Re: disabling F4 opening large files
I have tried following, but that does not have any effect:
include/video
Open=([ $(id -u) != 0 ] [ $DISPLAY ] mplayer %f
/dev/null 21 )
View=%view{ascii} mediainfo %f
Edit=
When I click F4 on a video file, mc still tries to open in in my text
editor. What am I doing wrong?
Martin,
I can not comment about what you are doing wrong but what I understand
about F4 is that it is supposed to open the raw file, whatever it is. This
means to look into what is inside the file, for the purpose of editing it
or otherwise seeing what is really there. That means if for example it is
a binary file then one may be privileged to see plain text or, possibly, a
bunch of hex numbers in a nice rectangular array. One might keep in mind
that this is exactly what some people want to see, and they are glad to
have a convenient way to do that.
Theodore,
I have no doubt some people can find it useful.
However, I don't need to edit raw mpeg or mp3 files, and I would like to
have f4 selectively disabled.
I am not arguing whether this functionality is useful or not, I was just
asking this list whether there is na option to configure it.
It the answer is not, this is hardcoded, then so be it.
thanks,
Martin

of course, I have matching pattern like this (I just left it out for the

Sadly, I don't think so, it seems to be hardcoded in panel.c, see: /* Check if the file is executable */ If you don't want to patch, then you can try setting empty Open for type of binaries and scripts, which is imperfect, but might be good enough. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

disabling F4 opening large files
Dear list, when I press F4, midnight opens selected file in my editor. This happens for all files, even for video, mp3, iso image,... This obviously makes no sense. Is there a way to disable F4 for specified files ? in mc.ext, I see only the binding for F3 and ENTER Open= View= Which brings me to my second point: Is it possible to disable executing an executable when pressed ENTER ? many thanks, Martin ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
