Hi There  
It seems the Preferences \> Favourites & Recent \> Folder Colors does not work for me.  
I have a feeling it is something simple but it eludes me.  
Take a look at the "Issues" folder in the screenshot.  
I am expecting it to appear in red as configured in the Folder Colors dialog. Am I doing somehting wrong?  
I have searched the forums but found the 2 articles on Folder colors and contect menus.  
Thanks for any reply..

You should see full folder paths, not just names, in the list. That's what I get if I add folders using the button directly above the list in Preferences and also what I get if I use the [Set Color menu](https://resource.dopus.com/t/set-file-folder-colors-labels-via-context-menu/6333/1).

How did you add those folders to the list? Via a different method? Or maybe there's something special about the folders themselves? I can't find a way to make just the names appear in the list (except hand-editing the config file, heh).

Which version of Windows are you using and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
