Colorizer not operational

[bearcatsandor]

I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong here, but as you can see by the screenshot attached, i'm not getting css colors.

Would you mind taking a look in case someone else may be having a similar issue or there is a conflict with another plugin that needs to be reported?

My config is pasted at https://gist.github.com/bearcatsandor/79d8fe5c0bd51bc506d2e06203e792d3

Colorizer is loaded according to :scriptnames

Thank you

it does not work automatically all by itself. Please read the help.

Almost every plugin that i've encountered doesn't need anything more than to load it, to make it do something.

Since you've had two bugs on this (and will probably get more), i suggest putting something along the lines of the following under Usage in the readme.md:

To activate for all file types (not recommended), place :let g:colorizer_auto_color = 1 into your vimrc.

To activate for selected file types (ex. html and css), place :let g:colorizer_auto_filetype='css,html' into your vimrc.

Yes, and that is what it does. It is readily available and provides a couple of commands. The reason it does not color automatically, is, that I wanted it to be readily available for any filetype, no matter what. But at the same time, do not want impact performance to much, when it is not needed. Therefore, I created a version, that will do what you want. You just have to tell it to do it.

And I actually prefer it that way, than having to think about all different autocommands needed to have it work magically for - well which filetype exactly? Type :Color and press and you can see all commands available with this plugin. I consider this a feature.

You mean, nobody is reading the help anymore? There is a reason I provide documentation with my plugin. It should always be the first look after installing a plugin to understand how it works and what it actually does. That is also what the readme says:

Once installed, take a look at the Colorizer help at :h Colorizer

And yes, it is a strange coincident, that this is the second bugreport about not reading the documentation within a couple of days, while all the years before, every user did not encounter it.

PR appreciated.
