Hello,

I am trying to find a way that is comparable to the OS X file Highlighting/marking option. In OS X you can individually assign different colors to files, folders, programs, etc... I used this option religiously on my Mac, and am trying to find a way comparable in KDE 4.2 but cannot see the possibility. It helps a lot when you have, oh lets say 12 seasons of X-files and you want to mark the episodes you have watched so it is easily recognizable which one is next in the list.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You can use nepomuk tags to tag the files/folders, with whatever you wan't, then just search for the tag, you can even put comments for stuff.
However, i think adding graphic tags to nepomuk would be really, since it has served us really well in real life for various tasks.

Also, this topic should be in brainstorm

open dolphin - right click on desired file/folder, select properties, click on icon to change it to whatever

Thanks, I guess the only thing I can do now is just add tags and user rating stars to the file. It only appears when hovering your mouse over the file, or select the file, but its better than nothing. Thanks for the comments.

If you want to change the color of folders, there is a service menu for that (at least for Konqueror in KDE 3.5.x). Check kde-look.org. It basically just changes the icon of the folder, but it's faster to use a service menu than doing it "manually".

Edit: Here's an example. Unfortunately, I don't know if it works in KDE4 or not.

I'm using that one in KDE4, although it needs some tweaking to work. The following script takes care of that:

Thanks, but it appears this only works for folders. I need file support also. Right now I am just adding user comments, tags and stars under Dolphin.
