Hi, Philip,
Thank you for your idea. This does keep the colors.
I rewrite it as:
function d()
{
x=`find * -type d -maxdepth 0`
[[ -n $x ]] && l -d $x
x=`find * -type l -maxdepth 0`
[[ -n $x ]] && l $x
x=`find * -type f -maxdepth 0`
[[ -n $x ]] && l $x
unset x
}
to avoid redundant output while nothing *found*. It works fine w/o
delay.
* However, I wish mutt's file browser can also improve like this to make
our life easier. :-)
best regards,
charlie
