Question

A Program to mark opened files?

May 5, 2015 6:14AM PDT

To keep track of my digital library of videos(mostly anime),is there a program to mark opened files so that I don't lose track of the last episode I saw? Perhaps a font color change or a tick mark icon on the video file?

Appreciate the help Happy

You can set Windows Explorer to show the date of last access of a file in the detail view of a folder. But that might not be what you want. A video player that has something like File>Recent (as in MS Office programs) might be more helpful.
It's not a hardware question anyway. So it's a rather wrong forum you picked for your question.

You just have to put a check mark in the "Date last accessed" field.

Good luck.

Thats a good idea but...

That seems to be a very simple good idea but I was looking for something more stylish I would say.As in for example,changing the opened file font to another color. since sometimes I would re watch old episodes and that would mess up the date last accessed thing wouldn't it?
