Understanding Skins

[selefotsifem]

Hello,

I try to understand the concept of color-mapping in skins, especially the section [filehighlight].
I wish to understand how single entries in the panel are mapped to one of the defined files.
Especially, how for example extensions are mapped to "graph" or "database" the precedence of attributes like symlink over such groups.
However I am unable to find the corresponding sections in the code. My understanding is, that the ini-file is read by lib/filehighlight/ini-file-read.c. There I find this code:

mc/lib/filehighlight/ini-file-read.c

Lines 69 to 76 in 0ce2220

	const gchar *types[] = {
	"FILE", "FILE_EXE", //
	"DIR", "LINK_DIR", //
	"LINK", "HARDLINK", "SYMLINK", "STALE_LINK", //
	"DEVICE", "DEVICE_BLOCK", "DEVICE_CHAR", //
	"SPECIAL", "SPECIAL_SOCKET", "SPECIAL_FIFO", "SPECIAL_DOOR", //
	NULL,
	};

However, when I am looking to the skins I see the following attributes:

mc/misc/skins/default.ini

Lines 58 to 73 in 0ce2220

	[filehighlight]
	directory = white;
	executable = brightgreen;
	symlink = lightgray;
	hardlink =
	stalelink = brightred;
	device = brightmagenta;
	special = black;
	core = red;
	temp = gray;
	archive = brightmagenta;
	doc = brown;
	source = cyan;
	media = green;
	graph = brightcyan;
	database = brightred;

The two list of types don't match. And till now, I was unable to find, where the mappings to e.g. "database" is done. By watching a running my I see, that extensions like .dat or .sql are highlited with the database attributes. But where this happens in the code?

Is there anybody, who can give me some hints, where I can find the corresponding code?

Thanks in advance
