Hi! My mc version: $ mc --version GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.19 System: Fedora 24
I just want to tell you that %f macro in mcedit is not correct. It contains the current file name that is selected in the panel but not the actual file name that is opened in mcedit. I created the mcedit item to run C++ program: += f \.cpp$ r Run clear app_path=/tmp/$(uuidgen) if g++ -o $app_path "%f"; then $app_path rm $app_path fi echo 'Press any key to exit.' read -s -n 1 Imagine that I opened the file a.cpp in mcedit. Then I pressed alt+` and switched to panel. Then I selected (or even opened in mcedit) the file b.cpp. Then I pressed alt+` and switched to mcedit with a.cpp. Then I executed the "Run" item from user menu. And... The b.cpp will be compiled and run. This is wrong! Why b.cpp??? I executed "Run" from a.cpp! I propose you to do the new macros for mcedit. %opened_file - the file name that is opened in current instance of mcedit. %opened_file_full_path - as %opened_file but full path to that file. I think that %opened_file may be not safe because the current directory may be changed in mc panel. So it is better to use %opened_file_full_path. %opened_file_dir - full path to directory where %opened_file is. %save - save opened file before executing the menu commands. May be useful in some cases. For example I don't want to press F2 every time before run changed code. Thanks for the mc.
