Some way of making frequently used files stand out in list

Maybe based on a list, like exclude list, or txt file.
Method could be bold font, different background color, or just a different color, but should be based on multi-line list rather than the limited space of custom file type colors.
Please, please, please...

It is possible to write WDX-plugin that will answer YES if file matches the list, and use that plugin for color filter:D

Why not using Comments?
wincmd.ini: [Searches] wrote:Important_SearchFor=
Important_SearchIn=
Important_SearchText=
Important_SearchFlags=0|000002000020|||||||||0000|
Important_plugin=tc.comment contains important
wincmd.ini: [Colors] wrote:ColorFilterN=>Important
ColorFilterNColor=16711935
You can even assign a different icon:
wincmd.ini: [Associations] wrote:FilterN=>Important
FilterN_open=**
FilterN.icon=C:\Windows\explorer.exe,8

Thanks for your suggestions, but I'll probably just set one striking color apart to use for these files and create a makro so as to be able to quickly add files from the list view to the custom color file type. Not sure how many characters can be entered for each file type, but I guess I could use multiple types and assign the same color to each.
It's far from ideal and I really feel TC should allow the use of bold formatting in connection with file types or lists of files stored in text files, as has been suggested numerous times. Apparently, it's too hard to do? Could someone explain why?

No need for macro - just assign
cm_SetAttrib command to any key.
For configuration:
1. Hit it once and you will see
Change attributes dialogue.
2. Select
Change plugin attributes
3 click on
More attributes and choose
tc->comment.
4. hit F2 and save your template.

Thanks for your reply, Fenix, but you've got me confused. What does your suggestion accomplish with regard to assigning a custom color to a file (preferably without using comments)?

As
HolgerK suggested: you may create custom colour filter for IMPORTANT comment (you do it once!).
My solution is easy way to set such comment to multiple files. Unfortunately, there is no other way.
Sorry for getting you confused.
BTW similar topic (and same solution described):

In TC7.56, MGP's TwinKey plugin has a pretty cool "sticky file" feature.
