Yes. This would require some common code called from open_archive() for tar, cpio and extfs filesystems. In addition to mtime, we may want to use more attributes (inode, size). I'm adding this to the TODO list for version 4.6.1. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
