This works for ls
BLOCK_SIZE='1 ls -lAF

is there any way to have the same in mc?

printf has the ' flag that supposedly does this, but it doesn't
seem well supported. It's locale dependent and doesn't work on
my system.

BLOCK_SIZE='1 ls -lAF also doesn't work on my system.

Also, it would take up extra columns in the panel. Maybe with big
screen it would be OK, but I'm only 1024x768. The columns are
precious. I don't even use vertical separator bars between the fields
in my panels.

The file size field seems to be limited to 7 characters, after that it
goes 123456K or 123456M.

We are already short of space. Your example uses 2 extra chars.
Chasing eye-candy ruined many projects.
Just get/keep the basics right.
Appreciate how long the clasical design of  Norton cmdr has survived/thrived!

 Hello,

 I am wondering whether it is possible to display the file size in midnight
 commander (in the size column) with a thousand separator (i.e. 1,234,567).

 This works for ls
 BLOCK_SIZE='1 ls -lAF

 and I find it very convenient and human friendly.

 is there any way to have the same in mc?
