However, when I press Ctrl-Space on a directory, to calculate the size of the whole tree that lies under there, I'd still like to have the size displayed. Currently using "bsize" makes it impossible to use "Show Directory Sizes". I'm testing in MC 4.8.3. </pre> Krzysztof Trybowski 2012-05-16T09:32:49 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.mc.general/3790 <pre>Hi, In Total Commander there is a very handy feature: with backspace you can quickly jump to the parent directory. It'd be nice if this feature were added to MC too. If the bottom command line is empty and backspace is pressed, it could be interpreted this way. Or is there another shortcut for going back to parent? Pressing Home + Enter is 2 keys :) Thanks, Laszlo _______________________________________________ mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc </pre> Jabba Laci 2012-05-16T06:01:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.mc.general/3777 <pre>Hi, I upgraded my mc from source to 4.8.1.3 and it behaves a bit differently. When I open mc from a directory, this current directory is shown in the left panel. Since previous versions opened the current folder on the right side, it feels awkward now. I always focus on the right side :) How can I change this behaviour? Thanks, Laszlo _______________________________________________ mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc </pre> Jabba Laci 2012-05-09T20:43:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.mc.general/3772 <pre>I have recently updated to version 4.8.1.3 on max OSX using macports and ftp no longer works properly. Connections seem to work but changing directories often fails, and am having all kinds of erratic behavior. I have seen this on more than one server. In one case I had a system adminstrator on the phone with me and he was seeing all kinds of weird things, like the wrong user or user ID being submitted. Is anyone else seeing problems like this? I am deeply troubled. MC has been exclusively and reliably been my FTP client for over 10 years and it is now pretty much useless for such. </pre> Tim Johnson 2012-05-09T00:24:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.mc.general/3762 <pre>I'm using mc 4.8.1 (Debian wheezy) and 4.7.0.6 (Debian squeeze), and I can't seem to get the following to launch in mc: # xoj regex/\.xoj$ Open=xournal %f &amp; View=xournal %f &amp; In squeeze, when I hit ENTER the mc window just blinks, but doesn't launch Xournal. In wheezy, when I hit ENTER it opens the .xoj file in more, which again, isn't launching it in Xournal. I've made sure to save mc.ext or bindings, exited and restarted mc, and my results don't change. I created another extension, and it seems to be OK: # kdb regex/\.kdb$ Open=keepassx %f &amp; View=keepassx %f &amp; And it seems to work OK. I can use the shell within mc ("xournal %f", and it does the right thing), so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. _______________________________________________ mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc </pre> Trey Blancher 2012-05-01T02:01:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.mc.general/3754 <pre>I think its great that its there, but is there way way to turn it off other than starting mc with mc -d? Most often I'm just clicking in a window to give the window the focus, and at least once a day I click the wrong place and mess up the sort order. I try to not click column headings anymore, but it still changes. An option to disable this in settings would work best for me.

First let me say that I just found MC and I feel like it's Christmas! It does exactly what I want and always available because it works in an ssh terminal so thanks to anyone on this list who is a developer. My question is about background processing. This is what brought me to MC because I do a lot of large copies. I can't find any information on how it is supposed to behave though. Do the background moves and copes detach themselves from the terminal session, or is there a way to? I have MC running on Fedora and I've been trying to experiment and not getting consistent results. In some cases I close MC when I have some copies going and they keep going, in other cases they stop. A couple times they stopped while i had MC running. I was also left with [defunt] processes. Could someone tell me how it works for them? Perhaps it would help me figure this out, or if it is even working properly. Thanks! _______________________________________________ mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc </pre> Gene Horodecki 2012-04-18T23:14:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.mc.general/3746 <pre>c, while retaining the proven classical design principles of nc, has evolved to almost an emacs-like tool. And as such should be collecting a library of user designed apps. I've got some, and other users will have some which we should share. There needs to be a pool. Is there a wiki, or something suitable? One simple app 'hooks' into the &lt;formatter/indenter&gt; via shift/F9 to fix USEnet etc. cited lines which look like:- to give: simply [IIRC] by: &lt;remove all "&gt;&gt;" | replace EOL by space | fold at word-break with single space between words | prepend leading "&gt;&gt;" It's just 2 lines of existing filters piped together. Another one which is astounding, is just 2 lines of `awk`, which will eg. list [in panelised mode, for long paths] the, say 20 files with path-perfectly-corresponding-to-physical- location of physical items [typically paper documents], per specified clasification. Example: If I want to know the location of all my papers related to [one of many] topics 'Legal', I just 'select pLegal; and I get the list of /path/file, where eg. /Ofs7/Cabnt3/DrawMid/GrnHF/Dog means the document called 'Dog' is located in: Office7, FilingCabinet3, MiddleDraw, greenHangFile. When you need to know which of the docos re. 'Legal' has the info re. X, you'll have your list of 20 [say] files describing the contents of the 'Legal' papers. F3, immediately gives you a view of the file describing the document/booklet's contents. Because the file-dir is perfectly isomorphic to real-space, if you eg. move the filingCabinet to /TheMoon/StoreRoom then `mc`just `moves` the corresponding sub-dir. ----------- There's one problem: if you remove 4 docos, for a meeting; after the meeting, the system lacks a method of knowing where to replace the papers to. Who's got a solution to that? ------------------------------ Here's another app that we need. Again the &lt;formatter via Shift/F9&gt; passes a text-section and it's file to the script, which needs to: * look in the text-section for "["&lt;number&gt;"]" * search down for the FIRST line containing "&lt;number&gt;&lt;space&gt;"." * append the rest of that line to &lt;File&gt;. This is for automagically extracting URL from lynx/links, instead of manually cutNpaste. for eg, the http-fetched text, looking like:- " ..the text with corresponding link number [26] has the URL below ....many lines....before the numbered URL is listed .... 26. http://&lt;url of corresponding text&gt; ------------- But I'm having problems with the regex for "["&lt;number&gt;"]" Who's got a solution to that?

Why is that? Is there a way to make it work? I could not find the answer in the man page and googling did not help. Also in a forked shell the mouse does not work with mc, is that the same reason?
