Vifm filetype colors

invalido · 2010-08-15 23:02:17

Just started using vifm but cannot get my head around customizing filetype colors.
Read in the changelog that it was added on version 0.2 but no documentation available.
Is it even possible and if so where how do I add it?

Not to dis vifm, but try ranger....you won't be disappointed .

You can set colorschemes in ~/.vifm/colorschemes. You can set colurs for filetypes based on the lstat inode information:

DIRECTORY
LINK
SOCKET
DEVICE - either a character or block device.
EXECUTABLE

I'll update the wiki entry to make this clearer.

thx for the answer. So it isnt possible to make for example all .RAR files red?

In a word: no.
