The Instant Color Filters are fully customizable to your needs and easy to share. They support the full set of file properties and meta properties, plus a couple of extra properties like filename length or image aspect ratio. Text and background color can be defined individually for each filter. |
For example, let's highlight all items created or modified this week. Click the arrow part of the "Toggle Instant Color Filters" button in the toolbar, and select the predefined color filter "Created or Modified This Week":
Select "Created or Modified This Week"... (Click to zoom)
... Voilà! Now you see them stand out from the crowd, white on brown. Of course, the coloring is fully customizable. (Click to zoom)
Once a filter is selected, the toolbar button toggles this last filter. You can even assign a keyboard shortcut to this toggle function (Tools | Customize Keyboard Shortcuts | Miscellaneous | Various | Toggle Instant Color Filter).
As another example let's select the filter "Image Aspect Ratio 16:9" to highlight all 16:9 images:
Voilà, two images in the current view have this aspect ratio. Of course, you can easily add any filters you need, e.g. "1.51:1", "3:2", "4:3" ... (Click to zoom)
Of course, the aspect ratio filter also work in all other list view, for example in the Details view:
Highlighting 16:9 aspect ratio in Details view. (Click to zoom)
For example let's color code all folders created recently. We can use a predefined Instant Color Filter for this, "Folders Created Recently":
Folders Created Recently. (Click to zoom)
The applied color filter shows folders created within the last 3 hours in yellow on dark blue, folders created within this day in yellow on middle blue, and folders created within this week in white on light blue. For your interest, this is what the fully customizable definition for this filter looks like: "Folders Created Recently" ageC d: <= 3 h>FFFF00,0073E6||ageC d: d>FFFF80,379BFF||ageC d: w>FFFFFF,71B8FFAn example for color coding the aspect ratio is shown above. Now here is an example for finding image files with a certain aspect ratio. prop:#AspectRatio: 16:9 is used as the search pattern:
