Create a Layout enum about lsd

[loewenheim]

I read through the linked #29, but in my tests, lsd currently behaves exactly like ls and exa. Am I missing something?

Hi @loewenheim ,

Nop, you'r missing nothing but the idea was to let the user the possibility to choose the display direction and so propose the same behavior than colorls which go sidewise.

That said I'm not sure that this feature is really necessary...

[loewenheim]

I see. In preparation for this issue, I’ve implemented an enum Layout that controls how the output is displayed:

enum Layout {
    Grid,
    Line,
    Long,
    Tree,
}

Is this of interest indepently of this issue?

[Peltoche]

What do you call Line?

[loewenheim]

Line is what the -1 option produces.

[Peltoche]

It seems a good idea. What do you think of OneLine instead of Line? Like log format (--oneline).

[Peltoche]

After some reflexions I think that the Long value should not be inside the layout enum. For me it is more a rule used to define which meta we should display about a file than a layout. For now the Long rule is only displayed with the Line (or OneLine) Layout but it will not be necessary the case later. For example the exa command is able to print the Long output with a Grid Layout: exa -lG.

That makes perfect sense.
