Enabling colourisation of tree output requires forcing

[davidjb]

I'm using the latest sidebar from Git and finding that the output in the sidebar isn't coloured, whereas if I run tree (version 1.7.0) directly, it is coloured. I added:

set -g @sidebar-tree-command 'tree -C'

to my tmux.conf and now it's forcing coloured output, which works in the sidebar. I'm not sure what the difference here is; apparently tree considers $LS_COLORS, which is already set in my environment.

Is this a bug / should coloured output be the standard? If not, I'd suggest adding the config line to the FAQs.

Hey,
please check here on why we reverted colored tree output to plain one. In short, a user might choose another pager (example view) that can't interpret ansi color codes and he/she might think it's a bug.

Yes, adding a config line to FAQ in the readme is welcome. Just please make sure to mention the above limitation.

Thanks

Thanks for the background, got it now. I'll open a PR shortly!
