Summary: Open a symlink to edit when save, erase symlink and make a new file. Project: GNU Midnight Commander Submitted by: None Submitted on: Sun 05/15/2005 at 22:19 Category: Editor Severity: 3 - Normal Status: Need Info Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Release: 4.6.0 Platform Version: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: Open a file by symlink to edit, when close to save changes, MC erase symlink and make a new file. (Erase the symlink) _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon 05/16/2005 at 14:59 By: Leonard den Ottolander <leonardjo> ? Could you provide a little more info (platform, example)? $ mcedit foo $ ln -s foo bar $ mcedit bar just edits foo for me (also tried this with 4.6.0). Or am I missing your point? ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun 05/15/2005 at 22:41 By: wwp <wwp> I do my best to avoid this behaviour in mc for years :-\ (now w/ 4.6.1-pre4a). I hope it's not by design that mc replaces an edited symlink w/ the target file when saving/editing it! _______________________________________________________ Carbon-Copy List: CC Address | Comment ------------------------------------+----------------------------- leonardjo | _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13091> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
