Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18767 (project mc): Thanks for the patch.
I know about "ls -U", but I think the audience of "ls" and "mc" might be a little bit different. For the "ls" command it might be considered as a filesystem debug option, or an option that can speed up scripts where the order isn't important and there are a lot of files in a directory, or ls is invoked many times. MC is rather a user-oriented, interactive application with much more overhead (e.g. always stat()s all the files) which implies that a little bit of extra overhead (sorting) is not a big issue, and it's definitely faster if mc sorts the filenames than if the user finds the requested file in an unsorted list. And I don't think anyone interested in the filesystem order would use mc, they'd use ls. Anyway, it's not an important issue at all, I was just interested in others' opinions. Of course I don't mind if this option remains there, even though I can't see use of it. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18767> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
