Script usage

Papirus-folders doesn't have a GUI, but it is a fully functional command-line application with TAB-completions. Below you'll see some examples of use.

Show the current color and available colors for Papirus-Dark

papirus-folders -l --theme Papirus-Dark

Change color of folders to brown for Papirus-Dark

papirus-folders -C brown --theme Papirus-Dark

Revert to default color of folders for Papirus-Dark

papirus-folders -D --theme Papirus-Dark

Restore the last used color from a config file

papirus-folders -Ru

The last command is extremely useful for restoring color after icon theme upgrade (official installers of papirus-icon-theme and some third-party packages do this automatically).
