Description
One of the great features on OSX Finder which i miss when on Windows 10 / Linux is the ability to colour code files from within the context menu.
Would it be possible to get that built in fman or is that something that must be written as a plugin?
I'm not sure if on OSX the colour is stored on .DS_Store file or if it somehow appends metadata to the file itself ( i don't know if that's possible to be honest ), so i'm wondering what would be the best approach?
Thank you very much for such great app.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating fman's context-menu and file-metadata handling, then investigate how color labels could work on Windows and Linux and whether this belongs in fman or a plugin. Done means a defined, cross-platform way to color code files and folders from the context menu.
