it isn't, is there any other way you would recommend for me to color-tag my folders?
Thanks :)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Just to confirm: Tags are only shown on the file list, and higlighted folder only on the tree pane?

Is there any way to color a folder and see that color both in the tree pane and in the file list?

You can use color filters in the tree to show the presence of Tags, but instant updating isn't reliable, you might find it easier just using this:

Favorites | Toggle Highlighted Folder
Favorites | Set Highlight Color...

Yes you can use Colorfilters in the tree, and in the list simultaneously, test it out, use the prop selector eg, B:prop:#tags:

Thanks again.

Sorry but I'm a little lost here.

When I Toggle Highlighted Folder I only see the folder marked on the tree pane.

If i set visual filter to B:prop:#tags: nothing seems to change.

I'm definitely doing something wrong here. Could you point me in the right direction please?

I never said you could use the Highlight folder feature in the List pane its Tree only, Color Filters (NOT VISUAL FILTER!) works in both though, and I think since you mentioned colors in your original post, you actually meant Labels not Tags, so you would want something like this: T:prop:#Label:approved as a term, since Labels are already colored in the list. You'd also need to match the color to your label color, and create one entry for each label.

The help file explains color filters.
