  1. Adding Custom File Explorer Column?


    Hello,

    I often work through a series of files in a directory and I'd like a way to identify which ones are done and which ones I am still working on. I know I can re-name the files but I'm wondering if there is a way to add a column to File Explorer that would be a YES/NO checkbox or a Done/Not Done attribute of some sort?

    Thank you.
