Re: Moving from ~/.cedit to ~/.mc
Hi, Miguel! I suggest that MC doesn't use the .cedit directory and uses .mc for the files that it currently looks for in .cedit. The main reason is that the Syntax file conflicts with Cooledit. Do we have any words from Paul on integrating maybe the new cooledit with MC? I think it's not realistic, except very limited pieces of code, e.g. syntax support. I'd rather have a well-tested (as part of MC) editor with less features than an feature-rich editor that crashes in the newly merged code. Just check the recent changes to mcedit - it now uses many facilities of MC, such as VFS, subshell, charset translation, safer temporary files. Also mcedit is more careful about resources - the syntax rules are not loaded if syntax highlighting is disabled. It's very handy on embedded devices with limited memory (yes, I work with the devices where it matters). Anyway, I'm copying the message to Paul, so that he gets a chance to participate in this discussion. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Re: Re: Moving from ~/.cedit to ~/.mc
Hi! At first I am glad to see letter from you. Boston area is not so far from New York. Actually, I don't think that Syntax should be copied. Most people don't want to customize those files, and those who do will be able to make the copy by hand. Well, I did not explain all details of this idea. It may be copied on user request from F9 - Command. Actually, INSTALL is supposed to provide this information. I'll have a look if anything could be added. Note that most users should not need any of those tools, they just need to know how to compile and install MC. Whenever you add more informations, some users will think that they _need_ e.g. Autoconf and will start sending dumb question to the list. I know that from Autoconf mailing lists - extra information confuses. Ok. -- Regards, Andrew. éÇÒÁÊ × ÛÁÈÍÁÔÙ × éÎÔÅÒÎÅÔ ÎÁ InstantChess.com!
