Some samples what worked for me.
note that -geometry command tells xterm the size (not mc),
also note the  to regain control,

usually /etc/mc/mc.ext will give more samples.
in /etc/mc/mc.ext first match rules!

Holger


Open=if [ $DISPLAY =  ];   \
  then play %f;\
  else (xterm -bc -geometry '90x11+200+100'   \
 -fn -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 \
 -fb -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 \
 -e mplayer %f ); fi

Edit=if [ $DISPLAY =  ];   \
then mcview;   \
else (audacity %f  /dev/null 21 ); fi

MC and external apps

2011-09-19 Thread Monkish

I'm trying to get MC to open sound files in MoC, and .txt files in leafpad.

vlc instead of mplayer, but for some reason I can't get the other two apps
to work.

to

Open=wterm -e mocp -vo null %f

Open=%leafpad{EDITOR:leafpad} %f
