Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Icon/Color overlay based on "last modified" date

Are we two the only ones that think this would be helpful?  Do you think this idea is too big for a coding snack?    :huh:

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Icon/Color overlay based on "last modified" date
« on: May 01, 2006, 12:24 PM »
Idea:

I think it would be cool to have a Shell Icon Overlay that overlaid icons based on when they were last modified.  For example,  Files modifed in the last 7 days would have a "red" icon overlay, and files modified in the last 30 days would have an "orange" icon overlay. 

This would be helpful because it would point out recent docs without having to change to "details" view in explorer.  The icon files used for the overlay could use the alpha channel to look transparent, thus preserving the base icon image.  Ideally the icon overlays and "ages" of files would be configurable. 

I suspect this could be done by implementing your own handler from IShellIconOverlayIdentifier (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell_int_extending/extensionhandlers/iconoverlayhandlers.asp)
But I'm not that advanced in my skills to do it.

Lemme know if you think this would be cool.

Post New Requests Here / Coming Soon: Rename images with Date Picture Taken (by folder)
« on: February 14, 2006, 11:17 AM »
FYI: 
I wrote a little app that renames images with Date Picture Taken (by folder), because I couldn't find anything like it on the web already.   I'll be uploading it soon.  I also added "Use Date Modified" as an option in case the photo's don't have the Date Picture Taken property.  (When used in the default mode it only renames files with the Date Picture Taken property.)

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Copying files, timestamp existing files and copy new ones in

Yeah, numbers or a timestamp would be great.  So... it sounds like there's a need.  Is it likely to be included in the ContextMenu commander soon?  :)

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Copying files, timestamp existing files and copy new ones in

A cool shell extension that would really help me out would be when you copy files to a different folder if the files already exist rename the existing file with a time stamp and then copy the new files in.

Example:

Directory of C:\files

C:\files\wow.txt

User copy and pastes (or drags and drops) a "wow.txt" file from another path/folder.  (H:\nice\wow.txt).
In addition to the "Replace existing file" a second option is shown: "Timestamp old file and keep new file".

If the user selects the second here is the directory of C:\files

C:\files\wow.txt (new)
C:\files\wow-20041231-0823.txt (old)

This would help me so much!
