Creating a button on the toolbar which runs this command will give you a menu of all Status icons (i.e. labels in the Status category) which can be toggled, and will also turn on the Status column when you click any of them:
Properties SETLABEL="!menu" LABELCATEGORY="Status" ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE
[
Set COLUMNSADD=Status(!1+Name)
]
(That's more or less the same thing that generates the list in places like the menu attached to the Properties button on the default toolbars.)
If you want the icons directly on the toolbar, not inside a submenu, remove the ="!menu" part, like so:
Properties SETLABEL LABELCATEGORY="Status" ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE
[
Set COLUMNSADD=Status(!1+Name)
]
You can change the LABELCATEGORY="Status" to be something else like LABELCATEGORY="My Favorites" if you want to use a custom category, and put just your favorite items into it, while keeping others in the normal Status category.
Labels/icons and Categories are set up under Preferences / Favorites and Recent / Labels.
You can also make individual buttons for toggling individual status icons, if you prefer to manage them that way. This will toggle the "Checked" status icon:
Properties SETLABEL="Checked" ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE
Set COLUMNSADD=Status(!1+Name)
If you don't want to turn the Status column on when using the buttons, you can keep just the first lines of each example:
Properties SETLABEL="!menu" LABELCATEGORY="Status" ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLEProperties SETLABEL LABELCATEGORY="Status" ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLEProperties SETLABEL="Checked" ADDLABEL SETLABELTOGGLE(See here for how to add commands to toolbars, if needed.)
