Well, yes: http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3767 > or we'll have two crowds discussing this independently and therefore > wasting their time. In fact, that was more a help request than a bug report: I really can't make sense of that menu item, so I think there's nothing much to "discuss", rather to explain what the menu command is supposed to do. Anyway, I did my homework and had a look at the source. The menu item is defined in src/filemanager/midnight.c and calls CK_Panelize, which calls cd_panelize_cmd(), defined in src/filemanager/panelize.c, which calls do_panelize_cd() (defined in the same file). Unfortunately I don't know enough C and the mc codebase to understand what do_panelize_cd() actually does, and there are no comments in the source code. :( So I browsed the trac history of src/filemanager/panelize.c and found that do_panelize_cd() was introduced in this commit: http://midnight-commander.org/changeset/5c252726f1b52863a75b0118603a0e053923eded which claims to fix this bug: http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/275 The discussion in the ticket deals almost uniquely with adding a ".." entry to the panelized panel list, to get out of panelized mode; no references to the "Panelize" Left/Right menu entry. The commit message for the commit linked above in fact claims: "added menu entry Left\Panelize, to restore panelized panel" but I still can't understand what "restore panelized panel" means (indeed: all that command seems to do is to show an empty panelized panel). So that's all the information I could squeeze from the source and trac. I hope some developer can have a look at http://midnight-commander.org/browser/src/filemanager/panelize.c and explain what cd_panelize_cmd() and do_panelize_cd() do.
