Subprocess strangeness

2020-09-13 Thread Alan Corey via mc
I've been using mc for 20 years or more and only seen this in the last couple weeks. I use rxvt as my terminal emulator mostly. I could navigate to where I wanted another terminal in mc, then type rxvt & and a new independent window would open there. I could close the original window and the

Ghost Commander seems nicer than ES FileExplorer which I've used for years. Thanks. Sent from my Motorola XT1527 On Wed, Jun 13, 2018, 8:00 AM wrote: > Send mc mailing list submissions to > mc@gnome.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >

Wow, I've been using mc for 20 years, I never realized there was a risk of it going away. I've got about 6 instances open now in different panes of my desktop. I thought it was maintained by a committee. I'm retired and mostly write C but I've never really looked at the code. I run it mostly

Re: FTP to MS ftp server

2013-04-03 Thread Alan Corey
Hi, It is regrettable that the ftp directory listing of MS ftp servers often use the MS-DOS directory listing format rather than the standard unix format. It is much worse that my beloved MC work horse / swiss knife does not understand that format. PathFinder as well as ForkLift grok that

Trying to ftp under OpenBSD

2013-03-28 Thread Alan Corey
It works in OpenBSD 5.0 with mc 4.7.5.2 It doesn't work in OpenBSD 5.2 with mc 4.8.1.1 (in OpenBSD ports), I get Cannot chdir to /#ftp:user@ip No such file or directory (2) So I downloaded the latest stable source 4.8.1.7 and that gives the same error. I haven't tried 4.7.5.2 under OpenBSD 5.2

Yep, have another better way. F9 - Options - Panel options - [x] Lynx-like motion NB: panel listing mode shouldn't be a 'Brief file list' ... and you will navigate as well by left arrow (leave directory) and right arrow (enter to directory). An in my opinion, this behaviour much better,

That (to me) is the main reason to use the -d... But then I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts to switch the focus... I have jr aliased to joe -readonly so I use that as a viewer too. Besides copying, I save blocks into /tmp a lot. If fvwm has a keyboard shortcut for changing the focus I haven't

alias mc=mc -d alias mcm=/usr/bin/mc Or instead of mcm, 'mc' (quotes included) for an unaliased mc command. Works both in bash and tcsh. I didn't realize that quoting a command disables any defined alias... It's a good thing to know, but for my purposes mcm is easier to type, and helps

re: disable mouse sort order?

2012-05-01 Thread Alan Corey
I have nothing good to say about starting MC with the -d option and highly reccomend recompiling. Disabling mouse support will still allow gpm copy/paste functions while not operating in a GUI. Why? Does it crash if you remove mouse support or something? And I've never seen the GUI

I think its great that its there, but is there way way to turn it off other than starting mc with mc -d? Most often I'm just clicking in a window to give the window the focus, and at least once a day I click the wrong place and mess up the sort order. I try to not click column headings anymore,
