FreeCommander Forum

I have set different colours to indicate what attributes are set against the files and folders (Hidden, Read Only and so on).

The problem I have is I forget what colours I have set for what and when I install FC on a new machine I do not have the colours configured.

What I thought would be great was to extend the tooltip functionality to include this information (colours not required).

Copy your "freecommander.ini" into the installation-folder of a fresh installation and you have all your previous settings.

Or, if you only want to have the same color-settings, copy the parts [ItemColors] and [ItemColorsExt] of your old "freecommander.ini" into the new "freecommander.ini".

[ItemColors]
1=Dir;-16777208
2=ReadOnly;-16777208
3=Hide;255
4=Sys;255
5=Compressed;-16777208
6=Crypted;-16777208

[ItemColorsExt]
Ext1=.zip.rar.cab
Color1=16711680
Ext2=.jpg.png.bmp.gif.tif.tiff.wmf
Color2=8388736
Ext3=.exe.com.bat
Color3=32768

Thanks ralfso however the thing is I forget what each colour represents. The other thing is what happens when two or more of the attributes are true - what colour is used then.

The tooltips displaying the attribrutes would resolve the issue.
