how to compare folders recursively ?

2011-10-06 Thread Thomas
Hello,

I'm a new french user of mc since some week. That's why my english is not
good.
I have a question that remains unanswered.
I'd like to compare two directories but mc list the differences at the root
of the two folders. Whereas I want to make it recursively !
Mc allows it this type of compare ? If yes, how to make it ?

Thank for your aid.

I use a program called kdiff3 for doing this.

http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/

It's designed for just this purpose, and I use it to 
compare directories, like after buring a data DVD/CD, 
comparing config files, and other things like that.


Kind Regards,

 Why the HECK you removed rename functionality from F5/F6?!!
 What idiot decided to change the F5/F6 window to not show the file name!!!
 I've just updated MC after many years to see that developers are destroying
 this gem!

I don't understand what you're talking about.

 GNU Midnight Commander 4.7.5.3
 
 Downloading a patch from bugzilla/mozilla gives a file with the name
 attachment.cgi?id=564208. My build script requires, that a patch begins
 with 'patch'. Trying a rename to patch_attachment.cgi?id=564208 with mc
 results in patch_attachment.cgiattachment.cgi?id=564208id=564208
 
 Steps to reproduce:
 mkdir mc-test
 cd mc-test
 touch attachment.cgi?id=564208
 mc
 Point to this file, press F6, type the letter a then ESC then TAB, press
 Home, then patch_ and then the button OK.

Yes, I confirm this bug. Special chars like ? should be escaped while
autocompletion file names. Would you create a ticket in midnight-commander.org?
Shift-F6 works as expected.

Hm, the PM arrived earlier and was already answered. I will copy my

Too complicated. I do not see an explanation how to file a bug there and
searching the wiki leads to

| Creating a custom report requires a comfortable knowledge of SQL.

Well, i do know nothing about SQL. *g* It would be nice if you could
open a ticket by yourself.
