Descript.ion maker

[KalleB]

I'd like to see something like in the attached image when I click real folder with right mouse button and select Advanced > Create/edit descript.ion

The decription for that mp3 file is obviously already created automatically by HFS & mp3toion.exe working together 


Edit: Maybe this menu entry should be only visible when "Support DESCRIPT.ION" is selected from the menu.

Thats not a bad idea.

Some bit of information:
There are file managers that can create descript.ion:  Total Commander, Far.
Its have ability to mantain descript.ion correctness: when you move or rename file description moves or updates also.
Images I descript in ACDSee (v4 haven't need to upgrade)

[KalleB]

OK..that's cool. But since I'm not using TC or Far and have no need for either of them otherwise, I'd like to see this decription creating & editing also inside HFS.

It is seemed that HFS has already similiar ability: in Virtual folder you can add comments to a file.
2 rejetto:
May be combine comments and descript.ion?
For example:
 if there a descript.ion read comments from it and if user update comment then update descript.ion?

[KalleB]

With files in virtual folders it currently works like this: If there is no comment set but there is decript.ion at the folder of that file, the comment is loaded from there. So a VFS comment overrides comment from descript.ion. (I think...I'm not able to verify this right now)

What I'm requesting here is to have an ability inside HFS to comment also files in real folders ..not only files in virtual folders like I can with the Comment feature.

that's also what i remember.
people, before you ask for a feature, check if it is already there

ok, it will take not long to make such thing, so it is accepted.
you won't see it in 2.2 anyway.

it pays to read!!... THANK YOU! KalleB ... I was hoping for a similar feature since I have MANY image files and running them under a virtual folder is just too sluggish... having a way to comment files under a real folder would be very efficient.

[rejetto]

you already have a way to comment files in real folder
