  My question is not there in the FAQ
Asked questions on this answer:
  1. One thing i miss is to set a color (in my case RED) on compressed files and folders (there are a few of them in Windows by default + mine ofcourse). Is that possible in Q-Dir ? Else i found all my settings for my need.?
  2. About the use of colors for different types of files: is it possible to create filters based also on file attributes? For example; I work with cloud storage and would like to represent files and folders "online only" and "available offline" with different colors.
  3. How do I factor in that some files are ZIP, some Jpg, PDF, and many others? I need to add a Type filter "TORRENT" but I don't know how. I'm trying to make ALL filter Types TORRENT reguardless their actual extention a (1) color. Any further questions don't hesitate to contact me.?
