Blue lines on SharePoint folders and items in document library

What are these blue lines?

 

  • “New” Star replacement. Think it’s items modified in past 24 hour.
  • I think it's got something to do with what the Sharepoint sees as a REPEAT of a file. 

    For example, if you have a file that has a similar name in folder A and in folder B;

    Lets say, you already transferred folder A to sharepoint

    and now you transfer folder B (from your main windows drive) to Sharepoint -

    then because Sharepoint sees that you have 2 files (with similar/same names) from two different folders (folder A & folder B);

    - (more than one file from each folder A and folder B has file(s) with a similar name/title)

    - your folder will then have the three blue lines on it.

      We've had a lot of questions about this in our organization too, I've looked through all the recent changes described in the Message Center but found nothing describing this. I guess it's too unsignificant to post about, but this sort of change sure generates interest :-)

      Btw: the color scheme changes wrt the item type it seems, green for files and blue for folders?
