mc-4.8.14 hangs on select for 10 seconds at startup

2015-05-31 Thread Mike Smithson
I'm working over a Mandriva 2011 distro to get it working just the way I like it. It came with mc-4.7.53, and it works. I decided to compile 4.8.14 on the PC, pretty standard stuff: GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.14 Built with GLib 2.16.6 Using the S-Lang library with terminfo database With builtin

Bah. Mc is not over. Things change, that's all. I've been into mc since I don't know when. The first time I used it. Mid/late 90s I'm guessing. I saw how it floundered in the 4.6 series. I shrugged and kept tweaking and hacking my version. A few years went by and I looked it up again, purely

listbox hotkeys

2015-05-24 Thread Mike Smithson
I use Directory hotlist a lot. Constantly, really. It's always bugged me that I can only access the first 10 items with the keys 0-9. After sitting on my TODO list for about 2 years, I finally had a scratch at the issue. Keys a-z are very often used by the menu of the dialog the listbox is in,

mc startup with single specified path

2013-10-18 Thread Mike Smithson
Hello. I'm having some puzzlement over the initial startup behavior of mc-4.8.10 when paths are specified on the command line. To quote the manual: [quote] If both paths are specified, the first path name is the directory to show in the left panel; the second path name is

little bug in option.c

2003-02-09 Thread Mike Smithson
I was playing with option.c and ran across this tiny bug. If you change PANEL_OPTIONS the dialog doesn't display properly anymore. Atached is the diff to make it work and be consistent with the way OTHER_OPTIONS is handled also. --- mc-cvs-4.6.0-030207/src/option.cSat Dec 7 20:16:30 2002

mouse behavior discussion

2003-01-30 Thread Mike Smithson

pre2a Xevent problem?

2003-01-05 Thread Mike Smithson
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? --- mc-cvs-4.6.0-pre1b-021217/src/screen.c Sun Dec 15 22:42:17 2002 +++ mc-draft-4.6.0-pre1b-021217/src/screen.cTue Dec 17
