REQ: Feature: File Tracking Filters

[gpant]

I am a Developer and I am working on various projects at the same time. In my Local Source Tree I almost always want to have a file selected to be always the last or first file in the current view.
ie
-------------------------^
-MyFile.~dpr -
-MyFile.frm -
-MyFile.dpr -
-MyFile.exe - <-- I want to mark this file as tracked Up/Down
-... -
-OtherFile.~dpr -
-OtherFile.frm -
-OtherFile.dpr -
-OtherFile.exe -
-... -
------------------------\/

Thus The View Would be

-------------------------^
-MyFile.exe - <-- The marked file will always be in this line if its tracked Up
-... -
-OtherFile.~dpr -
-OtherFile.frm -
-OtherFile.dpr -
-OtherFile.exe -
-... -
-SomeOtherFile.dpr -
-... -
------------------------\/

Just assign some kind of metadata to the file you want to have to be displayed first and then add a custom column to be able to sort it.

This metadata can be a (temporary) file comment for example, I have created a script for that a while ago:

Metadata isn't a good solution since its really rare for a file to have something unique especially for executables or even worse for source code.

Read again, edited. File comments are stored in descript.ion files so your original file isn't "touched".
