Laurent,

I thought of that already, but the LS_COLORS environmental variable needs to be supported anyway (iuic). There could be a gperf fallback, though.

No, please.  I would be more than happy to.  It just depends on
whether
you would accept the patch, of course.

For the moment I've applied your original patch,
after removing support for these obsolete formats:
    .ace, .alz, .apk, .arc, .arj, .bz, .zoo

Is .apk really obsolete? I think Alpine packages and side loaded Android
applications use that extension. It seems your patch didn't remove it
anyways [1].

Oops good spot.

That was actually a copy/paste issue.
Right I didn't actually remove apk.
Others being removed happened to be around that,
and I forgot to remove it when copy/pasting the list.

sorry,
Padraig


Hello,

Slightly surprising and somewhat funny discussion
that with hardware of 2026 we're afraid of listing more archive formats
whilst optimized code could handle a list of ten thousands of archive
formats without any problem.
May I recall that GNU has a software called gperf for perfect hashing?
https://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/manual/gperf.html

Have a nice day, best regards,
     Laurent
