Files created with bzip3 don't color correctly

[saltedcoffii]

If exa does something unexpected, or its output looks wrong, or it displays an error on the screen, or if it outright crashes, then please include the following information in your report:

$ exa --version
exa - list files on the command-line
v0.10.1 [+git]
https://the.exa.website/

• No command line operators
• Arch Linux x86-64 rolling

Files created with bzip3 don't highlight correctly like other compressed archives. See the attached image:

Are you not using dircolors? Make a file for dircolors to form the LS_COLORS environment variable to set colours for every filetype that you want.

ah okay. I didn't know exa used the LS_COLORS variable. I'll open an issue with coreutils. Closing this issue, it can be marked as invalid if need be.

Before applying LS_COLORS or EXA_COLORS, documented in man 5 exa_colors, exa uses its own colors. So I’m re-opening this, because I think that exa should support bz3 for colors and icons.

For looking to add this, here’s the code where bz3 should be added:

exa/src/info/filetype.rs

Line 82 in e385cd5

"zip", "tar", "Z", "z", "gz", "bz2", "a", "ar", "7z",

exa/src/output/icons.rs

Lines 126 to 128 in e385cd5

	"bz" => '\u{f410}', // 
	"bz2" => '\u{f410}', // 
	"c" => '\u{e61e}', // 

Closing this, since exa is unmaintained (see #1243), and this has been done in the active fork eza. Thanks anyway!
