Highlighting of directory names with regexp

[ulrichstefenelli]

I'm trying to highlight directory names using regexp, e.g. a directory name starting with a certain string.
I already added a section in filehighlight.ini

[directory_starting_with_abc]
type=DIR
regexp=^abc.*

Plus, I added a color in the filehighlight section of the skin, in my case I am using default.ini

[filehighlight]
directory = white;
directory_starting_with_abc=red;

However, I'm getting no effect. I's clearly working with filenames, but not with directory names. What am I missing?
Any ideas?

file type. If present, all other options are ignored.

Ok, thank you for your quick answer. As I see it, it seems not possible to colorize directories with a regular expression.

Not the way the filter system is currently set up.
