Allow path glob or regex in associations

Hello!

I have a workspace with 2 dirs, client (Nuxt, Vue) and server (NestJS). I want to control each dir icons settings from the workspace's settings ( .vscode/settings.json).

So I tried this:

{
  "material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
    "client/src/stores": "pinia-store", 
  },
  "material-icon-theme.files.associations": {
    "server/src/**/*.controller.ts": "angular-controller"
  },
  "material-icon-theme.activeIconPack": "none"
}

(Added the pinia-store icon from another extension 😁)
The files.association for all the *.controller.ts files in any dir inside server/src is not working.
The folders.association for the stores dir inside client/src is not working.

It only works like this:

 {
"material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
    "stores": "pinia-store",
  },
  "material-icon-theme.files.associations": {
    "*.controller.ts": "angular-controller"
  },
}

But it affects both dirs.

Alternative

Yes, I can open both dirs as separate VSCode Workspaces, and have one with vue Icon Pack and the other with nest Icon Pack.
But having to switch between VSCode windows is cumbersome.
