[bug #18767] Panel sort order: fallback to name
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18767 (project mc): Thanks for the patch. I know about ls -U, but I think the audience of ls and mc might be a little bit different. For the ls command it might be considered as a filesystem debug option, or an option that can speed up scripts where the order isn't important and there are a lot of files in a directory, or ls is invoked many times. MC is rather a user-oriented, interactive application with much more overhead (e.g. always stat()s all the files) which implies that a little bit of extra overhead (sorting) is not a big issue, and it's definitely faster if mc sorts the filenames than if the user finds the requested file in an unsorted list. And I don't think anyone interested in the filesystem order would use mc, they'd use ls. Anyway, it's not an important issue at all, I was just interested in others' opinions. Of course I don't mind if this option remains there, even though I can't see use of it. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18767 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
[bug #18766] Not re-sorted at panel swap
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #18766 (project mc): Okay, now I understand the design. But then IMHO the right behaviour would be to re-sort the panels at swap, so that mc is consistent with itself (a ^R doesn't change anything), and ^U is usable not only to very quickly show some other file attributes but also to very quickly change to a different sorting method. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18766 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Update of bug #18767 (project mc): Status:None = Fixed Open/Closed:Open = Closed ___ Follow-up Comment #5: Well, the guy who posted the bug report below seemed to use the Unsorted mode: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitemitem_id=13549 Maybe, there are others too. As for myself - I never used it but still I don't mind it. However if you want to discuss the Unsorted mode, please, open a new bugreport. I am closing this one now. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18767 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
