I wanted a quick way to see which files and folders have been aliased, favorited, or smart-favorited, to improve organization. For example, knowing which folders are aliased makes it easy to return to them using GoScripts.
To achieve this, I settled on a script column with a button that toggles the column on and off.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="label" hotkey="shift+A" separate="yes" textcol="none">
<label>Toggle Alias</label>
<icon1>#newcommand</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>Set COLUMNSTOGGLE="scp:AliasHighlighter/Aliased(0)"</instruction>
</function>
</button>
