What can I say?

Not a tradeoff I think is worth making.
OK, however that's a change from the old Tweak (now Unpack) behaviour which does update last_modified if you press Rebuild. So the issue may be raised by others.

Showing it at the top uses the browsers' own implementation and is much more robust.
I guess robust is best. BTW I did have occasional problems today with the Preview not always tracking to the current match. If I can reliably reproduce it in a test file I'll give more details.

That would be good and would kind-of match what happens in the Viewer with the TOC. If you intend to include a visible TOC at some point it may be more appropriate there than in the File Browser.

In that case, I'm sure I can wait till the complete custom color feature is available.
