Does Directory Opus Have An Instant Color Filter?

Help & Support
1

XYplorer has a nice Instant Color Filter button where you can toggle it through various filters and display it instantly displaying in a different color all files and folders created today (for example). See other options below.

Some other options are:
[ul]
[li] Created or Modified Today[/li]
[li] Created or Modified This Week[/li]
[li] Folders Created Recently[/li]
[li] Files Modified Recently[/li]
[li] Empty Files[/li]
[li] Files Shaded by Size[/li][/ul]
I find it very handy.
I especially like the "Created or Modified Today" option. But other options are also handy.

Does Directory Opus have something like this?

You can set up Labels and Status Icons to highlight almost anything you want, including all of those examples.

feature request: Can the background of the Assigned labels become the same as the one I use in the listers?
I use a dark background and light colors for labels. These colors are hard to see on the white background in the settings window. I would be happy with a black/white background switch too.

I can't find files or folders in the list.

Thanks.

I found it. :slight_smile:

It would be great if I could change the color to my liking.
The green color is just a bit too bright. Can I select my colors other than from the drop down list?

7

You can adjust and add labels under Preferences > Favorites > Labels (and not Label assigments you're now working with).

Thanks.

I just can't get the folder color to change.
I have change the unselected text and icon color.

9

OK.
The folder color doesn't change to every color like the text does.
The folder color is limited.

10

That's not true, you can make folders any color you wish.

What are you doing exactly? Can you show us how you have configured things?

Hi Leo. I am not at my computer right now, but I changed the unselected text and icon color to the darker green in the color palette.
I then selected that label color and applied it like your image above.

The text changes to the darker green, but the folder icon displays as the light green.
I experimented with other colors, and I have the same problem with the folder color not matching the text color. Some do, some don't. I came to the conclusion that only certain colors will work for folder icons. I guess I must be wrong.

Can you please tell me where I am going wrong? :slight_smile:

You can change the color of the folder icon by selecting a icon color. Icons and folder icons get the chosen color.


13

The selected colour is blended with the original colours of the target icon so the final result you get will vary depending on how the colours combine. You might not always get exactly the same colour you chose.

14

Thanks Amorax. I know how to change the folder icon color, but certain colors from the Color Palette don't always produce the expected color.

15

Hi Jon.

Thanks for your reply.
These are my findings also.

The blending happens if you re-color the file or folder's natural icon (since there's no other way to take an icon and recolor it, unless you lose all the shading and end up with a silhouette).

If you want exact icon colors (or indeed shapes), you can use the option below that replaces the entire icon with any .ico file of your choosing.

17

Thanks Leo.
In my particular case both the light green (RGB 0, 255, 0) and dark green (RGB 0, 128, 0) selection produces the same color folder icon. That's OK. I might try looking for .ico folders. :slight_smile:

The re-coloring uses the hue more than the brightness.

19

I don't suppose that the file name can be colored without coloring the icon, can it?
For example, a ZIP or RAR file icon looks crap colored.

The two options right above the icon color are for coloring the file name.
