Sad, I'm not subscribed to the list anymore because of some internal problems for a couple of weeks so I must have missed that one otherwise I would have complained *loudly* about it. Please forgive if I complain now. > > prefs. I used to use it that way for many years now and Now the first > > entry is /bin here no topmost /.. or /. to push. > > I don't understand.

Well, first of all I really like to have that feature back or at least an option in prefs to enable it again. Well how to explain the "problem" it's more a feel and use for a bunch of years and I find it totally annyoing how it is now it's not the way how I used to use it anymore. >From the filesystem point of view you know when you do a 'ls -l' you see . .. blahdir2 blahdir3 file1 file2 It's a known filesystem behaviour which got removed now. If you enter cd .. then you get put back one dir, If you enter 'cd .' you get directory changed and refreshed into the same dir e.g. if you removed a dir with MC and on another terminal you are still in the dir and you unpack the dir again then doing an 'ls -l' will give you no output. you need to refresh the dir you can either cd completyl into the dir again from root or you simply enter 'cd .' that was the SAME purpose and meaning in MC. here a practical example - open 2 dirs with MC - now open another terminal in the console and remove one dir completely (from the dir you see in mc) - MC didn't updated this dir. - the usual correct way to refresh this dir is either 'refresh it form menu or shortkey' or moving with the cursor to the top of the dir (usually homekey or screen up) and press return on the '/..' or '/.' bar. It will rescan the dir and refresh the output and shows me the dir removed. Now as is I need to go inside of /bin /dev or any other dir and go out again to see the Dir changed or need to press refresh. So you basically cut some of the features of a correct directory management by implementing that patch. So I really like to ask you to remove that patch again or make it optional in the prefs e.g. 'Showing topmost dot in Root' or something but removing it completely is wrong and not well thought. Please put it back in again. Thank you. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ihre eigene Internet-Seite!
