v1.7.9 update causes multiple files under git version control to change to the modified color when only one file is edited

Previous discussion here: #341

Alright, could you open your installed version of File-Icons and make this change?

I just want to make doubly sure this is the catalyst, because I'm still at a loss as to why I can't replicate it.

[AriaFallah]

@Alhadis that did it. Let me see if I can reproduce in another project except this one.

[AriaFallah]

It happens if I modify a file in the src directory of this project: https://github.com/AriaFallah/mobx-store

Could you try cloning it and see if you can reproduce there?

[Alhadis]

Heh, nope... nothing. :|

At least my hunch about e93cbf5 was right. Will address this by individually targeting every icon that uses the .medium-yellow swatch and assigning the darker colour there.

You'll notice we can't simply do .status-modified .medium-yellow, because .medium-yellow is a Less mixin, and not a class that's actually applied to the file's tree-view entry. :D I LUV PRECOMPILERZ <3 <3 #noNotReally

This is another reason I'm looking forward to releasing v2.

[AriaFallah]

Ah shucks. Well good luck! I'm not sure why you can't reproduce 😕

[Alhadis]

Neither am I. When I'm done, I'll need you to help verify the changes work. So, don't go too far. :p

[Alhadis]

Alright... I've pushed what I hope is a fix. Run the following in your shell, please:

git clone https://github.com/DanBrooker/file-icons.git ~/.atom/dev/packages/file-icons
atom -d your/project/path/here

That'll open the folder in Atom using development mode.

Let me know if this fixes the issue. It should, but I'd prefer to be sure.

[AriaFallah]

I also did rm -rf ~/.atom/packages/file-icons to be doubly sure that I was using the git cloned one, but it still is not working 😢

Here is a sad short story documenting the issue: https://streamable.com/0laq. As you can see, I'm terrible at making sad faces, and all the files still change color when I save the changes to just one of them.

[Alhadis]

The hell. Does this happen with any other repository, or just this one...?

[AriaFallah]

@Alhadis All repos unfortunately. For the time being, I'm fine with using 1.7.8 forever 😅 don't worry about it too much.

[Alhadis]

Well, when v2 gets released (hopefully sooner rather than later), you'll definitely want to update. :p And other users might be affected by this, not just you (so I'd prefer this does get fixed).

[Alhadis]

Honestly, I think the easiest thing to do is simply revert the fix for #341 after all. All of this trouble's being caused just by adjusting a certain shade of orange to be more noticeable when it's modified.

[Alhadis]

@AriaFallah, I've published a patch release. Please let me know if this happens again.

[AriaFallah]

Thanks!
