I really liked the colour folders / files you could set in osx 10.8, the ones where the entire folder / file line would be coloured as opposed to the little coloured dot in Mavericks and Yosemite.
Is there an option to turn back on the full row colour fill in either of these versions of OSX ?
It wont work in Mac OS if there are sub folders with the same name.
I use Deltawalker for merging folders.
The "foo.bar can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" error is because of Gatekeeper. You can disable Gatekeeper from System Preferences:
Selecting "Always Open With" from the "Open With > Other..." dialog only changes the default application for the selected files. You can change the default application for all files of a type from a Show Info window:
You can add a context menu item for opening files in TextEdit by creating a service like this with Automator:
If you have the Powerpack for Alfred 2, you can also create a workflow like this:
You can use duti to make TextEdit the default application for plain text files without an extension and executable scripts. Install Homebrew, run brew install duti, save
com.apple.TextEdit public.plain-text all
com.apple.TextEdit public.unix-executable all
as ~/.duti, and then run /usr/local/bin/duti ~/.duti.

Are you kidding. Once Apple takes away, it never comes back. But you can use TotalFinder or, a more elaborate solution, PathFinder, to get the label color for the folder and full row instead of that weeny little tag color dot.
And there are little apps about, such as Colored Folder Creator from '08. that kinda still work ... it doesn't color the whole row, but ....
