If i try to set a second label, with the status column turned on, it will remove the initial label. Do i have to make a special setting in order to have them both? The manual shows an example of two status labels displayed in the status column, which i can't get here to work.
Default toolbars have a pre-made example for the Status icons:
Properties SETLABEL !menu LABELCATEGORY raw:Status ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE
(The "raw:" prefix on "raw:Status" is so the same name works in all languages. It wouldn't be needed for user-made categories.)
Alright, got it, thanks. But why does following not work?
Properties SETLABEL !menu LABELCATEGORY raw:Status ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE
Set COLUMNSTOGGLE=status(2)
I can set "statusicons" manually, though.
"Not work" is not very specific, but if you mean the second line is ignored, it's because the first line makes the button generate a list of other buttons and then hides itself.
You can sometimes use embedded commands to append extra commands into all the generated buttons. I'm not sure if it works with Properties SETLABEL=!menu, but if it does work it would be like this:
Properties SETLABEL !menu LABELCATEGORY raw:Status ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE
[
Set COLUMNSTOGGLE=status(2)
]
You'd also presumably want to turn the column on, not toggle it, but that's an easy change.
It doesn't work like expected, at the moment. I have to set the column manually. I'm also trying to have that status column saved, whenever i set those special icons. Will look deeper into it tomorrow.
What do you think about follwing suggestion? If we set tags from this special category, the "status" column should be automatically turnded on, & the would be also auto-saved for that folder. I think, it would make sense, since you want to be able to see those extra tags as long as they are used.
It makes sense to have some way to turn on the column when setting the status, I agree.
Ok, saving it is very easy now, with the new Set Saveformat option, so that wouldn't be a problem.
In the next beta Properties SETLABEL !menu etc. will support embedded commands.
