colored ls

[waxranger]

hello readers

I use a .dircolorsrc in $HOME to define color schemes in the terminal using dircolors. I wonder why some files do not show up with the specified color after I opened a new shell. That is, if I create a new file, e.g. with emacs, it has the correct color, but if there is a file that was previously in a directory it does not have the correct color. Some of these files were created on a windows OS, e.g. a .pdf file, has this something to do with it?

Best,
Fab

hello,

files that are copied from fat or ntfs partitions usually (always?) have execution flag turned on, so they are colored like programs in output of ls.

run: chmod a-x file_name
