Version 3.0
|
|
|
|
This has been finished:
|
|
|
|
- Virtual File System: You now can browse tar, compressed tar and
|
|
file systems over the network as if they were local subdirectories;
|
|
- Slang support, you don't need ncurses anymore (but you can still compile
|
|
with ncurses, if you want).
|
|
- New mc.ext format, for details see the sample mc.ext file provided.
|
|
- Append option if you try to copy/move a file onto already existing one.
|
|
- Internal cd command uses CDPATH variable if set (like in BASH).
|
|
- Find file command is much faster.
|
|
- External panelize command - finding files using unlimited number of
|
|
criteria - actually spawns an external command and it can be find, awk,
|
|
grep -l or anything else.
|
|
- Learn keys makes setting up of mc on terminals with broken
|
|
terminfo/termcap databases easier. It just asks you to press keys which
|
|
are not working.
|
|
- Advanced chown command.
|
|
- C-PgUp and C-PgDn takes you to the previous and currently selected
|
|
directory respectively on the Linux console.
|
|
- You can choose between 7 data bits, iso-latin-1 (0-127+160-255) or
|
|
other (0-255).
|
|
- Confirmation for overwriting, deleting and exiting added.
|
|
- Viewer has growing buffers.
|
|
- Filename, username, hostname and variable completion (M-Tab) on all
|
|
input lines plus command completion on appropriate places of command
|
|
line.
|
|
- Following of symlinks at changing directory.
|
|
- Viewer now supports bold faces and underlines, and it fits the
|
|
information on the screen better. Now you can also specify the starting
|
|
mode for the viewer depending on the contents of the viewed file.
|
|
- Mask rename and copy.
|
|
- Colors now let you specify the intensity of the colors you want.
|
|
|
|
This is being worked on:
|
|
- Virtual File System: FTP file system.
|
|
- Tcl/Tk and XView versions of the program (preliminary versions are
|
|
up and running).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 2.0
|
|
|
|
Now users are able to define their own display
|
|
|
|
- User defined display formats.
|
|
|
|
Now you can configure the file display to suit your needs.
|
|
For example, you can say which information you want to see displayed
|
|
instead of our defaults.
|
|
|
|
- User definable program layout.
|
|
|
|
Panels could be shown vertically or horizontally;
|
|
panels could be different sizes, you can hide or show most
|
|
program windows (command line, keybar or menubar).
|
|
|
|
- Output window.
|
|
|
|
Now, it's possible to see part of the last program output on the Linux
|
|
console without having to switch screens via an option in the layout
|
|
menu.
|
|
|
|
- New View modes:
|
|
|
|
Quick view: as you browse your files, each one is displayed on
|
|
the other panel on the idle time.
|
|
|
|
Tree view: let's you browse your directories by traveling a tree.
|
|
We have two traveling modes available. And the tree does
|
|
not take your precious time: it's build on the fly, as you
|
|
browse your disk (you can always loose your time if you
|
|
want to :-).
|
|
|
|
Info view: Gives you information on the currently select file and
|
|
the current file system as you move.
|
|
|
|
User view: Let's you define a directory listing and the format you
|
|
want to use.
|
|
|
|
- New subshell support (concurrent shell execution)
|
|
|
|
The Midnight Commander will now spawn one copy of the shell, so you
|
|
get better performance and you can use shell functions, define variables
|
|
and execute complete shell commands. Supported shells: bash, zsh and
|
|
tcsh. If your shell is not supported, then the old mode is still
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
- Dialog box manager
|
|
|
|
Almost all the new configuration options are configured with this
|
|
new dialog manager, easy to use if you are familiar with dialog boxes
|
|
in DOS and Windows.
|
|
|
|
Available widgets: check buttons, buttons, radio buttons,
|
|
input lines and list boxes (So you can take our code and use it on
|
|
your applications).
|
|
|
|
- New option configuration.
|
|
|
|
Now the program options are configured with a dialog box.
|
|
|
|
- Chmod and Chown commands:
|
|
|
|
For changing permissions as well as ownership of files and
|
|
directories, uses our new dialog manager.
|
|
|
|
- Color customization support
|
|
|
|
Now you can change the default color of the program with any of
|
|
these:
|
|
environment variable, Colors section in the init file (colors per
|
|
terminal type) and command line.
|
|
|
|
- User menu and extension enhancements:
|
|
|
|
Execution understand the %t macro (tagged files).
|
|
|
|
User menu also has a new macro to let the user specify options.
|
|
|
|
You can hide and show entries in the user menus by using conditions.
|
|
|
|
Auto detect best match depending on a regexp.
|
|
|
|
- Viewer:
|
|
Goto line command,
|
|
horizontal scrolling,
|
|
on the fly uncompression (and we don't eat unneeded cycles of CPU),
|
|
allow non gunzip operation.
|
|
|
|
- Internal move command:
|
|
|
|
Now, we don't rely anymore on system commands in /bin, so the
|
|
program is more robust and is much faster. Bunchs of code come
|
|
from the GNU fileutils.
|
|
|
|
- The Tree view and normal views allows wrapped incremental searchs of
|
|
file names.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Now it's possible to do things like rename *.pas in *.bak
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Allow panels to be in Long mode without forcing the user to a single panel.
|
|
|
|
(You can even have two long panels).
|
|
|
|
- F10, C-g cancels as well as ESC ESC.
|
|
|
|
- Improved help system.
|
|
|
|
We updated and spelled the help system and added a lots of links.
|
|
The Web page is constructed with the same tools.
|
|
|
|
- Allows tagging of directories:
|
|
|
|
Now you can copy, rename, move and delete complete directories. You
|
|
are not limited anymore to files.
|
|
|
|
- View output (screen save/restore) on Linux console.
|
|
|
|
On old Linux systems, only b&w is supported, on newer Linux systems
|
|
(1.1.67 and newer), we also support color screen save/restore and
|
|
cursos positions.
|
|
|
|
- 8 bit clean support.
|
|
|
|
- Visual feedback while i-searching files.
|
|
|
|
- Much more intuitive, you have to use it.
|
|
|
|
- It's better than aspirin.
|
|
|
|
- New memory allocation debugger.
|
|
|
|
During testing time, we used a powerfull memory allocation debugger,
|
|
so the program will not eat all your memory, and will make a good use of
|
|
your memory.
|
|
|
|
- Now it also runs on hppa-hp-hpux9, hppa-hp-hpux7, m68k-apple-aux and
|
|
sparc-sun-netbsd1.0. The best platform to run it is Linux, of course,
|
|
since that's where most of us develop it.
|
|
|
|
- Inode sort option.
|
|
|
|
- Nice progress status indicator.
|
|
|
|
We have two of them: a moving dash indicator and a progress bar
|
|
indicator for file operations.
|
|
|
|
Version 0.15
|
|
|
|

|
|
Works on systems without mmap.
|
|
|
|
- Mouse Support now also works on xterms.
|
|
If you run in the Linux console, you will still need the gpm mouse server
|
|
to use the mouse support, but if you use xterms, then you're lucky
|
|
and can use the mouse support when using xterms.
|
|
|
|
- Help system and man page.
|
|
Both were updated and has many more hypertext links inside, the
|
|
help system can also be used with a mouse.
