I believe OP is correct: mc forgets the active directory if you do
have "auto save panels setup" selected.

I've found the best way to use mc for music control is to modify your
menu file (F9 -> Command -> Edit menu file) and add entries with slave
commands for xmms/deadbeef/whatever running elsewhere.
eg:
=+ t r
F9 -> Options -> Configuration... -> Pause after run -> set to Never.

Hello.
I wonder amongst mc-users, what should the
mousewheel do in the panels?
Right now, for me, it scrolls by a page every time,
and moves the selected along with it.
This behavior I do not like, and is always the
first patch I apply to fresh cvs.
I have two questions:
1. Should mousewheel
Oh boy, there's something really wrong here.
I just compiled the freshest cvs AS IS, the
configure options seemed appropriate to my
uses. It works fine from the console, but in
a gnome-terminal (mandrake8.2) it seems to
buffer Xevents (keyboard and mouse) and then
spew them out after about three
Trivial Patch #10262:
This patch scrolls one line at at time instead of one page at a time
when spinning the mousewheel.
Does anyone like it or find it useful?
