Topic: Hotkey to toggle file colour?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is the a hotkey, or even script, to allow me to toggle a files colour?

Currently the process of right clicking, changing colour, writing the tag, then clicking OK - is quite long winded.

I'd like to use a keyboard shortcut / hotkey to quickly change the file colour to say green, and using the shortcut again would reset it.

I have tried to do some scripting, but the documentation is terrible and none of it seems to make sense - and I'm a programming by trade!

I created my own Pad Page with colours for my own use.

My colouring system is for the type of genre the track is; e.g. Blue is for good dance tracks, Purple for RnB, Red for DO NOT PLAY due to profanity at certain types of venue i.e. weddings, etc.


This is a pad page example. You can highlight a single track or a group of tracks and change their colour instantly;



This is the result, centre browser is the current BBC Dance Top 40, in the right Automix window is the current BBC Top 40;

All the info you need is there in the post above, with the exception the button colour and that is as simple as
color 'red'
