Description KDE Brainstorm Submissions 2009-11-03 01:19:08 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

I have seen this feature on MacOS X yesterday for the first time and i love it. I find it even nicer than having different icons for different folders, which can look kinda crowded sometimes.

Anyway what is this? Colored labels allow the user to define a "label" of a set of colors that are associated with some topic.

Dolphin already implements many of finders features (sidebar, columns) - the labels would be really nice to have too.

Here is what it looks like in action:

macOS color labels have since been merged with tags; tags have a color, and tagging a file with "Important" "Hot" "Work" Personal" or whatever will result in the icon being colored. It works really well. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the equivalent Dolphin feature request: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37300
