Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and I have everything configured for using mc in russian koi8r codepage. Also my console is configured in VESA_132x43. I have the latest ported version of mc installed.
Usually if one wants to view rotated log file (eq maillog.5.bz2) pressing F3 did the job - file is unpacked and viewed normally. But now something changed and these files are viewed in a strange way. It seems like viewer forgets about \n and interprets these files as a stream data without line breaks, but inserting line break each 64 character. As a result we see a bar of text with width 64 chars. It is actually not the best way to read text log files. When exiting viewing mode mc shows error box containing multiple errors like maillog.5:44: warning [p 2, 7.5i]: cannot adjust line maillog.5:401: warning [p 14, 8.2i]: can't breakline etc. This problem persists if the file is unpacked manually (eq maillog.5). Strange thing is that if the file is renamed to any name without .# in the end it is viewed normally, so contents is not the source of the problem. The source lies within interpreting file names like *.# as some special (?) kind. Exclusion from this rule is name like *.0 which is viewed normally. The built-in editor works just fine with these files so the error (?) is in the viewer code. This problem came recently (within 2 months I think) because before my recent upgrade of mc everything worked just fine. -- Best regards, Oleg Tarasov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
