file-list and list-colors

file-list and list-colors

Hello, I have these two lines in my .zshrc:

zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}
zstyle ':completion:*' file-list true

Since I have added the file-list style the results are not colored anymore.
Is it possibile to make those styles work together?

thanks

I don't think so. file-list uses `compadd -l`, which doesn't apply list-colors
styles based on file names/types (only those based on display-string
patterns). It looks like it'd be easy to change that, but maybe there are
other functions designed with the current behaviour in mind? Even if it was
changed, since there's no way to communicate to the list-colors code what part
of the display string is the file name, it can only colour the entire line,
which might look a bit weird
