Future Plans

This page includes the project TODO list.

Open a GitHub issue to suggest another feature or improvement.

TODO

• add colorization for different file types, folders and symlinks. Make it customizable and theme-able. Make it default but allow an option to disable it (or vice-versa). Files that have a known extension should all be colored the same way, and different to unknown file tipes.
• Add icons for partials like TODO.*, LICENSE.* and more - brands like claude, codex, vscode and more where the nerdfont exists
• using the config file, allow extending the existing file and folder mapping, or deleting specific maps.
• add a -R flag to recursively list files in a directory.
• When adding recursion or tree-style output, revisit whether directory traversal should move over to the ignore crate instead of the current custom walker.
• better handle dotfiles?
• option to list dotfiles (and folders) before non-dotfiles
• Investigate an optional name-shortening mode for very long filenames that preserves extensions without changing the default wrap behavior.
• Consider separating config-loaded values from effective runtime params so merge behavior is more explicit than the current shared Params type.
• Extend human-readable size units beyond petabytes so exabyte-scale values render as E instead of large P multiples.
• Review src/lib.rs and crate/module visibility. Keep the current out-of-source unit test layout, but reduce the accidental public library API for this app crate where modules/items do not need to be exported.
• Continue shifting tests toward behavior-focused checks at module seams (app, settings, render) instead of broad smoke-style coverage.
