More robust ScriptColumns/EvaluatorColumns

Help & Support

I'm creating a custom folder with custom columns based on regex from the names. I'd like to remove the name column entirely but that's a different feature request.

Ideally what I'd like to be able to do is

  1. Show the icon in a custom column (doesn't appear to be possible currently)
  2. Allow selection on the column text - similar to selection on the text of the name column, allow a flag for the column to allow selecting that item from the text in the column

This way I could make a custom column view that chunks out parts of the filename into custom columns, but still select things using the text in the columns

// text
elseif (Match(file_name, "grp:Text", "f")) 
{
  return "<%tbim:text> " + ext;
}

Thank you! But it looks like you have to account for every possible filetype manually. Is there a way to mimick the icon that would show up in the Name section? ie dynamically populate that part of the custom column?

not sure if you can access an files icon directly, but it is possible to make icon set with that icon as part of it and reference that.

afik each filetype or group of filetypes has to be manually encoded.

I see, thank you. That would require creating and mapping an icon for every single filetype that exists.

You can catch the ones that are important and put in a default icon for the rest.
