Lsd: Missing space between icon and folder name

[andys8]

Expected behavior

Space between icon and folder name

Actual behavior

There is no space between icon and folder name. Both overlap a bit.

Is this an expected change?

I can confirm that this has come up between versions 16.0 and 17.0 for me as well.

I suspect the change from 2 spaces to 1 for one line is causing this behavior.

Over the past history this has changed some times. But with a single space there will be a problem with double width fonts. Will a change to 2 spaces be accepted and merged?

+1 for more spacing

This looks odd compared to colorls (coloring aside)

Over at exa they introduced EXA_ICON_SPACING

Now that we have support for config file, I guess we could add this as a config option icon_spacing.

This should now be available via https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/pull/469 once 0.20.0 release lands.
