Assigning custom colors to file extensions has been a great help to me in ThumbsPlus and it would be wonderful to see the option in XnView as well. It's incredibly useful while in the file manager for immediately, visually distinguishing (for example) what's a jpg, what's an animated gif, and what's an ai because their extensions are in different colors. If the feature is currently available in XnView please let me know how I can implement it because I searched and couldn't find it.
The other suggestion (also related to extensions) is to give them little colorized tags. When I'm not working with vectors I like to use a great little graphics editor called PixBuilder Studio. It's FREE, it has a low footprint and they give you the option of associating some (or none) graphic-file extensions with the program. It uses these cute little image tags and frankly, even if I didn't associate any of them with PixBuilder I just like the instant visual. Here's a screenshot so you can see how it looks in a file manager with random sorting (hmm, can't seem to get rid of that alpha channel on my upload, sorry) . . .
