In the other panel I've pressed Enter on the archive. The output in both panels is the same. I am using MC from CVS. I suggest you to try a MC snapshot and if that doesn't help report the exact commands that you've used to create the archive which fools MC. I tried MC snapshot. It works! It shows correct archive layout. Thank you. I'm sorry for wasting your time and bandwidth. ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
archives
MC shows list of files in large (a few tens of MB) gzipped/bzip2'ed tar archives with multi-level directory structure incorrectly. When archive contains only one root folder, MC shows directories from other levels, as it were to be root folders. It doesn't affect other archive operations. File list in real root folder is shown correctly. File list of non-root folders, been accessed from root list, is shown incorrectly too (only part of its contents). Besides that, in fact, when entering to archives, MC just decompress it into temporary file. Therefore, if uncompressed size of files is more than /tmp space, operation is ended with an error. 'tar tvf' is much faster. Is it possible to use it when entering to archives instead of decompressing? ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

There are two places to look: the choice of terminal description, and possibly a very old version of slang. It's more likely the terminal description, e.g., using something like xterm-color, which is almost always incorrect. I've written unclearly a bit. XTerm background color doesn't actually change. MC fills out on exit entire XTerm window by black solid blocks except bottom line and prompt symbols. After running 'clear' colour of all the symbols becomes normal. ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

calculate directory size
I have a suggestion again: calculation of directory size on pressing F3 and/or on marking directory, maybe as an option. Many file managers have this feature. I'd like to see it in Midnight Commander too. I don't mind entering my request in the bug database. ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
view like 'tail -f'
Suggestion: modify the internal viewer so that it can act like 'tail -f'. ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
