Hello, I'm a relatively new user of Midnight Commander. I have recently started using it as my only file manager, as I find other file managers too cluttered or too interwinded with desktop environments.
One feature I like about MC is "quick view" (C-x q), or the ability to use one of the panes to quickly preview files. However, I have noticed that it doesn't work as well as the file viewer (F3). Some examples: - When quick view is open, hovering on some types of files (especially zip files and derivatives such as epub, docx, jar) results in a big red popup that needs a keypress to be dismissed, and then their content is not displayed - Some of the files that ca be successfully rendered in the viewer (e.g. HTML, images*, PDF) show up as plain text/binary dumped as ASCII instead in quick view - Directories show the string "Cannot view: not a regular file" but it might be a good feature to show the contents, or maybe a short description of it ("X images, Y documents") - I've probably encountered more but I think those are the main ones *as a side note, for some reason, I can't get images to show in the viewer; I have taken a look at images.sh and installed geeqie as required by the script, but it seems like nothing is happening. I am happy to work on these items myself, if the maintainer(s) of the project could confirm that it would be welcome, and compatibly with my university commitments. Riccardo P.
