"material-icon-theme.folders.associations" not working from workspace settings

[clankill3r]

I added the following to my workspace settings:

    "material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
        "docker": "folder",
    }

This has no effect at all, even not after restarting.
I would really prefer some folder associations to be a workspace setting and not a user setting since in other projects, I might use docker for example.

Then a second thing, if I add the above to my user settings it works half.

Now there is no icon at all.

The workspace settings are not implemented yet (see #208), but are planned for the future, when the reload of the icons will be optimized by the VS Code API.

Regarding your issue with the invisible folder icon for docker use this, if you want to have the default folder icon:

"material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
    "docker": "",
}

over a year later and this still isn't implemented ?

Jup, it's still caused by the fact that icon themes can only be applied globally and not per workspace. This is a default behavior by vscode and cannot be changed by extension authors right now.
