Vim-devicons: Support vimfiler in explorer mode?

[Leeiio]

Now i found vim-devicons support vimfiler only when use :VimFiler but not :VimFilerExplorer, so do you have a plan to support it?
Thanks!

So I figured this out :smile:

Would you prefer the icons column before or after the files (type) ?

[Leeiio]

I prefer before the files(type) :)
It's more intuitive.

[ryanoasis]

@Leeiio Sure.. actually I can make it configurable

[ryanoasis]

I decided to remove the 'type' column as it is redundant when VimDevIcons are present.

Customization/configuration of the columns could be added later if there is enough demand. For now I think this does what you want.

[Leeiio]

Nice! Thank you!

If it's easy to realize, I would prefer the option to put the icons right in front of the filename. The nerdtree layout seems way clearer.
Especially in the explorer mode the icons are simply to far away from the name to be helpful.

glad I found this issue! I was curious about a way to put icons in front of the filename.. any chance that can happen!? : )

[ryanoasis]

@asilvadesigns Yeah we could add an option for that.

[asilvadesigns]

@ryanoasis do you drink coffee? If so, I would sponsor at least a few cups of some good beans.

[ryanoasis]

@asilvadesigns Haha yeah I do sometimes :smile: Thanks! that's very kind but totally not necessary :blush: that being said I won't turn down anything that supports the project (even indirectly).. I just wouldn't know how to handle such things to be honest :blush:

Honestly VimDevicons hasn't been getting as much love as Nerd Fonts lately but I'll probably try to cobble together a release for December :smile: and this could be included without too much effort (there is already 1 open PR ready to go).
