Assign Color to Folder Tab Based on Drive Letter

[tbone]

Good point. If it tied into the existing folder formats, as an extra thing you could define for each format, then that wouldn't add any complexity and would probably work quite well.

What can I say but, yes!.. o)

It's a shame folder tab colours are already used for tab linking, but people can choose colors that don't clash, or choose to use one feature and not the other, I guess.

Another option would be to implement Tab.SetBGColor() for the scripting guys, this way efforts on your side may be heavily reduced, as we could integrate the rest on our own.

That makes sense. I thought we did that already, but it looks like only the full path, drive letter or folder name are currently options (from here). Should be easy to add a % code for the parent name.

I did not know this is possible, nice! In case another % code finds its way, it would be even nicer, if that code can be made persistent as a global setting. I saw, you need to enter these codes while renaming a tab, this is something I surely won't do for every tab I open.

But then again, let's have Tab.SetLabel() and you can lean back. o))
