Description of problem: Using mc with the -e argument, such as "mc -e somefile" brings you to the file browser instead of the editing interface even though the file exists in the current directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.7.2 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a terminal (through X or a tty) 2. Run mc -e somefile where somefile is an existing file (either exact or relative path) Actual results: mc opens up to the file browser as if you ran mc with no arguments Expected results: mc should open up the file editor as is the case when you run "mcedit somefile" Additional info:
Thanks for bugreport. This was fixed in http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/2187 Jindrich, you may cherry-pick needed patch by command: git diff 15fe01a..e14ddbd >mc-e.patch and add it to exists 4.7.2 src.rpm. Or just wait for next release (4.7.3 will released near the 5'th of July)
Slava, thanks for the quick action :) I will wait for the next release and release update so that we can benefit from more fixes in 4.7.3. ... and I don't need to release updates twice ;)
Any ETA on this? It's hard to get used to using mcedit instead of mc -e after using mc -e for so many years. :-P
It is fixed by this update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mc-4.7.3-1.fc13 Just give it a positive karma so that it is pushed to stable repositories ASAP :)
