This is a desperate plea for 'colour by folder'

Seen loads of requests for this, and replies dating back 3 years or more that "it's on your to do list"...

Also other requests and comments on the current 'colour by priority'... To my mind, you could solve 2 birds with 1 stones, by allowing the user to customise their own colour options, and keep everyone happy...
