Swap folder colors via script

Post by Ralf »

Hello,
Is there a way to swap folder colors with a script?
I would like to change this now based on my experiences of the last few months. However, with so many folders individually, this is rather bad.

There are 9 folder colors with various descriptions.
I want to have the folders 5 color (yellow) and 7 color (blue) as one color.

Example:
I now want to set the folders with the 5 color (yellow) to the 7 color (blue). Then I change the description as I need it today.

greeting
Ralf

AFAIK There's no such script

What you can do: select multiple folders and then change the folder state. It will change for every selected folder.

Tip: Select the root and press Alt+right to recursively expand. Then select all the yellow folders (Ctrl+Click/Cmd+Click) and change them to Blue in one go.

too bad, but with the amount of folders I would be changing for a very long time. Then I leave out the colors, no matter how they are set now.
could have been
many thanks

I hope my top came across right.

1. Select multiple folders
2. Change the folder color for a selected folder

That will change the color for all selected folders in one go.

yes thanks, that came across right. Unfortunately I have more than 90000 pictures in many folders YYYY\MM\.
Going through it manually is just too time-consuming, unfortunately I used the colors to set a status that was just too confusing.
thank you for the effort :)
