Re: Colour-code your folders

Thanks Malcolm - I notice there is a paid version as well. Have you used the program for a month yet? If not, only time will tell if a 'nag' to purchase a licence appears after it has been installed for a while. Not a lot of money even if it did though ($9.99). I have installed it on W.10 and it works fine. A scan with AdwCleaner after installation revealed no unwanted software.

I have been using a different program for this job that offers a free version. It has been installed since the 20th of January, so a little over a month and no nags to buy the paid version so far. This one is called 'Folder Marker Free'. There are a few more functions to it that can optionally add further markings to folders (priorities etc) but I haven't found a need for them.

Folderico doesn't include these but it colours the folders just as well and that's the part that might be found useful. I'll keep it installed.

I use such a program because I have a second internal drive with loads of folders on it. It's handy to pick out some of the more frequently accessed ones with a different colour.

Incidentally, this function comes in Linux Mint as part of the operating system.

Cheers mart !
If a 'nag' appears in a week or two then I will post in this thread.
I do like the coloured folders idea though.....I have never yet paid for any program from the net since I started 20+ years ago and that's how I intend to stay !

Re: Colour-code your folders

Thanks for this!
This is great Mal if rather time consuming maybe I am doing it in a laborious fashion it looks good though.

Re: Colour-code your folders

You're welcome Muddy, but....what's time consuming about two clicks on yer mouse ?

Re: Colour-code your folders

Two clicks!
First I go to folderico and choose my folder . Browse go to my docs select folder choose colour apply close and start all over again it's loads of clicks .
Obviously I am doing something wrong..

Re: Colour-code your folders

I don't understand that Muddy ?

Re: Colour-code your folders

Just right click on the folder, hover over 'change icon' click on a colour....job done in just two clicks....simples
