If so, then that's great. We can all be happy. Yes, from now on you should be able to specify a default of your liking in the ini-file. Yuri, Thanks. Now if someone can specify exactly which code version this is and exactly where to get it? Theodore Kilgore ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc

OK with me whichever one it is. Just point me in the right direction. I guess it should be in -pre4 tarball already, but, of course, in latest master git branch as well. The thing is, we all have to specialize. I am more or less a consumer of what you are producing, though, I hope, a somewnat informed one. I am no better informed than you, I'm not a coder, but rather a packager. I've just searched the trac, git and the source code to gather this information for you. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

I guess I am not out of the woods, yet. Two things:
1. I updated the git tree, re-compiled, and re-installed. No problem about
that. But then I looked in my ini file, and I see no such option as
select_flags =
The only thing which comes up when searching the file for select is
editor_persistent_selections=1
which would seem quite irrelevant.
OK, so I thought perhaps extreme measures ought to be tried. I downloaded
a clean copy of the git tree, and I did make uninstall on the old one and
did make install on the new one. Then, on trying to make it work, I got an
error message, that /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh can not be found. So
apparently there is some funny business with the installer not putting a
crucial file where it is supposed to be.
Fortunately, I have a Slackware tarball of an older version which works,
so I am not left entirely without one of my favorite programs.
In any event, I could never find out how to enable the specific feature we
have been discussing. Finding the lines in the code which you quoted
earlier were not a big help in that regard.
Thus, not much progress, I am sorry to say.

Precisely to which version of the code does this patch pertain? I see there 4.70 and 4.70-pre4 mc-4.7.0-pre4 was released before 11/18/2009. You should use the snapshot of current git master branch or just wait for a week (or two) for final 4.7.0 release. 2. How will things be different after the patch, exactly? What happens right now is: First time I open MC and do a highlighting, it by default marks everything, including directories. Then I have to tick the box for Files only, and it gets remembered for the entire session. I mean, if I later on do a highlighting again, my previous choice is remembered, though not recorded anywhere that I can find. So from what I understand you have now made this more permanent by providing a tie-in to the ini file? Yes. If option Auto save setup is off, ~/.mc/ini file will not be rewritten after quit from mc, and your settings will be stored permanently. -- Andrew. ___ 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
