Feature: Color files according to the applied tag

[bjolet]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When adding tags to files, users can choose a specific color. This works great for quickly identifying specific files in most views, but when using the list view, there are no visual indicators for which files have tags. Having an option to enable colored pills for those files would be useful.

Example from OSX:

Requirements

• Enable a pill behind the text for any files that have tags
• Match the pill color to the chosen tag color
• Feature toggle to allow users to disable

Files Version

3.7.6.0

Windows Version

Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.4169)

This needs to be explored further but two immediate concerns are color contrasts and conflicts with the selection state. A third potential issue is when files have multiple tags.
