Folder Background Colors "Discovery"

Post by JohnFredC »

I have folders that display different folder background colors in XnView!
  • 1. I'm crazy for not noticing this before.

    2. It makes perfect sense (because the folder thumbs are stored in the cache?).

    3. I LIKE IT!!! Having different folder colors for different folders is great!

    4. Please make this easier to control:

You have change the colors for folder thumbnail, and not rebuild them.
You want different color per folder????

Yes. Makes me consider a strategy to preserve the folder color between thumb re-builds.

I didn't think so before, but now that I have it (temporarily, at least)... it actually looks useful! A user would need to be able to conveniently access a folder color dialog from the folder context menu, though... having to modify the INI "by hand" precludes wide adoption, otherwise.

Perhaps integration with a "folder color category" feature would be useful, too.
