    Adding a new owner for the file, explorer doesn't update


    I am thinking of something to mark my video files as watched or not watched on Windows Explorer.

    And I have an idea. Showing the owner tab on windows explorer and changing it from rightclick as watched. So I created a new user profile named WATCHED. And I tried this code from cmd.

    Code:
    icacls D:\Folder\TvSeries\video.720p.mkv /grant WATCHED:F /q
    It grants WATCHED user as a owner but on windows explorer it shows the main one. So It doesn't making any difference. How can I fix that?

    Why not keep it simple and put a @ or similar as the first character of the movie name after you've watched it?

    Because I am seeding it via uTorrent.

    ??? Don't understand. What difference does that make, or do you mean it would affect the order it's displayed for others? If so, put the @ at the end of the name :)

    If I change the name uTorrent won't seed it.

    Playing with permissions just as a marker seems too much for me.
    I would either just copy the files on a separate folder, keep the seeding copy intact and rename/tag the copies as you like (uTorrent being unaware of those), or simply create a bunch of shortcuts to the files that you rename at will.
    I'm not sure about symlinks/hardlinks, but those may also work without affecting the seeding files.

    Or........ Why not simply use a .txt file with Notepad to keep track of those?

    I don't understand what uTorrent and seed mean, sorry. Never used any torrent software.

    You could also create a file of the same filename as the movie with .read or .txt or .anything.
