Hey,
Has anyone gotten an assignment to ever form a system to organize the folders based on the color bar labelling of folders when working in macs? Our folder are getting crazy with yellows and reds and greens, and I wish if anyone categorized the colors, eg. importance, in-progress, on-hold, etc, or something like, most important, less important, in-house or anything at all. lemme knw. thx.

not exactly sure what you're asking but you can assign color label titles (eg. importance, in-progress, on-hold, etc) under Finder/ Prefs

Right click on any folder in a Mac. You can assign a color label, by giving the folder a color. eg. rad, yelliow, orange, pink, gray, blue, green. I was looking if someone has created a color coding system based on those colors to organize the different folder in harddrive.

and if the answer is yes, what information are you looking to glean from this question?

yes.. i color code my files frequently.
you can assign a title to each color via Finder/ Prefs.

I RED/GREEN/GOLD everything on my disk for mad rasta vibes.
seriously though, Mac color labeling was so much better in OS9...
If anyone finds a script or app that'll allow you to assign color label via keyboard shortcuts you'll be my very very best friend. I dinked with it for ages but Key Shorts in system prefs can't seem to recognize Color Label options. Have also tried to rig Automator to do it but no luck. There was also a ghey app that tries to do it but doesn't really work.

horton-
google for an applescript that changes the color label of selected item, then attach it to a key combo with this:
