Edit your ~/.dircolors and put your .inp at the top (or before EXEC) and then run eval $(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)
This re-sets up the LS_COLORS env var, and that's what ls --color=auto uses
Could you explain what
dircolors -p > ~/.dircolors does?
I can't believe I didn't think to put .inp at the top either. I'll give that a shot when I get to work tomorrow. Forum usage is blocked there.
Thanks!
