I think you missed my point. Yes, you can do that, but you have to do it for each individual file name or type in the category that gets the undesired color, and you have to update your configuration any time a new addition is made to that category. What I would like is a single code to change the color for all files of that category. |
There's also the https://the.exa.website/features/colours But I stopped using I've added quite a lot of filetypes to my already quite lengthy dircolors file - most recently |
Frankly it's archaic to rely on the user specifying colors for each individual file type in an ENV. The ability to write, share, and import themes is basic functionality for most modern CLI programs that heavily involve text. (Think bat.) +1 |

Yeah, I used to use LSD on my Windows devices as an alternative to a MSYS Exa install, and this was definitely one of the larger parts of it that I missed. |
Request the ability to change colors for file categories — e.g. immediate, document, image, etc. If this feature already exists I have not been able to find it in the documentation.
Currently if you want, for instance, to change the immediate file color, you would have to separately specify it for 41 different filenames — and you would have to make changes every time a new immediate file is added.
For those of us who prefer light background, yellow is a terrible, unreadable color, and changing it individually for every immediate file is a pain.
