Is there a way to color folders like in Gdrive ?

Hello,

Everything is in the title ! Is there a way to chose a color for specific folders to make them stand out ?

Hey o/ and thx for trying out copyparty 😁

Sorry to say there's currently nothing like that right out of the box, but that doesn't necessarily have to stop us -- it might be possible to get something good enough just by using custom CSS.

Granted, there won't be a fancy menu to pick a color or anything like that, but maybe that's okay?

say you make a file named (for example) custom.css in the weboot (or somewhere else), with the following contents:

a[href="/pub/demo/music/Sabrepulse%20-%20First%20Crush/"]::before { content: '⬤ '; color: #f0a }

...and then have copyparty load that into all the pages with the commandline argument --css-browser=/custom.css then it'll look something like this:

in the default list-view:

...and in the grid-view

---

to add more folders, just copy that line, and change the path between the quotes -- the best way to get the right path is probably to navigate into the folder itself, and copy the full URL from your browser's address bar (https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/music/Sabrepulse%20-%20First%20Crush/) and then cut away the stuff before the first / in there.

And if you give yourself both the write and delete permissions for the volume that the css file is in, you'll be able to edit the css straight in the file browser -- so that makes it a bit less of a hassle to add folders that way I hope :)

Let me know what you think 😁 👍
