As apparently there is no way of doing so right now [[/t/18375/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/18375/1)], I would like to request ability to create additional columns bearing the icons of files

It should work just like every other column, so should be defined by "Value", "Field" and "Sort by". This could be use for recognizing files format visually [given that the user has a different icon for different files format], so that there would be no need of reading file extensions

There already is a [default] icon column, but it is not movable and cannot be defined. And such one column on the far left is sometimes just not enough [especially when you working on two screens or on one but ultrawide]
