Hue Dada ! For Mac

Placing your files into neatly organized categories is all well and good, but, even if you use Finder tags, there is no way to make folders or documents stand out so you can easily pick them out from a large number of similar items.

Hue Dada ! comes with an interesting solution, as it can colorize file icons depending on their tags, and all you need to do is drop them onto the app’s menu bar icon.

When it comes down to it, Hue Dada ! is a very simple app, but it can prove to be immensely helpful. Nearly identical folders become much more distinct, and you will no longer have to search for certain items, as a single glance is enough to spot them.

Of course, not all files are suitable for colorization, as it will be difficult to notice a change after processing images, videos or certain PDF files.

Hue Dada ! rests in the menu bar after it is installed, and you can drop any files or folders onto the status bar icon to make them more distinct. If multiple tags are applied to the same item, the most recent one will be taken into consideration.

Once a file has been colorized, the application continues to track it, so its color will be modified whenever the tag is changed.

Unfortunately, only one file at a time can be processed, so tagging a large number of icons is not a particularly speedy operation.

Also, there is no way to reset all modified icons to their default states without removing their tags, which may have been in use before the application was installed.

To conclude, Hue Dada ! offers an innovative method of organizing your documents and folders, but it needs a couple of extra features, as it is currently not possible to colorize multiple items at once or reset icons to their default states without removing their tags.
