-- The F4 (search and replace) routine is not working as it used to do. ... snip.. ( ) proMpt on replace ( ) replace All - Yes I've only started to use that lately. For my version the 2 toggles [via mouse] are independant, although the concepts are not: if all are to be replaced, you can't be prompted ? - Search is not preserved during one mc session from one file to the next (this also is the case if you opened the files with F4 (edit) as well as with F3 (view)). --- Is a 'session' from boot to logout ? How many mc's would you have running, for a session of 3 days and 3+ 3+ 3 = 9 hours ? I had confusion, that F2-menu-update seemed not preserved. But found that some mcS were using 'local' and others were using 'system-wide' *.mnu. BTW I'm amazed at the silence on my query of how to quickly see which of the possibly 20 or more different panels, is [alredy] set to a [newly become important] dir-path. Don't other users have 20 panels open ? An elaborate processing of output of 'lsof ps *' would only give the active panels of each mc-pair, leaving the in-active half unknown. So what I'm using is: = when I change dir I [should be disciplined to] do: F2 / p which prompts for 'Desktop VT' pair, and for input 22, writes eg. 22 /mnt/cdrom/Legal/TLC/PreApr09 /mnt/cdrom/Inet/Panelizeto a file. Entering '0' clears the file. = at any stage executing 'P' displays the file, so that the 3-line entry above means that if I want to access the dir [I consider them like objects-of-OOD] 'Panelize' or 'TLC/PreApr09' I know that 'the book is aready open there: Dskptop2, VT2 !! With mc's existing facilities this whole 'tracking system' requires just a few characters of programming. mc allows truely highest-level programming !? == Chris Glur. ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc

( ) proMpt on replace ( ) replace All - Yes I've only started to use that lately. It can be a very handy thing. For my version the 2 toggles [via mouse] are independant, although the concepts are not: if all are to be replaced, you can't be prompted ? Exactly. Why *can't* you be prompted if you want to be? Suppose you know you have 20 to 30 specimens of what you want to search/replace in a piece of code. Suppose you know that somewhere in the middle of that code if you do the particular replacement blindly, it will cause problems. All one wants to do is to be able to look at the occurrences one at a time and decide on each occasion. It seems that functionality is gone now. - Search is not preserved during one mc session from one file to the next (this also is the case if you opened the files with F4 (edit) as well as with F3 (view)). --- Is a 'session' from boot to logout ? No, one VT or one xterm, say. I mean, log in or open the xterm, start mc inside of it. That is what I mean by one session. I would assume that if one closes mc and opens it again then any such settings as what to search for would be gone bye-bye? How many mc's would you have running, for a session of 3 days and 3+ 3+ 3 = 9 hours ? Eek. I usually do not run the computer for three days, except for my office machine which is a server. And I do not walk off from that one and leave myself logged in. Theodore Kilgore ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
