Use color to indicate selection #4

Open lightonflux opened 7 years ago

lightonflux commented 7 years ago

It gets a bit nervous when the selection jumps around in a fast moving list. Indicating the selection by colour not sharp brackets would be nicer on the eyes. (IMHO)

Good suggestion. This is possible if the script is refactored to use assdraw instead of the osd-message.

I'll implement it when I get some free time.

I would suggest directories, video files, selection and subs to all have their own colours. Sometimes I have to look at the end of a file to know what it is. Also, optionally group directories at the top.

One other possible solution is to use some prefix for every item like this:

○  ▷  first_file.mp4
●  ▷  second_file.mp4
○  🗁 cat_videos

That probably looks very ugly depending on the font but is one quick solution that wouldn't require assdraw refactoring.

Quick fix 6a0d855ded6ed438e595cdaedff007f46849da8f

○ file.mp4
● file2.mp4
○ file3.mp4
○ file4.mp4

Keeping issue open for further improvements.

That looks very good. Thanks.
