Automatically attach color labels to files
Authored by: ianeiloart on Apr 11, '07 08:47:26AM

Nice tip, but I'm curious about the color coding scheme. To my eyes, it looks arbitrary - I don't see the connections between, say, the red files.

Very useful tip-I used the script on a folder named new files.

My colors are set so that similar type files will have different colors. eg

-- gif is different than jpeg is different than bmp, etc..
-- mov is different than avi is different than asf

I do a lot of workflow stuff, and I often have many versions of the same type file in the same folder. I like to see what has been processed and what has not. I explicitly tried to make all different formats of, say, images, a different color.

If you wanna mod it to make all images of any format the same color, go nuts, it just happens to be different than what I use it for.
