Only if you configure this copy to use something else than ~/.mc. If not, that would be my #1 feature request. Why? -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

What's wrong with cheating? It works! :) Like any good Unix software, mc relies on and can be controlled by standard environment variables. -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless /dev/rob0 or not-spam is in Subject: header ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
How to change the defaults for file highlighting?
Until very recently in the history of MC, file highlighting with Keypad-Plus highlighted only files. Now this behavior has been changed. A dialog box comes up which has a couple of useful features and one feature which from my perspective is both useless and irritating, especially since I became used to the opposite behavior for the previous ten years of constant desktop use of MC. This one [ ] Files only Since it has been decided that a dialog for this feature has to be there, is there any configuration option by which one can change the default choice to be [x] Files only instead of [ ] Files only ? If there is such an option, I have not succeeded in finding it. Theodore Kilgore ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
