Hi, I have used mc for years and can't live without it. :)
I recently updated to mc 4.7.0-pre1 so I can see what's new and the first thing I noticed was now directories are marked as part of -/+/* operations by default. For - and + there is a "Files Only" checkbox, but I can find no such thing for *. I have three questions: 1) Can I make "Files Only" checkbox remember its setting? 2) Is there a setting to toggle whether * marks dirs? 3) Or maybe a global "Files Only" to make -/+/* behave like previous MC? I also realize it's a -pre1 so maybe the options related to this new functionality simply don't exist (yet) or are not in the UI. I often use the Compare Directories function to compare files in two directories, which marks the differences. In my case I actually want to find the duplicates, so I would press * in one panel to invert the selection and press F8 to delete the duplicate files... now it selects the duplicates along with every subdirectory (since they were not marked as part of the compare operation). It's not a big deal but if there are many subdirectories it can take a while to un-mark them (since there is no "Directories only" option in -/+ that I can find). If you need more info, or if I should create a ticket instead, please let me know. Thanks for the great work! _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
