Post subject: | Folders Icons - Special Icon for Empty Folder |
Whenever I delete an empty folder, I have to make sure it is really empty. I do it by entering the doubtful folder, or by pointing the cursor on the doubtful folder icon, waiting for the TOOLTIP to be displayed saying it is empty. Is there a solution exists? Is it possible to do a special icon to an empty folders? Or Alternatively, in the Dialog-Box of the deletion - The question will be: Are you sure to delete empty folder? |

This is a nice idea to identify empty folders without going inside them or viewing their properties. But from a technical perspective, I don't know if it's possible to have an overlay icon for empty folders without affecting performance, only Ivo can answer that. |

Thanks for your feedback. So we'll wait for Ivo answer. In any case, the alternative solution does not seem that affects performance. |

It is not possible to dynamically change the folder icons. Adding overlays is possible, however it is a lot of work for very little payoff. Besides, overlays are a precious resource. You only get 15 in the entire system. |

What about the alternative: To specify "Empty" in Dialog? http://www.technorms.com/wp-content/upl ... folder.png http://i.stack.imgur.com/HOBj4.png http://cdn.windows7themes.net/pics/perm ... folder.jpg |

This dialog is part of Windows and not Classic Shell. |

New Ideas There is sometimes a tooltip apearing after some seconds saying it is Empty Folder. Can you: 1. Enable it will be apear always when pointing/selected ? 2. To do this it will be displayed immediately when pointing/selected ? Status Bar 3. What about to add it to details in Status bar ? |
