Thank you @KDGNOR but we need Qt, because Filer is written in Qt.

KDGNOR commented 3 years ago

think MacOSX use .DS_Store to track color'ing.

did think u mabye use same plugin as gtk3 app vala color plugin but mabye vala it gtk3 only sorry if so.

Vala is not strictly for GTK, but it takes a lot of work to use it without GLib, which is already used in Filer, but is on "Unwelcome technologies"

Index - File Manager: https://mauikit.org/apps/index/ MauiKit is built using the KDE Kirigami framework and Qt Quick Controls 2.

Support some sort of Tags/Colors.. :-D

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Would be interesting to know where/how to store them.

kettle-7 commented 3 years ago

.DirInfo probably

Also if custom emblems could be supported, and you could filter by specific emblems or colour tags, that's make organisation easier :~)

probonopd commented 3 years ago

.DirInfo probably

Would be very surprised, as we made it up it as far as I know.
