--- Comment #2 from myusualnickname at gmail.com <myusualnickname at gmail.com> ---
I'm looking to add custom columns to dolphin.

Like metadata from mp3 files or playlists...
It would be nice to have a way to make a little script so I can check each file
and fill out an entry for each file in the folder.

With windows scripting it was superduuper easy, I had a xolumn that was filled
by a properly ordered date rather than the date that was in the filename.  our
filenames were like DDDYYYY  and I needed it to be in correct order without
changing the filenames, so I did a regex and made it find strings of numbers
and then rearrange them so it was year then day of the year.
I'm just saying it would be nice to have a custom column option and the ability
to input a script that could grab the head or tail of a file or filename or
whatever, and run on each file in the folder and then have the output be a
string.

Custom columns I would write include:
Is filename valid for 8.3 dos? and 8.3 dosname
and valid for windows, and valid for mac, and a flag if the filename is ascii,
and a flag if it uses unicode encoding for the filename.

There are so many pieces of data that I want and need to to see.

I want to know if I can copy the file to NTFS, or if it has an O that is really
another character that has noting to do with O.
I want to be able to see if people are putting files on USB drives that have
filenames that will hurt the computer.
