Hi, My name is Iago I'm from Brazil and I live on an Island.

I use every day the vscode-material-icon-theme.

I just want to understand if there is any way of using folder association icons to prefix with some folder names:

E.g.:
Folders:
B2CGNIpanema - xxx
B2CGNRest - yyy
B2CGNRest - yyy

To use some kind of regular expression to only apply to the folders that have these:

"material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
"config": "config",
"js": "javascript",
"less": "less",
},
"material-icon-theme.folders.color": "#00ff00",

Coloring the folders that prefix with:
B2CGNIpanema -

Something like this:

• File associations
  With the *.[extension] pattern you can define custom file icon associations. For example you could define an icon for *.sample and every file that ends with .sample will have the defined icon. Use **.[extension] with two asterisks to apply the file association also for the filenames ending with that file extension.

If there's no leading * it will be automatically configured as filename and not as file extension.

"material-icon-theme.files.associations": {
"*.ts": "typescript",
"fileName.ts": "angular"
}

[ but for folder associations ]

Also if the folder has space in it, the customization should does work?

Hi @iagokrt no unfortunately it does not work, it's not supported by this extension. I can check if it's an API restriction of VS Code itself or if it can be fixed inside of the code. Generally, I would not recommend having spaces in folders at all because it often leads to issues running something on the CLI for example. The issue with prefixing something is not working for folders at all, which is due to API restrictions by VS Code - i.e. it's not possible to implement something like this. I hope that the API allows more features like that soon.
