1 Fri Jan 16 00:11:20 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
3 * popt.c (poptGetNextOpt, poptReadConfigFile): added missing free
6 * vfs/ftpfs.c: Activated CD_THEN_LS_DOT as default; instead of
7 "LIST path" send the commands "CWD path" and "LIST ."
9 * vfs/ftpfs.c (command): First check errno because
10 disable_interrupt_key might change it.
12 * vfs/ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink): Finished the CD_THEN_LS_DOT hack.
13 If you activate it you will be able to browse directories containing
14 spaces in their name (that's a compile-time option; search
15 for the define in this file).
17 * vfs/ftpfs.c (__ftpfs_chdir): New function; this code is moved from
18 ftpfs_chdir, takes a remote path and for performance reasons it keeps
19 track of previous CWD's.
21 * vfs/ftpfs.c: To change directories use __ftp_chdir instead of
22 sending the CWD command.
24 * vfs/vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Added support for symlinks containing
25 spaces (spaces either in the name of the symlink or in the target
27 Thu Jan 15 23:09:58 1998 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
29 * color.c (get_two_colors), (configure_colors_string): get two
30 colors now splits the color names instead of brute force text
31 matching. make a copy of the string to be able to patch the
34 * screen.c (file_compute_color): renamed, old name was
35 normal_color. This is now used by the gnome port as well. The Tk
36 port should be using this too instead of having its own color
39 * color.h: Use PORT_COLOR to choose the color.
41 * gscren.c: Compute the proper sizes for the panel columns; Add
42 sorting callbacks for the buttons on the top
44 Wed Jan 14 22:29:01 1998 Peter Daum <gator@cs.tu-berlin.de>
46 * patchfs: added new file system for browsing patch files.
48 Wed Jan 14 20:54:38 1998 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
50 * screen.c (parse_display_format, use_display_format):
51 Functionality has been splited now. the former routine only
52 parses the user specified format, while the later parses and
53 activates the format for text mode editions.
55 * panel.h (format_e): we now have a couple of extra fields:
56 use_in_gui indicates that this field should be displayed on a GUI
57 (ie, only the text-mode decoration tags are ommited).
59 expand field indicates that the field should be expanded.
61 Wed Jan 14 12:55:19 1998 Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@lgic.co.kr>
63 * mc.tcl: find a user specific 'tkmc' file in the ~/.mc
65 Tue Jan 13 17:15:21 1998 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
67 * main.c (pre_exec): reset_prog_mode is not called if mc is
68 compiled with SLang. Otherwise, raw_mode in invoke_subshell()
69 may be improperly initialized. In this case Ctrl-O was ignored
70 Tue Jan 13 09:08:32 1998 Alex Tkachenko <alex@bcs.zp.ua>
72 * widget.c (show_hist): cleaned up; historylist_callback (now removed)
73 replaced with listbox_finish to enable selection with mouse double click
75 * wtools.c (create_listbox_window): added comparison of passed width
76 with title and cancel button length. Max value of three is now taken;
77 fixed cancel button xpos calculation.
79 Sun Jan 11 11:31:39 1998 Alex Tkachenko <alex@bcs.zp.ua>
81 * view.[ch]: removed obsoleted macro HEX_EDIT and related code
84 * wtools.c (query_dialog): added color to hotkeys in focus
86 by subshell on FreeBSD.
88 * mouse.h: obsolete code removed. gpm-xterm.h doesn't exist anymore
90 * nt/Makefile.NT: sldisply.c is not linked with mc.
92 * myslang.h: we don't try to draw double lines for panels anymore
93 because "official" SLang doesn't support them supported for OS/2
96 * doc/mc.sgml: "<tscreen><verb>" should not appear in mc.1 and
99 * layout.c, main.c: "mc -a" is not supported for OS/2 and NT.
101 * configure.in: libtermcap is linked only if it is available and
104 * vfs/undelfs.c: umode_t is undefined before entering the kernel
105 headers, because the Linux kernel defines its own umode_t
107 * key.c: First left mouse click on xterm was interpreted as
108 a right click. Now event->buttons doesn't need to be initialized
109 (exactly as in liblow.c in libgpm)
111 * screen.c, key.c: Some routines were surrounded with HAVE_XVIEW.
112 HAVE_X is used instead since that code is not used in Tk and gnome
115 Tue Jan 13 11:08:26 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
117 * lib/mc.menu: Bugs fixed caused by quoting the expanded %-macros
119 Fri Jan 9 20:33:14 1998 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
121 * layout.h (get_other_panel): Define get_current_panel/get_other_panel
122 as macros that use the index stuff we used before. I am getting
125 * gnome/glayout.c: Gnome code does not link with the layout.c
126 code, we use our own set of routines here.
128 Fri Jan 9 13:24:22 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
130 * vfs/extfs.c (extfs_get_path_from_entry): New function which maps
131 a struct extfs_entry to a local path inside the archive.
133 (extfs_open, extfs_close): Use the path to the resolved symlink
134 when making or storing a local copy of a file from the archive
135 (at least the zipfs doesn't follow symlinks).
137 Thu Jan 8 20:10:23 1998 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
139 * main.c: Moved some edition specific code into the edition
140 specific routines (Tk, XView, Gnome and text).
142 * text.c: new file, has some of the text mode edition code bits.
144 Sat Dec 6 23:24:23 1997 Yuri Kuzmenko <yuri@microsoft.kiev.ua>
146 * main.c: added -r command-line option. It removes
147 "The shell is already running a command" message in
149 Thu Jan 7 14:50:00 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
150 * screen.c (panel_callback): Don't set h->grided to zero. The fix
151 in dlg.c (create_dlg) is sufficient.
154 Wed Jan 7 17:55:40 1998 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
155 * dlg.c (create_dlg): Initialize new_d->grided to zero. [ Note:
156 Strange, very very strange, as this is supposedly initialized by
157 x_create_dialog from the D_GRID flag. Mhm, wonder what is going
160 Wed Jan 7 17:30:53 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
161 * screen.c (panel_callback): Initialize h->grided to zero.
163 * extfs.c: fix crash by using properly quoted file names to the
166 * configure.in: INSTALL_PROGRAM mustn't be set explicitly. configure
167 adapts the path in INSTALL but not in INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA
168 (adaption of the path is necessary when the compilation tree is
169 different from the source tree and mc/install-sh is used for
172 Tue Jan 6 18:10:55 1998 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
174 * tkwidget.c (tk_new_command):
176 There are two types of dialog boxes in the Tk edition: those that
177 are manually layed out (which have a layout_XXXX routine in
178 mc.tcl) and those that are layed out according to the information
179 generated by the GUI designer (gd.tcl). The layout information
180 for the later are called gui.XXX.tcl, and they contain information
181 used for laying out widgets according to a table.
183 Now, dialogs that used the GUI designer, had their widgets labeled
184 (this label was recently used by the history code (and thus, some
185 widgets that did not have name, got names, which means that they
186 will be tried to be layed out with the wrong laying out routine).
188 The flag DLG_GRID is used when creating a dialog box that uses the
189 gui designer, so we store this variable now and use it when
190 creating the widgets.
192 Tue Jan 6 18:07:24 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
194 * edit/edit.c (edit_load_file), editcmd.c (edit_save_as_cmd,
195 edit_save_cmd, edit_quit_cmd): Delete the edited file if we
196 created it in edit_load_file (e.g. mcedit <non-existing-file>)
197 and the file wasn't modified OR it wasn't saved.
199 * editcmd.c (my_open, pipe_mail): Deleted the external declaration
200 of errno (errno is delared in errno.h which is already included);
201 deleted the only reference to errno (I can't see it's purpose).
203 Mon Jan 5 13:11:54 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
205 * acconfig.h: Define HAVE_CRYPT when libcrypt or libcrypt_i are
206 available. AC_CHECK_FUNCS(crypt) defines HAVE_CRYPT but
207 AC_CHECK_LIB(crypt, crypt) doesn't (the consequence were login
208 failures with mcserv).
210 * configure.in: Define HAVE_SOCKET also when the function socket
211 isn't found in libc but in a other library.
213 Don't define HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME by using AC_CHECK_FUNC instead of
214 AC_CHECK_FUNCS (we don't use this define and to be consistent we
215 would have to do the same as for HAVE_SOCKET and HAVE_CRYPT).
217 * doc/mc.in.1, doc/mc.sgml, mc.hlp: Updated the find-file entry
218 (the contents field is interpreted as regular expression).
220 * lib/mc.hint: Updated the information for lynx-style navigation.
222 * layout.c (layout_cmd): Removed de-reference of NULL-pointer in the
225 * main.c (reload_panelized): Update the panel's summary information
227 * popt.c: removed references to alloca
229 * widget.c: more changes to prevent mxc from issuing characters
232 * vfs/Makefile.in: Install extfs/arfs from the source directory
233 and not from the compilation directory which lacks arfs if both
234 are different directories.
236 *vfs/extfs.c: Quote special characters before passing it to pipe.
238 (read_extfs_archive): List a symlink as normal file if the extfs-
239 script lists symlinks without providing the destination of the symlink
240 (namely the zipfs caused coredumps)
242 * vfs/mcfs.c (mcfs_login_server): Close the socket after and not
243 before it's last use.
245 * xv/Makefile.in: Some sourcefiles which depend on HAVE_XVIEW and
246 HAVE_X were not recompiled.
248 * xv/xvwidget.c (x_create_gauge): set the PANEL_CLIENT_DATA (other
249 parts of the code depend on it)
251 * lib/mc.ext.in: Added entry for ftplist-extfs
253 * user.c (expand_format): Added parameter which decides whether
254 expanded %-macros are quoted or not.
255 Adapted every reference to "expand_format" for the additional
258 * ext.c (exec_extension): Don't quote the result of expanded %-macros
259 when we use it internally (e.g. the parameters of %cd).
261 * util.c (name_quote): Quote backticks.
263 (fake_name_quote): New function used by exec_extension (I need this
264 function only because I was too lazy to recode exec_extension
265 completely and wanted to avoid a lot of if-clauses).
267 * vfs/extfs/arfs, deb.in: Set LC_ALL to the C locale because we run
268 "date" and expect the output to be formated for this locale.
270 * vfs/extfs/*: Removed "eval" from the scripts because it made problems
271 with filenames which contain special characters, e.g. ', "
273 * vfs/extfs/ftplist.in: If mc is compiled with "-DWANT_PARSE" you
274 will be able to hit return in order to connect to ftp servers listed
275 in the ftplist-extfs.
277 * vfs/extfs/zip.in: Added support for symlinks in zip-files.
279 Tue Dec 30 15:20:13 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
281 * widget.c (button_new): We no longer require the hotkey and the
282 hotposition arguments, these are automatically computed from an
283 embedded "&" in the button text. This is required for
284 internationalizing the program.
286 * achown.c (init_chown_advanced): Adhere to new button_new
289 * achown.c, boxes.c, chmod.c, chown.c, file.c, find.c, wtools.c,
290 panelize.c, option.c, listmode.c, learn.c, layout.c, hotlist.c:
293 * wtools.c (query_dialog): Do not use the first character as the
294 hotkey, clients now should use the widget "&" character.
296 Tue Dec 30 15:06:52 1997 Tomasz K³oczko <kloczek@rudy.mif.pg.gda.pl>
298 * edit/: Many small changes preparing for internationalization.
300 * doc/: renamed the manual pages to include a .in, the manual
301 pages are now generated by configure.
303 * makimg definition INSTALL_PROGRAM depended on
304 --with[out]-debug. Default value INSTALL_PROGRAM is "${INSTALL}
305 -s" (striping binaries on installing), with --with-debug is
308 * tk/Makefile.in: Compiling the tk edition on first pass.
310 * mc.spec.in: Cosmetic changes.
312 Tue Dec 30 14:30:09 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
314 * vfs/extfs/arfs: UID and GID shell variables renamed because they
315 are read-only under Linux.
317 * configure.in: mxc can be compiled if even libXext is missing.
319 * main.c, layout.c: minor changes to prevent tkmc and mxc from
320 issuing some characters on the console. initscr is included into
323 Tue Dec 30 14:28:54 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
325 * view.c (view_hook): Allow viewing links in quick view mode.
327 Tue Dec 23 13:19:36 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
329 * find.c (find_parameters): Don't quote special characters like (,
330 [ and | in the search string (Note: for egrep name_quote quotes
333 Mon Dec 22 15:28:25 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
335 * screen.c (panel_key, keymap): Alt-H is now only used to center
336 the current selection if torben_fj_mode is on, this allows the
337 history to be used with Alt-h.
339 Mon Dec 22 15:14:22 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
341 * mc.sgml, mc.1, mcedit.1, mc.hlp, main.c: gray and brightred
342 colors was not mentioned.
344 * ext.c: isspace is used instead of comparision with space and
345 tab. MC for NT has working internal viewer again (there was a
346 problem with parsing of mc.ext).
348 * find.c: improved look of dialogs for console and XView
349 versions. Hotkeys for edit ('e') and view ('v') work now.
351 * tree.c: NULL is no more used in define_label and
352 define_label_data. XView version can show the tree buttonbar
353 (which is not yet useful).
355 * many files in edit/, src/, nt/: added config.h where
356 needed. Minor fixes to prevent grp.h and pwd.h from including in
357 OS2 and NT version. Makefile.NT is updated. HAVE_TRACE determines
358 whether tracing in util.debug.c is enabled.
360 * utilnt.c: canonicalize_pathname returns value. If MCHOME is not
361 defined, the directory is used, where mc.exe resides
363 * nt/drive.c: updated.
365 * nt/chmod.c: New button scheme is used.
367 * nt/Makefile.NT, nt/Makefile.VC4: updated
369 * edit/wordproc.h: include config.h
371 * src/widget.c: after changing the label of a button, the dialog
374 Mon Dec 22 15:12:50 1997 Alexander Romanyuk <alexr@krid.crimea.ua>
376 * edit/editcmd.c (edit_refresh_cmd): Use the same refresh code as
379 Mon Dec 22 14:56:26 1997 Bakeyev I. Timur timur@goff.comtat.kazan.su
381 * editcmd.c, editoptions.c: adjusted the buttons locations to work
382 with the new button code.
384 Mon Dec 22 14:43:16 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
386 * layout.c (setup_panels): If the keybar is not visible, then
387 reduce the size of the command input line.
389 * ChangeLog: went back to old date format, I get confused with the
390 new date specification. To make your emacs 20 work like this set:
392 (setq add-log-time-format 'current-time-string)
394 Mon Dec 22 14:43:16 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
396 * ext.c (FILE_CMD): Removed -- when invoking file because the file
397 command shipped with sco doesn't support the -- option
399 * util.c (name_quote): Names beginning with a dash will be prepended
402 Sun Dec 21 00:00:00 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
404 * cons.saver.c (detect_console): Do not check for root privileges.
405 Newer versions of Linux have a /dev/vcs, which should have the
406 user id permissions set correctly by login.
408 1997-12-20 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
410 * docs: Updated Ching Hui's address to his new address:
411 mr854307@cs.nthu.edu.tw
413 * Added Norbert to some files, not complete though.
415 1997-12-19 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
417 * popt.h (poptStrerror): Added workaround for systems lacking
420 1997-12-17 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
422 * ext.c (FILE_CMD): Include a -- when invoking file to avoid it
423 interpreting dashes on the filenames.
425 1997-12-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
427 * main.c (handle_args): Do not depend on optarg
429 1997-12-17 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
431 * main.c (do_nc): Fixed wrong parameter count ('edit' takes two
434 1997-12-21 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
436 * editcmd.c: Some dialog boxes did not have tknames for the
437 input histories. I've now check all the input widgets and all
438 seem to have adequite (i.e. unique) tknames.
440 * widget.c: Added a button to all input widgets that have a
441 reasonable width. You have a choice of two styles determined by
442 LARGE_HISTORY_BUTTON at compile time. I have set this to larger
443 style: [^] as apposed to the smaller style: ^ i.e. a button
444 with an up arrow in it instead of just an arrow. I still am not
445 sure of the color scheme everyone would prefer. Should the
446 history button be the same as a regular button? This is
447 extremely cool, because even the commandline has a little button
448 to the right which you can click on for an input history.
450 * widget.c: input history listboxes that appear above the widget
451 now have the last line selected (most recent input) instead of
452 the first line (oldest input).
454 * whats with the new date style?
456 1997-12-16 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
458 * configure.in: check for ext2fs/ext2fs.h and linux/ext2_fs.h
459 before enabling the undelfs (libext2fs alone isn't sufficient
460 for a successful compile of the file recovery code).
461 $withval isn't processed yet, i.e. --with-ext2undel and
462 --with-ext2undel=/usr/src/ext2fs are the same.
464 * edit/edit.c (edit): Added parameter, now it's possible to invoke
465 the internal editor and jump to the passed linenumber
467 * lib/mc.ext.in: removed the quotes which surrounded the %-macros
469 * cmd.c (do_edit_at_line): invoke the editor and in case of the
470 internal editor jump to the passed linenumber.
472 * ext.c (exec_extension), find.c (find_par_start), main.c (copy_tagged,
473 copy_prog_name), view.c (load_view_file): Added calls to name_quote
474 where appropiate, i.e. everything which is passed to the commandline
475 of a shell is passed to name_quote first
477 * file.c (find_file): Added a button to invoke the editor from
480 * subshell.c (quote_directory): deleted
482 (do_subshell_chdir): use name_quote instead of quote_directory
484 * user.c (expand_format): pass expanded parameters to name_quote
486 * util.c (name_quote): prefix characters with special meaning to
487 the shell with '\' (I fear the current implementation is highly bash
489 when requested by the caller double percent signs (that's needed
490 when copying filenames to MC's commandline)
492 * tk/gui.mfind.tcl: Added button to invoke the editor
494 Mon Dec 22 11:21:17 1997 Bakeyev I. Timur timur@goff.comtat.kazan.su
496 * widget.c (button_new): Change number of parameters in function call.
497 Now, You need just specify button type and pure label name, without
498 ugly spaces and brackets. This allows to reuse same button name under X
501 * button_callback: Add code, that draw proper button, dependently of
504 * widget.h: Add constants for new types.
506 * query_dialog: Changes to handle new buttons, style overwritting.
508 * quick_dialog: Apropriate changes to show new buttons correctly, style
509 changing, ability to have default button.
511 * Mostly all dialog boxes was rewritten, to make their look similar
512 and a bit smoother :).
514 1997-12-16 Paul Sheer (psheer@icon.co.za)
516 * widget.c (history_put): Check for a tkname in a couple of extra
519 1997-12-16 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
521 * src/popt.c: Include config.h to get the HAVE_MMAP definition.
523 1997-12-15 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@metropolis.nuclecu.unam.mx>
525 * file.c (file_mask_dialog):
527 1997-12-15 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
529 * edit/editcmd.c: Provide tknames for the quick input lines
530 on for search/replace and for the mail dialogs.
532 * src/widget.c (history_put): Do not manipulate the history for an
533 input line that lacks a tkname.
535 * panel.h, screen.c (parse_display_format): Keep track of the
536 number of columns on the format.
538 * gscreen.c: Use GtkClist widget for representing the file
541 1997-12-13 Paul Sheer (psheer@icon.co.za)
543 * src/widget.c: Add support for input line history
546 * src/profile.c: add translate/untralste routines (required for
547 avoding the case where a newline is saved as part of the history
550 Paul sent this as '\0200', I changed it to '\\', even if he told
551 me that it could have problems with Windows :-). Blame me, not
554 * src/setup.c: Keep track of the number of history items stored.
556 * src/command.c: add a tkname to the input line.
557 * src/file.c: add tknames for all of the input lines
558 * src/wtools.c: likewise.
560 Thu Dec 11 11:37:47 1997 Alex I. Tkachenko (alex@bcs.zp.ua)
562 * src/view.c (load_view_file): remove unused variable;
563 seek to the beginning of the file (since it gets advanced by the
564 zip-figure out routine).
566 Wed Dec 10 10:28:44 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
568 * widget.c (button_len): New function. Dependent of the type of
569 button (NORMAL_BUTTON, NARROW_BUTTON, DEFPUSH_BUTTON,
570 HIDDEN_BUTTON) calculate the amount of characters the button label
573 (button_new, button_settext): use button_len instead of strlen.
575 * main.c (handle_args): There were still references to variables
576 specific to getopt - replaced with the corresponding popt function
579 * dlg.c (frontend_run_dlg): changed the call to get_event because now
580 it takes an additional parameter
582 * file.c (update_buttons): deleted
584 (check_buttons): Completly rewritten - check mouse and key events
585 nonblocking and process available events with the dialog manager.
587 (create_op_win): Added "Skip" and "Abort" buttons. Previously we
588 handled these buttons completely without the dialog manager, i.e.
589 these buttons looked like buttons but we displayed them with addstr
590 and processed events (only keypresses) ourself.
591 Now these buttons can be selected with the mouse.
593 (file_mask_dialog): Changed the order in which the checkbuttons are
594 added to the dialog. Now when pressing tab the selection goes round
595 and round (Timur did a terrific job in fixing all the other dialogs).
597 * key.c (get_event): Added parameter to make it possible to select
598 blocking or non-blocking behaviour (This change breaks the OS2 and NT
600 I need the non-blocking behaviour in check_buttons. Previously it
601 was only possible to check non-blocking for keypresses.
603 * key.h: changed declaration of get_event
605 * tk/gui.quick_file_mask_copy.tcl: Changed the order of the
608 Wed Dec 10 10:19:52 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
610 * gnome/Makefile.in: popt.c is compiled with the gnome version
611 gwidget.c: clean_button is not needed anymore
613 * user.c: filename of the global menu is calculated using
614 concat_dir_and_file instead of copy_strings
616 * configure.in: use lynx if no browser for X is found
617 lib/mc.ext.in: mc uses the best browser available
620 Mon Dec 8 07:20:34 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
622 * configure.in: allow to remove support for ext2-undel file system
623 Sat Dec 13 17:15:32 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
625 * edit/edit.c, edit/*.c: updated editor code to match cooledit
628 * editoptions.c: Nice options dialog box.
630 * wordproc.c: wordprocessor like paragraph formatting for the
633 Fri Dec 5 23:13:30 1997 Yuri Kuzmenko <yuri@cracksoft.kiev.ua>
635 * find.c: fix the bug with unsaved in_contents field
637 Fri Dec 5 07:23:34 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
639 * main.c (do_execute): Don't advice the subshell to chdir into
640 non-local virtual filesystems.
642 (do_panel_cd): Stop filename search (C-s) when the directory is
645 (print_usage): this_dir and other_panel_dir were listed in
648 (handle_args): The transition from getopt to popt wasn't complete (e.g
649 with "mc -u -s" this_dir and other_panel_dir were set to "-u"
652 Mon Dec 1 05:35:00 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
654 * cmd.c (menu_edit_cmd): use concat_dir_and_file instead of
657 * util.c (set_int): enlarged the temporary buffer because the
658 ascii representation of an integer value can be greater than
661 * file.c (file_mask_defaults): New function which sets the global
662 variables used by the copy and move file routines to a reasonable
663 default. Use file_mask_defaults when you don't want to call the
664 interactive file_mask_dialog.
665 Note: I know that always setting preserve_uidgid is redundant
666 for non-root when we keep the change in setup.c but I like it
667 this way better (everything set in one function without making
670 * setup.c (load_setup): removed the check for preserve_uidgid
671 which isn't longer necessary
673 * cmd.c (check_for_default), tree.c (tree_copy, tree_move): call
674 the new file_mask_defaults
676 Mon Dec 1 05:47:17 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
678 * cmd.c (ext_cmd): use proper filenames for ~ and $MCLIB
682 Mon Dec 1 05:14:41 1997 Alex Tkachenko <alex@bcs.zp.ua>
684 * popt.c: If mmap is not available, read the configuration file
687 Sun Nov 30 18:11:18 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
689 * main.c: Tell the user about the new location of his
692 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Use .bashrc if the .mc/bashrc file
695 * user.c (user_menu_cmd): Cleaned up the menu filenames.
697 Fri Nov 28 12:38:39 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
699 * main.c (print_usage): Include the long options now on the
702 * mc.1, mc.sgml: Updated docs to new pathnames; Unformized usage
703 of the $HOME and ~ usage in the docs.
705 * user.h (MC_MENU), main.h (MC_BASE), ext.h, ext.c, main.c,
706 tree.h, cmd.c, main.c (do_compatibility_move): Move the midnight
707 commander specific files into ~/.mc.
709 Thu Nov 27 22:07:34 1997 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
711 * src/popt.c, src/popt.h: New files, long options argument parsing
714 * src/main.c: Implement long options.
716 Thu Nov 27 19:14:33 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
718 * main.c (prepend_cwd): Prepend the directory only if the pathname
721 * configure.in: autodetect the ext2lib.
723 * mc.tcl: catch tk_popup output, there is a bug in tk 8.0
725 * util.c (get_current_wd): Replace HAVE_VFS with USE_VFS, thanks
726 to Pavel for submiting the relevant information.
728 Thu Nov 27 19:05:12 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
730 * boxes.c: very small patch for src/boxes.c Some array was
731 incorrectly initialized, XV_WLAY_DONTCARE was at a wrong position.
733 Thu Nov 27 11:48:06 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
735 * vfs/tar.c (load_compressed_tar): Allocate the memory for the
736 uncompressed tar file after mc_doublepopen, i.e. when forking MC's
737 process size will be much lower (that's a win on systems without
738 memory over-commitment); Make a memory hole in size of 100k which
739 enlarges on some system the chance that free can give back memory
740 to the operating system when the memory for the tar file is freed.
742 Wed Nov 26 11:16:01 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
744 * src/background.c, cons.handler.c, utilunix.c, extfs.c, tar.c:
745 Include sys/wait.h only if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H is defined.
747 * Makefile.NT, Makefile.VC4: Updated
749 Mon Nov 24 16:48:16 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
751 * file.c (copy_file_file): "preserve Attributes" didn't work when
752 fetching files with ftp.
754 * utilunix.c (init_groups): Check the return value of getpwuid(),
757 Fri Nov 21 18:08:54 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
759 * view.c: Double escape on save dialog was save old changes. Now
762 * key.c: get_key_code() returns ERR in tkmc version. This
763 preventsome SLang functions from linking with tkmc.
765 * subshell.c: mc warns about unsuccessful directory change in
766 messagebox, not via fprintf().
768 * help.h: help_follow_link() is declared here to prevent a warning
771 * tkmain.c: spelling error corrected. Internal viewer is
772 incomplete, but does work.
774 Fri Nov 21 16:46:44 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
776 * mountlist.c: For BSDI: Assume BSDI 2.1 if MOUNT_UFS is defined.
777 xBSD mustn't be defined to compile MC on BSDI 2.1. Moved all
778 defines after the include files.
780 Thu Nov 13 12:24:23 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
782 * find.c: fix the bug introduces by Pavel's fix. Goto a directory
783 which contains more files than the number of files which fit into
784 the panel, select the last file, find one file, panelize the
785 search result and voila - coredump.
787 * lib/mc.ext.in: added support for word2x and catdoc (disabled);
788 I'm not sure about the icon.
790 Wed Nov 19 12:51:51 1997 Alex Tkachenko <alex@bcs.zp.ua>
792 * setup.c (load_setup) ignoring preserve_uidgid config option
793 if called by non-root option.
795 * doc/mc.1 doc/mc.sgml added notes for local menu files.
797 Tue Nov 11 11:51:57 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
799 * file.c (make_symlink): If the option Stable Symlinks is enabled
800 and either source or destination directory is on a non-local filesystem
801 an error message will be displayed and stable symlinks will be disabled.
802 Previously the error message was displayed for every symlink and
803 no link was created at the target directory.
805 * vfs/ftp.c (open_command_connection, resolve_symlink, retrieve_dir):
806 Added an unique inode number generator to avoid problems with the
807 cyclic link detection while copying files.
809 Mon Nov 10 21:41:53 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
811 * dlg.c: Cleaned up the generic dlg code from backend specific
814 * gmain.c, gwidget.c: GNOME versions of the main and widget bits.
816 Mon Nov 10 20:10:01 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
818 * file.h: added missing declaration for erase_file
820 * find.c: try_to_select is not called if the find window is
823 * configure.in: support for using --without-gpm-mouse;
824 --with-gpm-mouse forces support for gpm.
826 * learn.c: MC crashed sometimes in the learn dialog because some
827 memory block was freed twice. Now fixed.
829 * tree.h, tree.c: tree_rescan_cmd is now void, no cast is needed.
831 * xv/Makefile.in: Target libedit.a was included twice. make
832 install tried to run mxc after installing.
834 * xv/xvicon.c, xv/xvscreen.c: ext.h is included for
835 regex_command. Old-style calls of regex_command are corrected.
837 * tk/mc.tcl: Procedure center_win was buggy. Requested width was
838 used as heigth and vice versa. Notably, viewer was incorrectly
841 * 10) view.c: Debug printing in tk version is removed.
843 Mon Nov 10 11:34:57 1997 Alex I. Tkachenko alex@bcs.zp.ua
845 * user.c: (user_menu_cmd) added possibility to use user-defined
846 menu from current directory first. Local menus are used only if
847 owned by user or root and are not group and world-writable.
849 * cmd.c: (menu_edit_cmd) reorganized to allow local menu editing
850 via pull-down menus. After editing local menu file it is assigned mode
853 * cmd.c: (compare_files) added code for thorough file comparison
854 by reading them by BUFSIZ blocks. compare_dirs_cmd - removed #ifdef's
855 for HAVE_MMAP, because everyone now can check file byte by byte.
857 Fri Nov 7 17:52:55 1997 Bakeyev I. Timur timur@goff.comtat.kazan.su
859 * panel.h/screen.c: Changed highlight_mode variable to 2 separate
860 permission_mode and filetype_mode.
862 * setup.c: The same change for saving/restoring new variables.
864 * layout.c: Added 2 chechboxes to "Layout.." menu, to visualize
865 new variables changings.
868 Fri Nov 7 13:37:54 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
870 * tk/Makefile.in: gui.quick_file_mask_copy.tcl was listed twice
871 in the variable GUIS.
873 Thu Nov 6 11:39:24 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
875 * lib/mc.ext.in: When calling lynx use %f instead of %p. %p fails
876 for non-anonymous ftp and we have to make a local copy anyways
879 * slang/slang.h: Removed the definition of REAL_UNIX_SYSTEM for
880 AIX. It's not necessary any longer because the previous #ifdef
881 defines already REAL_UNIX_SYSTEM (if "unix" isn't defined it will
882 be defined in config.h).
883 That's a patch I haven't tested but I'm really sure it will not
884 break compile for AIX ;-).
886 * slang/slutty.c: The translation of return-value-from-cfgetospeed
887 to baud-rate was made with assumptions about the value of symbolic
888 constants (B0 is defined to 0, B50 to 1, B75 to 2, ...). This assumption
889 is wrong for BSDI. There was already a fix for this problem but
890 I made a more generic and IMO better fix.
892 (speed_t2baud_rate): New function. Translate the symbolic constants
893 B0, B50, B75, ... to the actual baud rate.
895 * hotlist.c (hotlist_button_callback): After moving entries the
896 hostlist wasn't marked as modified, i.e. it wasn't saved.
898 * util.c (is_gunzipable): added recognition of BZIP headers
900 * file.c (copy_file_file): chmod and utime was called on the
901 destination file even if it couldn't be created or when it was
904 * file.c (move_dir_dir, copy_dir_dir): When moving files cross
905 filesystem boundaries don't erase subdirectories unconditional,
906 erase only files which were copied successful.
907 Added an parameter to copy_dir_dir to indicate wheather successful
908 copied files should be added to a linked list (to be deleted by
909 move_dir_dir when the subdirectory was copied completly) or whether
910 successful copied files should be deleted immediatly (that's
911 implemented but not tested and there's no checkbox to activate it;
912 I will delete this piece of code if I can't find a place and name for
915 (erase_dir_iff_empty): New function. Delete an empty directory, don't
916 report an error if the directory isn't empty.
918 * utilunix.c (errno_dir_not_empty): use of errno was wrong, use err
921 Tue Nov 4 17:52:39 1997 Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com>
923 * vfs/mcserv.c: PAM code updated.
925 Tue Nov 4 13:01:52 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
927 * util.c (decompress_command_and_arg, decompress_command): new
928 commands that return the command that should be invoked to
931 (is_gunzipable): return the compression type.
933 * tkkey.c (delete_select_channel): Moved the Tk key code.
935 * tkscreen.c: Make it work/compile with Tk 7 and Tk 8.
937 (show_dir): Do not invoke the widget commands if the widget has
938 not been realized yet.
940 Wed Oct 29 14:06:48 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
942 * vfs/extfs/rpm: We set LC_TIME back to C but the order in which
943 the environment variables are checked is this: LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE,
944 LANG. This means if you set LC_ALL the setting of LC_CTYPE has no
947 Thu Oct 23 02:07:26 1997 mc@timur.kazan.su (Bakeyev I. Timur)
949 * boxes.c: Changes in "Listing mode" dialog box for handling 4
950 different user defined status lines, for each viewing type res-
953 * panel.h (WPanel): Add an array of strings to handle different
956 * setup.c (panel_save_setup/panel_load_setup): Some additions,
957 with the same purpose. Allows to save/load 4 user status lines.
960 * screen.c (panel_update_format/set_panel_format): This functions
961 was changed to new one - set_panel_formats() due doubling the code.
962 Also improve error handling in seting new formats.
964 * main.c (listing_cmd), layout.c (panel_do_cols): Made apropriate
965 changes to use new set_panel_formats() instead of old ones. Clean error
966 handling in main.c - it was so buggy :) (My fault - allows to break
967 format strings and get fine blue panels after loading :).
969 * screen.c: Some changes to handle new feature - different status lines,
972 * color.c, color.h: Delete sel_mark_color array - isn't necessary now.
974 * tree.c, rxvt.c: Supprese some compilation warnings.
976 Thu Oct 1 03:22:02 1997 mc@timur.kazan.su (Bakeyev I. Timur)
978 * files.c: Improve look of copy/move dialog. Fix screen breaks on
979 long directory filenames. Some other beautify :)
981 * boxes.c: Slightly chaneged some buttons positions, order, names :)
982 Make dialogs look more standart. Little cleanups.
984 Mon Oct 27 13:26:55 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
986 * slint.c (slang_init): On BSD based systems ignore the C-y and
987 C-v special control characters.
989 Mon Oct 27 13:24:28 1997 Steven N. Hirsch <shirsch@ibm.net>
991 * file.c: Restored the old defaults for attributes and follow
992 links: op_follow_links set to zero; op_preserve set to one.
994 Fri Oct 24 12:50:56 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
996 * edit/editcmd.c (my_open): Deleted the extern declaration of errno.
997 It's bad habit to declare errno in the source file instead of
998 adding the correct include file. And it's wrong for multi threaded
999 applications [heh, got this patch twice ]
1001 * chwon.c (chown_cmd): getpwnam and getgrnam may return NULL if
1002 <Unknown> is selected. This was the last place in the code where
1003 the return values of this two functions were used without check.
1005 * tree.c (pathcmp): Added comments and a slightly improvement in
1006 speed which was suggested by "D. Hugh Redelmeier" <hugh@mimosa.com>.
1008 * wtools.c (query_dialog): Skip '[' when searching for a hotkey.
1009 The rename of buttons e.g. from " Yes " to "[ Yes ]" made some
1012 Thu Oct 23 10:44:57 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1014 * doc/mc.1, doc/mc.sgml, src/mc.hlp: updated in order to reflect MC's
1015 new behaviour when copying files
1017 * background.c (real_message_[123]s): Added the OperationMode
1018 (foreground/background) to the list of passed parameters.
1019 background_attention called these functions already with an
1020 additional parameter. It was passed as *first* parameter but
1021 the compiler couldn't find the wrong parameter passing because
1022 the function call was made indirectly by a function pointer.
1023 Prefix the title of dialog boxes for messages from the background
1024 process with " Background process:"
1026 * background.c (message_[123]s): Call real_message_[123]s with the
1027 additional parameter.
1029 * file.c: A lot of changes to make MC behave (as default) the same
1030 way as cp -R does. The new defaults:
1032 - follow links: dereference symlinks and hardlinks, new: follow
1033 links to directories;
1034 follow links can be toggled for the source of copy with the option
1035 "follow links", it is always activated for the destination
1036 - don't preserve file date, file mode, UIDs, GIDs
1038 Note: the old defaults were:
1039 - don't respect the umask at all
1040 - don't follow symlinks (links in subdirectories were never followed
1041 even if the option "follow symlinks" was set)
1042 - always try to duplicate hardlinks as hardlinks
1043 - always preserve filemode and date of copied files
1045 Renamed the option "preserve UIDs/GIDs" to "preserve Attibutes"
1046 (anyone a better suggestion??). If set it means
1047 - preserve filemode and filedate for non-root and
1048 - preserve filemode, filedate and UIDs/GIDs for root.
1051 - follow symlinks to directories
1052 - detect cyclyc symbolic links
1053 - detect when directories are copied into itself (it's better not
1055 - stable symlinks when moving files works
1056 - don't try to make stable symlinks across non-local filesystems
1058 * file.c (make_symlink): New function (cut out of copy_file_file)
1059 used to make symlinks resp. stable symlinks.
1061 * file.c (copy_file_file, copy_dir_dir): exchanged the calls to
1062 chown and chmod because chown might alter the file permissions.
1064 * file.c (file_mask_dialog): Removed options without effect from
1065 the file-move dialog (the old "follow symlinks", "preserve UIDs/GIDs").
1066 Now there are two different dialogs: file-move and file-copy (formerly
1067 the dialogs differed for root and non-root)
1069 * tk/gui.quick_file_mask.tcl, tk/gui.quick_file_mask_move.tcl: New
1072 * tk/gui.quick_file_mask.tcl: deleted
1074 Mon Oct 20 18:11:39 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1076 * slang/slutty.c (SLang_init_tty): Don't use fileno(stderr) for
1077 terminal input. It may hang MC when viewing files (exact: when between
1078 calls to open_error_pipe and close_error_pipe we try to get some
1079 terminal input with SLang_getkey)
1081 * slint.c (slang_init): An independent fix for the same problem
1082 (needed when MC is linked against a slang library which was
1083 not built with the sources we ship with MC).
1085 * key.c (init_key_input_fd): New function. Due to constraints in
1086 the flow of execution I had to split init_key. init_key has to be
1087 called before slint_init but a short piece of keyboard initialization
1088 has to be done after the call of slint_init).
1089 Also fixed: Since 4.0.8 it was also possible that we called
1090 select on different file descriptors to see whether there is
1091 new terminal input available.
1093 Mon Oct 20 18:05:00 1997 Manuel Sugawara <masm@deprof.fciencias.unam.mx>
1095 * edit/editcmd.c: add #include <errno.h>
1097 Mon Oct 20 14:45:50 1997 Cezary Sliwa <sliwa@blue.cft.edu.pl>
1099 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_setup_wd): The bug in vfs_setup_wd caused "Couldn't
1100 change to ." messages, particularly when starting mc from '/'.
1101 Notice that an empty string in current_dir is equivalent to "/"
1102 (see vfs_canon), while after bare 'cd'p you're at home (see
1105 * src/subshell.c (quote_directory): Handle more cases.
1107 Sun Oct 19 10:26:43 1997 Paul Sheer
1109 * editcmd.c: last_search for forward replace doesn't decrement
1110 even when a replace with a smaller word shortens the file - fixed.
1113 Fri Oct 17 22:02:12 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1115 * color.h: When not compiling with SLang use MARKED_SLECTED_COLORS
1116 from version 4.1.4 because the change in 4.1.5 is only applicable
1117 when compiling with SLang.
1119 * vfs/extfs.c (read_extfs_archive): On failure there were two
1120 missing calls to pclose
1122 * xv/Makefile.in: The new xpm-files in 4.1.5 were not added to
1123 Makefile.in. The result was that these files were missing in 4.1.5
1126 Thu Oct 9 13:22:43 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1128 * editcmd.c (edit_load_macro_cmd): The macro-file was closed twice.
1129 Made it more robust against defective macro files, e.g. delete one
1130 non-space in the macro file and the rest of the file is skipped.
1131 That's IMO still not very good error handling but better than the
1132 endless loop we got before (to get the endless loop you had to delete
1133 chars at the right side of the colon).
1134 I hope this patch will also fix the bug reported by Paul Seelig
1135 <pseelig@goofy.zdv.Uni-Mainz.de>. Thanks for the help with debugging,
1139 Mon Oct 6 11:59:00 1997 bill@kayhay.com (Bill Davidson)
1141 *xv/xvmain.c (get_panel_color): Instead of passing this function a
1142 color map segment, we pass it a pointer to an Xv_Singlecolor,
1145 *xv/xvmain.c (xtoolkit_init): Set up an array of
1146 Xv_Singlecolor before calling get_panel_color(). Use this in
1147 creating a color map segment which is NOT a dynamic CMS. Use
1148 pixmaps to create the icons at defaultDepth.
1150 *xv/xvmain.c (x_create_panel_container): Use pixmaps to create
1153 *xv/xvinfo.c (x_setup_info): Use pixmap for mc_icon at defaultDepth.
1155 *xv/xvscreen.c (copymove_in_panel): Return type is void.
1157 *xv/xvscreen.c (user_drop): Return type is void.
1159 *xv/xvview.c (textsw_notify): Return type is void.
1161 *xv/xvview.c (create_frame): Added Quit button.
1163 *xv/xvview.c (x_quit_cmd): New function, callback for Quit button.
1165 *xv/pictures.h : dropped trailing commas from arrays.
1167 *xv/panel_icon.xpm: New file, defines panel_icon_xpm[].
1169 *xv/mc_icon.xpm: New file, defines mc_icon_xpm[].
1171 *xv/mc.icon: Cleaned up trailing commas, added null
1172 termination to mc_colors.
1174 *xv/Regular.xpm: New file, defines Regular_xpm[].
1176 *xv/Directory.xpm: New file, defines Directory_xpm[].
1178 Tue Oct 7 21:53:57 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
1180 * edit/edit.c, edit/editcmd.c, edit/editwidget.c,
1181 edit/editmenu.c: updated the editor files to match the
1182 X version. This gives the editor backwards search and
1183 replace. Also, a mail command was added to mail the edit
1186 Thu Oct 2 12:37:00 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
1188 * view.c: F17 works as "Next search". Improved look of the
1189 save dialog. Suppressed some warning about "incompatible
1192 * cmd.c: Improved look of some dialogs (Mkdir, Filter, Filtered
1195 Wed Oct 1 11:25:49 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1197 * learn.c (learn_button): The old code was wrong because `*seq <
1198 32 && *seq > 126' is always false. Now it is not possible to
1199 redefine characters from space to ~ (I think that's the range we
1200 should exclude from redefinition of single characters).
1202 Mon Sep 22 12:35:53 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1204 * aclocal.m4 (fp_PROG_CC_STDC): Removed all the checks but the one
1205 for HP-UX. I took over this macro from other gnu software without
1206 further investigation but it broke compilation with the native
1207 compiler on some systems (e.g. AIX). Now I take the opposite
1208 approach and add flags only when I definitly know they are needed.
1209 At the moment that's only for HP-UX the case. When we know that
1210 some compiler need special flags we can add them later again.
1212 Tue Sep 16 16:39:39 1997 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
1214 * src/main.c: Pressing of "tab" correctly refreshes the command
1217 * configure.in: Syntax error is corrected (function AC_CHECK_LIB).
1218 Work-around for autoconf-2.12 bug is proposed. Two lines are just
1221 Thu Sep 11 12:11:03 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1223 * vfs/ftpfs.c (login_server): Handle servers that do not ask for a
1226 Thu Sep 11 12:09:26 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1228 * tree.h: Deleted check_sublevel from WTree's definition because
1229 it's not needed to recognice whether directory B is subdirectory
1230 of directory A (e.g. "/usr/src" and "/usr").
1232 * tree.c (pathcmp): New function ('strcmp for directories'). strcmp
1233 gives the wrong result in a few cases
1234 e.g. for strcmp ("mc/src", "mc.orig/src")
1236 * tree.c (tree_append_entry): Commented out and replaced with
1237 tree_add_entry to avoid strange results when an old (wrong sorted)
1238 .mc.tree-file is loaded. The negative effect is that it takes now
1239 a few us longer to display the tree the very first time.
1241 * tree.c (tree_copy, tree_move): The input dialog was a little
1242 bit to wide for 80-column-terminals.
1244 * tree.c (tree_callback): Disabled function-key F7 because mkdir
1245 is defunct in the directory tree.
1247 * tk/Makefile.in: Moved mad.o from OOBJ to LOBJ in order to stop
1248 bash (>= 2.0??) from complaining at the 'links' target.
1250 Fri Sep 5 10:03:41 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1252 * file.c (check_buttons): Discard mouse events. Pressing the left
1253 mouse button caused abort of file operations when MC was run in a
1256 Thu Sep 4 12:08:53 1997 Matthias Moeller <mattes@ice.robin.de>
1258 * vfs/tar.c: From time to time MC isn't recognizing symlinks while
1259 extracting an archive. This is especially the case for some
1260 archives not built with GNU-Tar (e.g. the cdrecord archive).
1262 These archives don't set the symlink-flag in the header->mode
1263 field, but only the header->linkflag to LF_SYMLINK. The original
1264 GNU-Tar has no problems extracting these archives.
1266 Thu Sep 4 12:06:44 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1268 * aclocal.m4 (fp_PROG_CC_STDC): The SVR4 option -Xc is also a valid
1269 option for Unixware 2.1. But it turnes some useful extensions off
1270 which are on by default. I extented the macro to avoid this.
1272 * main.c (handle_args): New option -k to enable reset of HP softkeys
1274 * slint.c (slang_reset_softkeys): New function only useful with HP
1275 terminals which program the function keys. It is activated with the -k
1276 commandline option. Thanks to GianPiero Puccioni <gip@fox.ino.it>
1279 * slint.c (getch): Removed the DEC_8BIT_HACK completely because I
1280 think we don't need it. The initial motivation behind this hack has
1281 to do with VTxxx terminal which are in eight bit mode and use some
1282 characters between 128 and 159 as control characters. We can control
1283 with the display-bits dialog which characters are displayed and so
1284 I think we don't need the DEC_8BIT_HACK (it can break the mouse in
1285 XTerms when buttons are pressed and the position is in either direction
1286 between 128 and 159).
1288 * vfs/tar.c (read_header): Some tar-files contain symbolic links
1289 without S_IFLNK set in the mode field. I don't know whether this is
1290 a feature or a bug but I use the header's linkflag to add the missing
1291 information to the mode field (same for S_IFCHR, S_IFBLK and S_IFIFO
1292 but I'm not really sure if this is necessary).
1294 Wed Aug 27 22:33:42 1997 mc@timur.kazan.su (Bakeyev I. Timur)
1296 * screen.c (panel_new): Use DEFAULT_USER_FORMAT:
1298 * mc.sgml: fix typos.
1300 Thu Aug 28 10:38:40 1997 Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>
1302 * util.c (icase_search): searching in the internal viewer didn't
1303 find patterns containing troff formating sequences - fixed.
1305 * view.c (regexp_view_search): replaced re_search() and
1306 re_match() with a single call to regexec().
1308 * view.c (regexp_view_search): made regexp matching case
1309 sensitive only when the search pattern contains upper case
1312 Thu Aug 28 19:22:54 1997 Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>
1314 * edit/editcmd.c: separated searching by regexp from the scanf
1317 * edit/editcmd.c: Regexp search recognized ^ only if it was the
1318 first character in the pattern - fixed.
1320 * edit/editcmd.c: Regexp search didn't handle empty patterns
1323 Wed Aug 20 17:29:12 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1325 * main.c (setup_dummy_mc): Setup a more complete MC for mcedit
1326 and mc -v to avoid coredumps on screen resize. I think that's
1327 the best way to handle this bug.
1329 * view.c (do_view_init): filtered_view_cmd invokes the internal
1330 viewer with command != 0 and with file == "".
1331 With the wrong Parse/Raw option (set with F8 when viewing the
1332 former file) MC tried to open the file "" - fixed.
1334 * util.c (strip_password, strip_home_and_password): handle pathes
1335 like ftp://host/abc:defg@hij correct
1337 * find.c (do_find): when searched for content the chdir button
1338 didn't work - fixed.
1340 * util.c (strip_password): New function used to remove the password
1341 from a path (persons storing passwords in the hotlist just
1342 don't want to see plain passwords on top of the panel). Currently
1343 strip_password is only used by strip_home_and_password.
1344 Note: Everything between : and @ is removed, i.e. strip_password
1345 has to be called without ftp:// and mc:. I have not added checks
1346 already done in strip_home_and_password. As soon as strip_password
1347 is called from somewhere it should be reconsidered where to add
1350 * util.c, util.h, screen.c (show_dir): Renamed strip_home to
1351 strip_home_and_password
1353 * util.c (icase_search): Use toupper for the case-insensitive
1354 compare to make icase_search aware of national characters.
1356 Thu Aug 14 00:17:40 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1358 * slang/slgetkey.c: Commented SLang_input_pending and SLang_getkey out
1359 because in order to enable input of characters from 128 to 159
1360 I have to remove the DEC_8BIT_HACK from SLang_getkey. And because
1361 I don't want any diffrence when compiling with a shared slang library
1362 and our slang I moved as much as necessary to slint.c and then
1363 made the change in slint.c. (SLang_input_pending only moved to be
1364 sure it is using the correct SLang_getkey).
1365 Perhaps I should give up the attempt to make MC compile with a
1366 system installed slang library?!?
1368 * slint.c: New functions SLang_input_pending2 and SLang_getkey2 with
1369 the same functionality without the DEC_8BIT_HACK
1371 * slint.c (getch): use SLang_getkey2/SLang_input_pending2
1373 * file.c (copy_dir_dir): preserve access and modification time of
1376 * file.c (panel_operate, real_query_recursive): The logic of
1377 know_what_am_i_doing was wrong i.e. the configuration option
1378 "safeDelete" did the opposite as it pretented. I renamed the variable
1379 and every reference to match the setting of "safeDelete".
1380 When deleting files the yes/no query defaults to yes when "safe Delete"
1382 The query defaults to no when safeDelete is checked and recursive
1383 recursive deleting of directories gets very difficult.
1385 * myslang.h (initscr): In order to make the -a option work we have
1386 to reset SLtt_Has_Alt_Charset after every call to SLtt_get_terminfo.
1389 Mon Aug 11 12:11:53 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1391 * acconfig.h, config.h.in: Define 'unix' because some Compiler don't
1392 define it and SLang requires it.
1394 * configure.in, aclocal.m4 (fp_PROG_CC_STDC): new macro to check
1395 whether an option is needed to put the C Compiler into ANSI C mode
1396 (as suggested by GianPiero Puccioni <gip@fox.ino.it>)
1398 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): Disable/enable keypad when switching
1399 panel's off/on with C-o (this fix is supposed to solve the problem
1400 with cursor keys in an xterm reported by Paul Seelig
1401 <pseelig@goofy.zdv.Uni-Mainz.de>
1403 * main.c (handle_args): Replaced -m option with an error message
1404 because first we can set in in the option's menu and second load_setup
1405 will possibly override a given -m later.
1406 Removed the obsolete -N option.
1407 Added option -a in order to force +, |, - used as line drawing
1408 characters when compiled with slang. Useful for persons not wanting
1409 to modify their terminfo databases (Thanks to GianPiero Puccioni
1410 <gip@fox.ino.it> for this suggestion).
1412 * slint.c (slang_init): Force slang to use +, |, - when the option -a
1415 * tk/tkscreen.c (x_fill_panel), xv/xvscreen.c (xv_insert_panel_item,
1416 xv_panel_repaint_item): Necessary changes due to Timur's new screen
1417 code i.e. make Tk and XView version compile.
1419 Mon Aug 4 01:20:42 1997 mc@timur.kazan.su (Bakeyev I. Timur)
1421 * panel.h (format_e): add new fields: next - pointer to the next
1422 element in the list; id - pointer to the token identificator.
1424 (WPanel): Current display format placed in the linked
1425 list with header pointed by *format. The similar list used to hold
1426 status info display string in *status_format. fmt_count is now obsolete, deleted.
1428 Added #define for current line display mode, deleted
1429 set_attr() as unneccesary, add extra parametrs to repaint_file()
1430 and format_file(), new function mini_status_format() and variable
1431 highlight_mode added. (See screen.c)
1433 * screen.c (set_attr): deleted, now uses attrset.
1435 (mini_info_brief): absolutly fixed :), deleted. See below.
1437 * Rewritten display format string handling. Array changed to
1438 linked list. Mini status format string also keeps in list. Unified
1439 parse_display_format() and parse_panel_size() to hold both
1440 cases. Other functions (paint_dir(),paint_frame() and other) works
1443 * (mini_status_format): new function. Currently, each
1444 display format has apropriate default mini status display format.
1446 * (add_permission_string): new function. New feature: if
1447 highligh_mode > 0 permission string displays with highlighted user
1450 * (normal_color): new function. New feature: if highligh_mode=2,
1451 then each file type highlights with it's own color.
1453 * (delete_format): new function. Destruct format linked list.
1455 * (string_file_size_brief), (string_dot): new functions. First
1456 gives size for files and "SUB-DIR" for directories. Second simply
1457 adds "dot" to the tokens in format string. (Try
1458 ">owner,dot,<group"). Also add "bsize" and "dot" to formats.
1460 * (repaint_file): add extra parameters, color choosen here.
1462 * (format_file): here we actually do output to the screen and make
1465 * (display_mini_info): delete currently unneccesary 3 calls to
1466 parse_display_format per line.
1468 * (parse_display_format()): fix some problems in parsing and
1469 rewrite it to creat linked list.
1471 * color.h, color.c: add 6 new color pairs: input - for input
1472 fields, directory, execute, link, special, device - for type
1475 * info.c, tree.c: change calls to set_attr to attrset.
1477 * main.c (listing_cmd): slightly changed, to parse both user
1478 defined display format and mini status format at the same time
1479 (due other changes).
1481 * main.c: add calls to init_groups and delete_groups for
1482 initialization and destruction list of groups, to which user
1483 belongs, for proper access highlighting.
1485 * setup.c: add highligh_mode to mc.ini.
1487 * util.h, utilunix.c: add functions init_groups, delete_groups,
1488 get_user_rights to proper detection user access
1489 rights. get_user_rights returns 0, if accessable on user level, 1
1490 - on group, 2 - as other.
1492 Tue Aug 5 11:33:23 1997 Alex Tkachenko <alex@bcs.zp.ua>
1494 * configure.in, vfs/local.c: autodetection of statlstat() added
1496 * slang/sldisply.c: TIOCGWINSIZ ifdef'ed to exclude window
1497 resize on SCO (there is no struct winsize defined). Maybe someone
1498 could explain, why they have it defined in termio.h, but only
1499 for _IBCS2 define; and TIOCGWINSIZ defined unconditionally?
1501 * src/cons.hanler.c, slang/sldisply.c: little cosmetic changes
1502 to remove compiler warnings
1504 Tue Aug 5 08:48:21 1997 Fernando Alegre <alegre@debian.org>
1506 * Debian viewer now handles both pre and post tar-1.12 formats
1508 Mon Aug 4 18:27:43 1997 T.E. Dickey <dickey@clark.net>
1510 * change declaration of keyok() to 'int' rather than 'void'.
1512 * configure.in: add test for 'resizeterm()' and 'keyok()' (I did
1513 test builds against ncurses 4.1, 4.0, and 1.9.9e).
1515 Btw, I tested resizing on SunOS 4.1, with both ncurses and slang.
1516 Your application handles a few resizing events before getting hung
1517 (this is not related to the libraries - perhaps you should
1518 investigate it further).
1520 * Makefile.in: remove a couple of items from the distclean rule
1521 that don't correspond to generated files.
1523 * resize (supported in NCURSES 4.0)
1525 * mouse (supported in NCURSES since 1.9.6, but not compatible with MC
1526 -- the simplest solution is to turn off the mouse code in NCURSES so
1527 that MC can do what it wants. I've constructed a patch that will do
1528 this - the function will be in the next release of NCURSES; it was a
1529 minor item on my list, so I did it this week to get MC working).
1531 * some configure nits (if ncurses is installed as curses, your script
1532 does the wrong thing).
1534 * vt100-style codes for F1-F4 (you'll need these for the XFree86 xterm)
1536 * add some stuff to the "make distclean" rule, so it _is_ clean.
1537 (Otherwise I waste time making the patch).
1539 * initialized a variable in menu.c (your program dumped core while I
1540 was testing the mouse events).
1542 Mon Aug 4 18:24:25 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
1544 * edit/edit.c, editcmd.c: changes for handling ^M.
1546 * nt/config.h: updates
1548 * slang/myslang.h: some constants that are used by the Windows and
1549 OS/2 ports are here.
1551 * nt/utilnt.c: New way of executing programs. Use _P_NOWAIT in
1552 the spawn invocation for win16 and win32 applications.
1554 (unixlike_canonicalize_pathname): Do manual canonicalizing needed
1555 for some VFS fucntions.
1557 Mon Aug 4 17:48:39 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1559 * configure.in: My last patch wasn't complete. I forgot to delete a
1560 few lines in order to make it work the way I want.
1562 * slang/Makefile.in: Removed a few defines which are no longer needed.
1564 * slang/sltermin.c: Renamed SLtt_try_termcap to SLtt_Try_Termcap within
1565 Ching Hui fixes for AIX and OSF/1 (the new slang source had this
1568 * cmd.c: Don't include edit/edit.h because it defines open to mc_open
1569 but mmap remains mmap. This broke the compare directories command
1572 * cons.saver.h: When HAVE_X is defined replace all the console-stuff
1573 with no-ops. I think the TK and XView version don't need to save and
1576 * main.c (init_menu): In the menues use Above/Below instead of Left/
1577 Right when the panels are horizontally split (only non X version).
1578 Made init_menu and done_menu non-static because they are used in
1581 * layout.c (layout_change): Make a new menubar in case the vertical/
1582 horizontal split changed.
1584 * main.c (sigchld_handler_no_subshell): Body of function commented out
1585 for XView and TK version.
1587 * main.c (main): Moved OS_Setup before xtoolkit_init to avoid using of
1588 mc_home == 0 (mc_home is set in OS_Setup).
1590 * myslang.h: A few definitions were wrong causing keys not to work.
1592 * screen.c (start_search), tree.c (start_search): The filename search
1593 (C-s, M-s) didn't wrap around when hitting C-s again and the panel's
1594 last filename and one more file matched the search string.
1596 * screen.c (panel_callback): Always define the label for the F1 key
1597 on WIDGET_INIT and WIDGET_FOCUS (with one panel in tree mode only the
1598 help for the directory tree was displayed furthermore).
1600 * view.c (view_callback): When v was renamed to i (because the
1601 parameter v was hidden by a local variable) one location was forgotton
1604 * tk/Makefile.in, xv/Makefile.in: Don't link with cons.saver.o.
1605 Re-arranged a few object files in order to compile the TK and XView
1606 version without the console save/restore stuff.
1609 Thu Jul 31 12:57:01 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1611 * slang/sltermin.c: Put Ching Hui's AIX and OSF/1 workarounds into
1612 the code again again.
1614 * boxes.c (tree): Add a buttonbar to the tree-box in order to
1615 make it possible to redefine the function keys in the tree-widget
1617 * main.c (tree_box): Change to the selected directory as described
1620 * tree.c (tree_keymap): Activated the C-r key for the tree box
1621 (with a panel in tree mode C-r did already something, but with
1622 the tree invoked with Command/Directory tree C-r and all function
1625 * configure.in: First check for a system installed SLang library,
1626 then check for --with-terminfo and --with-termap, i.e. we compile
1627 the SLang code ourself when --with-terminfo, --with-termcap or
1628 --with-our-slang is given (regardles whether there is a system
1629 installed SLang library or not)
1631 * conv.handler.c: The recent rxvt patch removed the definition of
1632 console_flag on some systems
1634 Thu Jul 31 12:29:44 1997 Jurij Ivliev <yury@win.kazan.su>
1636 * setup.c (options): add entry for use_8th_bit_as_meta flag
1637 to save it in .mc.ini
1639 * boxes.c (display_widgets): add entry for changing
1640 use_8th_bit_as_meta flag via "Display bits" dialog box.
1642 * boxes.c (display_bits_box): add handling for that entry.
1643 It's will possible 8-bits input on/off easy instead -m command
1646 Fri Jul 25 17:38:11 1997 timur@goff.comtat.kazan.su (Bakeyev I. Timur)
1648 * screen.c (string_file_size): Use %ld instead of %d to sprintf
1651 Thu Jul 24 20:01:42 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1653 * main.c (do_panel_cd): Make the code compile without USE_VFS defined.
1654 Reversed a former change (setting panel->cwd before the call to
1655 mc_chdir) because it broke the password dialog for ftpfs and mcfs.
1656 Stamp the old filesystem (mc_chdir can't stamp it because it thinks
1657 the old directory is still in use).
1659 * main.c (do_nc): After destroying cpanel and opanel set cpanel zero
1660 to avoid vfs_add_noncurrent_stamps from using them.
1662 * screen.c (do_enter): Make the code compile without USE_VFS defined.
1664 * vfs/extfs.c (extfs_get_path, extfs_close), vfs/tarfs.c
1665 (tarfs_get_path, tarfs_close): Fixed memory leaks
1667 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_addstamp): Reversed the order in which stamps are
1668 stored in the linked list so the last added stamp is first checked
1669 for timeout. That's only needed for embedded virtual file systems
1670 in order to try to free the vfs resources in a more reasonable
1672 When using the variable parent make a new copy of the list it points
1673 to. That make's it easier for the caller function to decide whether
1674 it should free parent or not.
1676 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_rm_parents): New function, free the list of parent
1679 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_rmstamp): use vfs_rm_parents to free the list of
1682 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_ncs_getid): made non-static because needed in main.c
1684 * vfs/vfs.c (is_parent): Check a vfs whether it's in a given list of
1687 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_add_noncurrent_stamps): Added current_dir to the
1688 directories to check when deciding whether to add a given vfs to
1689 the timeout structure or not
1691 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_stamp_path): Stamp the parent file systems, too.
1693 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_shut): Set stamps to zero before walking through
1694 the list because freeing the filesystems can add new stamps and
1695 the now reveresed ordered stamp list caused an endless loop.
1697 * main.c (jump2dotdot): Addapted and reused the OS2_NT version for
1698 use with unix. Now the directory tree command of the Command menu
1699 switches to the parent directory of the selected directory.
1701 * vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_close): On error don't set ftpfs_errno because
1702 it's already set by store_file.
1704 * vfs/vfs.c (mc_close): Return error when mc_close is called the
1705 second time with the same handle (happens e.g when storing a file
1706 to an ftpfs without having the permissions and selecting Retry in
1708 Set errno when the lower layer reports an error.
1710 Tue Jul 22 12:14:21 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1712 * file.c (copy_file_file): Nicer and fixed bps display.
1714 * view.c (view_callback), edit.c (edit_callback): Warning fix, use
1715 void * for the prototype, cast them to the right type inside the
1718 Mon Jul 21 07:48:33 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1720 * key.c (get_event): removed typo which caused busy waiting when
1721 leaving a vfs and MC used with mouse
1723 Fri Jul 18 10:11:01 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1725 * boxes.c (cd_dialog): Don't use the commandline widget to callculate
1726 the y-Position of the quick-cd dialog because cmdline->y is 0 when
1727 there is no commandline.
1729 * vfs/names.c (finduid, findgid): For a cache-hit in the uid/gid-cache
1730 a value of zero was returned because the cache-content was always
1731 destroyed at top of finduid/findgid.
1734 Wed Jul 23 18:43:57 1997 Alex Tkachenko (alex@bcs.zp.ua)
1736 * editcmd.c restored national chars support, broken with recent
1739 Wed Jul 23 18:43:57 1997 Alex Tkachenko (alex@bcs.zp.ua)
1741 * editcmd.c restored national chars support, broken with recent
1744 Wed Jul 23 18:43:57 1997 Alex Tkachenko (alex@bcs.zp.ua)
1746 * editcmd.c restored national chars support, broken with recent
1749 Mon Jul 21 14:25:55 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
1751 * editcmd.c (edit_help_cmd), cmd.c, dlg.c, ext.c, main.c, setup.c,
1752 tree.c, user.c, view.c: Do not use LIBDIR for accessing the
1753 information on the disk, instead use the the mc_home variable,
1754 which is setup differently for Unix and Windows/OS/2 machines: On
1755 UNIX, it still is LIBDIR, on Windows/OS/2 it uses the value of
1756 MCHOME. [This should be changed to use argv [0] -- miguel]
1758 * nt/utilnt.c (conv_nt_unx_rc, mc_unlink): New function
1759 For Windows 95 and NT, files should be able to be deleted even
1760 if they don't have write-protection. We should build a question box
1761 like: Delete anyway? Yes <No> All
1763 removed the beep messages from the vfs code.
1765 * src/drive.h: add prototypes for drive commands.
1767 * os2/util.os2.c: implement getinstalldir ();
1769 Mon Jul 21 14:25:55 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1771 * util.c, utilunix.c, key.c: Make the code compile on both libc5
1772 and gnu libc setups. Thanks to dvelp@dds.nl (Willem de Vries)
1773 and ewt@redhat.com (Erik Troan) for pointing the solution.
1775 Sun Jul 20 21:15:55 1997 Bakeyev I. Timur <timur@goff.comtat.kazan.su>
1777 * view.c (grow_string_buffer): This may be called with a null
1778 pointer to grow. Fix this condition.
1780 Mon Jul 14 12:34:08 1997 Juan Grigera <j-grigera@usa.net>
1782 * edit/editcmd.c: (Win32) added O_TEXT flag to file I/O -CR/LF translation
1784 Sun Jul 20 13:22:16 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
1786 * edit/edit.c, editcmd.c, editwidget.c, editmenu.c, editdraw.c,
1787 edit.h, editcmddef.h: This patch (on 4.0.4) updates the editor
1788 code to match the X Window version. Features added:
1789 - On saving, chown() file to the same as when it was loaded.
1790 - Backups on save are now created if the option is set. A
1791 "Save Mode" dialog was added bu Oleg (see next
1792 entry), as well as the support routines.
1793 - Various new movement and editing commands added:
1796 o Paragraph move up/down.
1797 o Move to top/bottom of screen.
1798 (Key bindings for these new features are only available
1799 for the X Windows version. But will soon be added.)
1800 - Highlights the matching bracket under the cursor.
1801 - OS2_NT check defines are moved to the edit.h file.
1802 Please try keep any defines in the file under
1804 "/* put OS2/NT/WIN95 defines here */"
1805 unless essential, so that this will also
1807 - Fixed scanf search/replace. This now works properly,
1808 where it never used to find the match length
1811 - The remainder of the changes are only applicable to the
1814 Sun Jul 20 13:26:53 1997 Oleg Yu. Repin <repin@ssd.sscc.ru>
1816 edit/editcmd.c: Added save mode feature (see above entry).
1818 Thu Jul 10 11:33:05 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1820 * edit/edit.h: Added stdarg.h because I need it to compile MC
1821 under SunOS without SLang.
1823 * edit/editcmd.h (edit_refresh_cmd): When compiling without
1824 SLang SLsmg_touch_lines() isn't defined. Fixed.
1826 * main.c (main): Take the value of the LC_CTYPE locale from
1827 the environment because at program startup each category is
1828 initialized to the locale described by the environment "C"
1829 (see setlocale(3C)).
1830 Now control-left, control-right and control-backspace handle
1831 words with national characters correct, i.e. they are only
1832 handled correct on a system with non-broken locale support.
1834 Wed Jul 9 10:48:28 1997 Juan Grigera <j-grigera@usa.net>
1836 * view.c (do_view_init): Init the save_start as well.
1838 * complete.c (command_completion_function): Use new PATH_ENV_SEP,
1839 on Windows/NT and OS/2 this is ';' on Unix this is ':'
1841 Thu Jul 3 23:07:56 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1843 * achown.c (do_enter_key): Ugh, getpwnam/getgrnam may return NULL
1844 if <Unknown> is selected. Reported by Federico Mena (quartic@nuclecu).
1846 Thu Jul 3 18:58:02 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1848 * main.c (subshell_chdir): vfs_add_non_current_stamps needs to
1849 know the current directory in any panel. Formerly it used
1850 current_dir and opanel->cwd to get this information but it
1851 was possible that current_dir and opanel->cwd were the same.
1852 I changed vfs_add_non_current_stamps to use cpanel->cwd and
1853 opanel->cwd but now I have to set cpanel->cwd before the
1856 * vfs/ftpfs.c (changetype): Always send the command "TYPE I"
1857 when changing to binary transfer mode, even if MC thinks the
1858 connection is already in binary mode (bucket->isbinary == 1).
1859 There was a problem when transfering files in background. Hmm,
1860 I think there's still a problem because my fix cures only a
1863 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_add_non_current_stamps): patches to fix a bug
1864 with releasing a vfs still in use. Thanks to Alex I. Tkachenko
1865 who helped to fix this bug.
1866 Do not time out the old vfs if it is current in any panel or if
1867 it is a parent in any panel, e.g. while browsing a tar-file on
1868 an ftp filesystem the tarfs is 'current' and the ftpfs is it's
1870 Use cpanel->cwd and opanel->cwd instead of current_dir and
1871 opanel->cwd to get the information which vfs's are current in
1872 any panel because it's possible that current_dir and opanel->cwd
1873 are the same (then the vfs for cpanel->cwd was timed out).
1875 Thu Jul 3 18:56:46 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1877 * main.c (handle_args): Add support for jumping into the editor if
1878 the program is invoked as 'mcview'.
1880 Mon Jul 7 17:03:15 1997 Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de>
1882 * slang/sltermin.c: find compiled terminfo database under
1883 /usr/{,local/}share/terminfo which is default for ncurses 4.1
1885 Thu Jul 3 20:00:10 1997 Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de>
1887 * src/setup.c, src/setup.h: load new profile string 'color_terminals'
1888 from mc.ini which is a list of terminals that support color and force
1889 mc to start in color mode
1891 * src/slint.c: use new profile string 'color_terminals' (if found in
1892 mc.ini) instead of hard-coded string 'color_terminals' but fall back
1893 to hard-coded string if new profile string is empty
1895 Tue Jul 1 12:17:08 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1897 * file.c (file_bps_show): report KBS, MBS and BPS.
1899 Mon Jun 30 11:44:13 1997 D. J. Hawkey Jr. <hawkeyd@visi.com>
1901 * src/boxes.c, src/widget.c: add the proper return value.
1903 * src/fsuage.c, src/mountlist.c, src/utilunix.c: Add support for QNX.
1905 Mon Jun 30 23:18:52 1997 Alex Tkachenko <alex@bcs.zp.ua>
1907 * edit/editcmd.c (edit_find_string): fixed search of chars > 128
1909 * acconfig.h configure.in src/find.c: an ability of grep to
1910 accept dash to denote stdin is now handled by configure. Also
1911 -lintl added to LIBS to avoid SCO (maybe not only :) problems
1914 Thu Jun 26 20:56:03 1997 Ralf Gutzeit <ralf.gutzeit@weisswasser.de>
1916 * src/file.c (file_bps_show): added display for the current
1917 line quality during ftp. It's just a modified version from the
1918 function file_eta_show to display a BPS-rate during file transfer
1919 in the line below the ETA-display. Now the stalled_msg appears in
1920 the third line under the ETA-display.
1922 Thu Jun 26 20:39:54 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1924 * vfs/tar.c (read_header): check len before using it as index
1927 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_add_noncurrent_stamps): I did some copy and
1928 paste and forgot to adapt the variable names :-(
1930 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_shut): There was a pointer used after it was
1933 Mon Jun 23 11:08:56 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1935 * mountlist.c (read_filesystem_treat OpenBSD and NetBSD as the
1938 Fri Jun 20 12:02:30 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1940 * vfs/extfs.c (extfs_get_path, extfs_close), vfs/tar.c (tarfs_get_path,
1941 tarfs_close): initialize parent->next with NULL, the vfs code
1944 * file.c (copy_dir_dir): preserve uid and gid of copied direcories
1945 if Preserve UIDs/GIDs in the copy dialog is checked
1947 Mon Jun 16 12:36:41 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
1949 * os2: Improvement in my_system () to start Windows, DOS and OS/2
1952 * show_output_starts_shell in mc.ini enabled for OS/2-version.
1954 * Bug fix for Windows 95 (fprintf(\r\n) instead of \n)
1956 Wed Jun 11 17:25:21 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1958 * ftpfs.h, ftpfs.c (changetype): store the transfer type (ASCII/Binary)
1959 at a connection basis
1961 Tue Jun 10 11:37:11 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
1963 * screen.c, widget.c: changed some defines from HAVE_X to HAVE_TK
1964 (e.g the XView code didn't want to provide a 'tk_evalf')
1966 * xv/Makefile.in: added missing dirhist.o to the list of objects,
1967 changed the order of the libs in the final makestep because I got
1968 undefined references with SunOS
1970 * xv/xvaction.c: added missing #define "mad.h"
1972 * xv/xvmenu.c: changed menubar_event from static to nonstatic
1973 because the internal editor wants to call it (note the internal
1974 editor isn't working with XView)
1976 * vfs/ext/a: New Perl version of this script.
1978 * src/info.c: remove the call to my_statfs in info_new because
1979 my_statfs is always called before the information is displayed
1980 (in function info_show_info).
1982 Mon Jun 9 18:36:51 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1984 * file.c (panel_operate): Put back the old behaviour.
1986 Wed Jun 4 17:11:23 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
1988 * file.c: highlight the proper hotkeys.
1990 * cons.saver: it is no longer compiled/linker with the -N flag, as
1991 discussed on the mailing list.
1993 Wed Jun 4 17:08:13 1997 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
1995 * info.c (info_new): my_statfs() was called before mount list was
1996 initialized It seems to also fix the problem with symbolic
1997 links across filesystems in Info view. Strange ...
1999 * file.c (panel_operate): Default in Delete dialog changed to "No"
2000 (after I lost a file ;-) Note, that RecursiveDelete dialog
2001 defaults to "No" as well - it seems to be reasonable.
2003 * mcserv.c (signal_int_handler): Added dummy parameter to keep
2004 ANSI compilers happy. All other signale handlers define it as well.
2006 * miscellanious changes to add neccessary casts/remove unneeded
2007 ones; trailing comma in enum declarations removed. Again to
2008 overcome problems with ANSI compilers.
2010 Wed Jun 4 16:58:34 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
2012 * main.c (tree_box): OS/2 and Windows NT use this routine.
2014 Thu May 29 15:25:19 1997 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
2016 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_canon): Fixed the "local:" vfs handling
2018 Thu May 29 14:30:50 1997 Michele Marziani <marziani@axpfe1.fe.infn.it>
2020 * cmd.c (do_edit): Reread also when invoking the internal editor.
2022 Tue May 27 21:10:53 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2024 * configure.in: remove typo
2026 * lib/xnc.hlp, src/mc.hlp: corrected the two ascii chars ^A, ^B
2027 and ^C with the corresponding control chars
2029 Mon May 26 13:20:56 1997 Alex Tkachenko (alex@bcs.zaporizhzhe.ua)
2031 * vfs/extfs.c, src/ext.c, vfs/tar.c, etc, etc: added waitpid() after
2032 pclose() for SCO_FLAVOR, to avoid spawning of zombie process
2033 (mostly while using external filesystem features)
2035 * src/main.c: added fflush() to get shell display prompt before
2036 saving console contents
2038 * console handler for sco added
2040 * src/view.c: hex editor feature enabled via loading entire file
2041 into memory for those who don't have mmap() call.
2043 * src/cmd.c DUSUM_USEB and DUSUM_FACTOR #undef'ed to get this
2044 code working for SCO (3.2v4).
2046 * src/cmd.c, src/panelize.c: a workaround provided for sco 3.2v4 bug
2047 in pclose() implementation. Return value ignored.
2049 * vfs/extfs.c: a workaround provided for sco bug in system() call
2050 implementation - it reports an error while it seems to be allright.
2051 Return value silently ignored.
2053 * many small fixes to let more smooth compiling on sco 3.2v4.2.
2054 These avoid annoying gcc warnings about scopes of struct declarations
2055 and redefining of struct timeval.
2057 Fri May 23 18:33:23 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
2059 * os2/drive.os2.c, nt/drive.nt.c: fixes.
2061 Fri May 23 13:56:15 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2063 * file.c (copy_file_file): Oops. uidgid and the original modes
2064 were not restored when the file was a character device, a block
2065 device a fifo or a socket.
2067 * cmd.c (do_edit): Reload the panel information after calling the
2070 * tcputil.c (rpc_get): implement RPC_LIMITED_STRING. Same as
2071 RPC_STRING, but if the string is bigger than 16k, it silently
2072 aborts. This should prevent a denial of service attack.
2074 Wed May 21 21:32:41 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2076 * complete.c (try_complete): Bug fix. Free the proper pointer.
2077 Same problem that Bernhard found, in a different location. Grep
2080 Wed May 21 21:19:58 1997 Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>
2082 * command.c (do_cd_command): Bug fix. Free the proper pointer.
2083 This fixed the cd "xxxx" problem.
2085 Mon May 19 12:07:39 1997 Michele Marziani <marziani@axpfe1.fe.infn.it>
2087 * mc.spec: small bug fixes.
2089 * lib/mcserv.init: use the -d flag for starting the daemon.
2091 Mon May 19 10:38:39 1997 Oleg Yu. Repin <repin@ssd.sscc.ru>
2093 * util.c (is_printable): Add explicit set of printable characters
2094 for xterm. Viewing binaries should not crash mc for now.
2096 Fri May 16 17:35:59 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
2098 * src/main.c: Added new -S flag on Windows and OS/2 platforms:
2099 this will create a batch file that can change the parent's default
2100 directory and disk (equivalente to the Unix mc function and the
2103 * nt/slint.nt.c, os2/slint.os2.c: slang_set_raw_mode stubs,
2104 according to the may/14 change.
2106 Fri May 16 16:46:06 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2108 * edit/editwidget.c: Fixes editor keybar redisplay.
2110 * tk/tkslint.c: Provide new function.
2112 Fri May 16 16:42:18 1997 Tomasz K³oczko, <kloczek@rudy.mif.pg.gda.pl>
2114 * mc.spec: New spec file, this packages mc, mcserv and tkmc.
2116 * lib/mcserv.init, lib/mc.sh, lib/mcserv.pamd: added
2118 * vfs/ext/rpm: instead using sed and rpm -qpi use rpm queries,
2119 more info currently displayed (changeslogs, Os, URL, packager
2121 Tue May 13 18:14:49 1997 Wojtek Pilorz <wpilorz@bdk.lublin.pl>
2123 * vfs/Makefile.in (INSTALL_PROGRAM): Use -m flag for install to
2124 force vfs scripts to be executable on those systems that use
2127 * src/utilunix.c: Implement socketpair for SCO flavored systems.
2129 Wed May 14 18:07:09 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2131 * myslang.h (raw): Make raw an alias for slang_set_raw_mode, which
2132 will set the raw mode. This should fix Hugh's problem.
2134 Wed May 14 17:18:59 1997 Alexander Dong (ado@software-ag.de)
2136 * nt/chmod.nt.c: Updated the code to use the new file book-keeping
2137 routines from Norbert.
2139 * os2/chmod.os2.c: same here
2141 Wed May 14 14:57:41 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2143 * */Makefile.in: Made the target distclean work (the Makefile
2144 was used with 'make realclean' after it has been deleted).
2146 * vfs/Makefile.in: Fixes needed for --with-debug
2148 * tk/Makefile.in: After a successful build create an empty file
2149 which make can check against (this prevents make from linking tkmc
2152 * src/dirhist.h: Moved '#include "mad.h"' a few lines down (when
2153 compiled with --with-debug there was a conflict with stdlib.h on
2156 Mon May 12 10:37:37 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2158 * setup.c (load_setup): We don't want to load the private version
2159 of the .mc.ini file.
2161 Tue May 13 18:43:13 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2163 * editcmd.c: edit_find_string(): now checks if regexp has '^'
2166 Fri May 9 14:53:07 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2168 * src/*: Use do_file_mark to mark and unmark files in order to
2169 update the summary information the right way i.e. I hope that
2170 the repored negative numbers in the mini-status are something
2172 In particular replaced lots of occurances of file_mark with
2173 do_file_mark and removed the local calculation of panel->total
2174 etc. which was not always done the same way in every file.
2175 * src/main.c (parse_control_file): Additionally use unmark_files
2178 * src/screen.c (do_file_mark, do_mark_file): Moved the code to
2179 repaint the changed file from do_file_mark to do_mark_file.
2180 The first one was only called from the second one and from the
2181 XView code and the latter does not use the moved code.
2182 I had to do it in order to avoid a check if the file is 'within
2183 the display' at the moment.
2185 * src/screen.c (panel_reload): clear panel->dirs_marked
2187 * src/find.c (find_files), src/panelize.c (do_external_panelize):
2188 Set cpanel->has_dir_sizes to 0 when clearing the counters
2190 * doc/mc.1: Fixed wrong URL
2192 * src/mfmt: Changed the return value of main from void to
2193 int and return 0. I made this stupid change a while ago when
2194 I wanted to get rid of a compiler warning (if you have two
2195 possibilities the probability to do it the wrong way is at
2198 * vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_done): Close the logfile
2200 Fri May 9 14:41:33 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2202 * view.c (display): Two lines were on the wrong place. This cause
2203 the growing buffers to stop displaying before of time.
2205 Thu May 8 11:35:24 1997 Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@amuna.rms.lgic.co.kr>
2207 * file.c (file_eta_show): Correct ETA computation.
2209 Sat May 10 13:32:55 1997 Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de>
2211 * main.c, main.h, boxes.c, setup.c, screen.c (do_enter): Added an
2212 extra confirmation 'confirm_execute' to be used when pressing enter
2213 on a file to execute it.
2215 Tue May 6 12:51:35 1997 roryt@hol.gr (I.Ioannou)
2217 * view.c (display, view_handle_key): Added an option to display a
2218 ruler in the built-in viewer.
2220 Tue May 6 12:26:31 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2222 * hotlist.c (hotlist_callback): Added the possibility to copy the
2223 directory path to the command line (C-Enter, M-Enter).
2225 One could jump from the active VFS list to the hotlist (with the
2226 left curser key) - fixed.
2228 * hotlist.c (init_hotlist): The active VFS list showed the help
2229 for the hotlist. Now it shows 'Can't find node [vfshot] in help file'
2230 (not much better but maybe someone will write a few lines for
2233 * hotlist.c (hotlist_cmd, load_hotlist, save_hotlist, hotlist_done):
2234 Check the modification time of ~/.mc.hot and reload the hotlist when
2235 ~/.mc.hot is newer than the hotlist in memory.
2236 Save the hotlist after every change.
2238 * hotlist.c (hotlist_done): Reset all necessary variables to make
2239 a hotlist reload possible.
2241 * screen.c (panel_callback): When changing the panel the current
2242 directory on top of each panel remained highlighted unil C-r was
2243 pressed. There was a change for the tk version (in 3.5.17 I think)
2246 * mcserv.c (do_readlink): the returnvalue of readlink was used
2247 without check as an index. On failure the line 'buffer[-1] = 0'
2250 * vfs/undelfs.c: The undelfs could not handle the '..' entry. That
2251 became a problem when I ensured that every directory listing contains
2252 a '..' (e.g. hitting F3 on that entry caused a segfault).
2254 Another problem only showed up when the 'Fast dir reload' option was
2255 activated (an unnecessary warning message was displayed).
2257 Once more I used the opportunity to cleanup the code a little bit.
2258 I changed the type for inodes to ino_t (some were already of type
2259 ino_t, some not), made it possible to free all malloced memory, fixed
2260 memory leaks and inserted the undelfs in the vfs timeout scheme, i.e.
2261 the malloced memory is freed automaticly when the undelfs isn't used
2262 within the vfs timeout.
2264 * vfs/undelfs.c (undelfs_shutdown): Filled the formerly empty body
2265 with something useful i.e. free memory and shut down the ext2 utility.
2267 * vfs/undelfs.c (undelfs_loaddel): Added ext2fs_close_inode_scan
2269 * vfs/undelfs.c (com_err, undelfs_readdir): Fixed an incorrect sprintf
2270 format specifier (to be honest it was not incorrect at least for the
2271 intel x86 architecture due to sizeof (int) == sizeof (long) ).
2273 * vfs/undelfs.c (undelfs_opendir): Now it's possible that the pointer
2274 ext2_fname becomes 0 so I had to consider this case.
2275 Fixed an incorrect sprintf format specifier
2277 * vfs/undelfs.c (undelfs_open, undelfs_close): Keep in mind for the
2278 timeout thing if there are open files in the undelfs (I don't think
2279 that this is really necessary but I made the changes in correpondence
2280 to the the solution in other vfs filesystems).
2282 * vfs/undelfs.c (undelfs_lstat): Do a simple check if the filename
2283 to stat is valid (this removes a harmless warning message when
2284 undlefs_stat is called from save_cwd_stats).
2286 * vfs/undelfs.c (undelfs_getid, undelfs_nothingisopen, undelfs_free):
2287 Adapted for the vfs timeout
2289 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_canon): Recognice 'undel:/dev/sda1/..' as '/' (needed
2290 to go out of the undelfs with 'cd ..' or to stat 'undel:/dev/sda1/..'
2292 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_shut): fixed a memory leak
2294 Mon May 5 18:40:28 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2296 * vfs/utilvfs.c (get_host_and_username): Rewrote it completely.
2297 Now it is clearer and should handle some problematic cases it did
2298 not handle very well before. It comes with a small test suite as
2301 Fri May 9 11:13:59 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2303 * edit.c, main.c, setup.c: editor_word_wrap_line_length option
2304 added, and a function to do word wrap.
2308 Fri May 2 13:14:13 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2310 * util.c (diff_two_paths): Fixed two typos and a too small size
2311 calculation for one malloc-call.
2312 'Stable Symlinks' in the filecopy-dialog works now. In the
2313 filemove-dialog both 'follow Symlinks' and 'Stable Symlinks'
2316 * file.c (move_file_file): name_trunc returns a pointer to
2317 a static array. That makes problems when something is done
2318 like 'foo (name_trunc (a,10), name_trunc (b,10));`.
2319 Juan corrcted one occurance of this error and I checked the
2320 other sources and found another one.
2322 * find.c (find_file): Panelizing in the find dialog didn't work
2323 if the selection in the listbox wasn't on a found file but on
2324 one of the entries which shows the found files' directories.
2326 * view.c (do_view_init): Initialize view->last (there was a
2327 problem when viewing files with a starting line number e.g
2328 from the find file dialog)
2330 * view.c (view_ok_to_quit): Added missing return value
2332 * tk/tkscreen.h: The whole file was duplicated.
2334 * FAQ, INSTALL, README, doc/mcedit.1, doc/mcserv.8, lib/mc.hint:
2335 Corrected wrong URLs
2337 * doc/mc.1, doc/mc.sgml: Corrected wrong URLs, removed the outdated
2338 entry '8-bit clean' (this option disappeared somewhen in 3.5.X).
2340 * src/TODO: removed outdated information about '8-bit clean'
2342 Fri May 2 13:11:31 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2344 * edit/: Updated to latest cooledit sources.
2346 Fri May 2 13:09:58 1997 Migue l de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2348 * find.c (locate_egrep): Search the egrep program instead of using
2351 Fri May 2 12:21:31 1997 roryt@hol.gr (I.Ioannou)
2353 * configure.in: SCO needs to use _SVID3 to compile. Otherwise the
2354 fsusage routine complains.
2356 Tue Apr 29 18:10:42 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2359 Tue Apr 29 18:03:09 1997 Christofer Edvardsen <jce@kuai.se>
2361 * vfs/utilvfs.c (get_host_and_username): Allow the login name to
2362 have a password as well.
2364 Tue Apr 29 17:42:53 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2366 * replaced all the occurences of:
2367 copy_strings (d, PATH_SEP_STR, f, NULL)
2368 with a call to the concat_dir_and_file which do a copy_strings
2369 of d, f if d has a trailing "/" or a copy_strings of
2370 d, PATH_SEP_STR, f if not. This cleans up some code and make s
2371 the code work just fine on OS/2 and Windows/NT.
2373 * boxes.c: Adjusted the listbox size, some test code went out.
2375 * hotlist.c (save_hotlist): Set the file permission of the file to
2376 the one from the backup file. This is for added security for
2377 those guys keeping passwords on their .mc.hot file.
2379 Tue Apr 29 17:41:13 1997 Alexander Dong <ado@software-ag.de>
2381 * src/dlg.c: On Windows NT RISC editions (for Alpha, PPC and
2382 MIPS), the functions have a heading-code which calculates the real
2383 address of the function. So, instead of testing pointer
2384 addresses for checking if we are dealing with an input line, we
2385 use the W_IS_INPUT flag in the widget options menu.
2387 * nt: I have changed the function drive_cmd for Windows NT so that
2388 it can display a more beautiful drive-select-window. This change
2389 also fixes a problem with more than 5 drives.
2391 * os2: misc updates to all of the files. (Alexander, could you
2392 send me ChangeLogs for your changes/).
2394 Fri May 2 12:38:07 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2396 * edit/*: Lotsa changes. Basically:
2397 - Whole lot of tabbing options added.
2398 - Sort command added.
2399 - Spell command added.
2401 Mon Apr 28 14:52:03 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2403 * boxes.c (JOBS_X): Added dialog box for controlling the
2406 * main.c: C-x j is bound to the job control dialog box.
2408 Sun Apr 20 11:04:09 1997 Alexander Dong <ado@software-ag.de>
2410 * profile.c (load): Add fclose(f).
2412 * util.c (strcasecmp): change char to int.
2414 * cmd.c (do_edit): Default editor changed for NT and OS/2
2416 * dir.c (case_sensitive): Case insensitive for OS/2 and NT.
2418 * file.c (copy_file_file): Check for st_ino and st_dev for NT and
2421 * info.c (info_show_info): check the wrong value for st_dev on
2424 * main.c (do_execute): disable control_file for OS/2.
2426 * screen.c (do_search): Case insensitive search for OS/2 and NT.
2428 * tree.c (load_tree): Changes to enable the tree file to be read
2431 * Add many changes for OS/2. (Change drive left and right ...)
2433 * Seperate set of files (*.os2.*) for OS/2.
2435 Fri Apr 18 16:44:12 1997 Wojtek Pilorz <wpilorz@bdk.lublin.pl>
2437 * mc.ext.in: Replace %f with quoted '%f'.
2439 Wed Apr 16 13:56:38 1997 Alexander Dong <ado@software-ag.de>
2441 * Contributed OS2 port of Midnight Commander.
2443 * config.h: new macro OS2_NT: defined if compiling under OS2 or
2446 Wed Apr 16 11:47:14 1997 Pawel T. Jochym <ptj@pkpf.if.uj.edu.pl>
2448 * util.h: fixed prototypes for SGI compilation.
2450 Mon Apr 14 21:38:04 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2452 * view.c (view_ok_to_quit): New function. Allows cancelation of
2453 the quit command when there changes have been made to the file.
2455 (view_handle_key): catch quit events as well and allow the user to
2458 * vfs/ftpfs.c (select_on_two): Timeout after 1 second.
2460 * file.c: Added estimated time of arrival for ftp file systems and
2461 stalled condition detection messages.
2463 Mon Apr 14 11:59:13 1997 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
2465 * vfs/vfs.h: Use bug fix version on NT of rename and mkdir.
2467 * file.c (files_error): we were clobbering the return value of one
2468 of the names displayed.
2470 * slang.h: Updated to new version.
2472 * main.c (handle_args): fix: background_wait is only available
2473 if the program is compiled with WITH_BACKGROUND
2475 Thu Apr 10 00:39:38 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2477 * mouse.c (init_mouse): Use MCKEY_MOUSE as the magic key code
2478 returned by the xterm mouse sequence instead of zero.
2480 key.c (get_event): Check for MCKEY_MOUSE as a return value from
2481 getch_with_delay instead of assuming return value == 0 => mouse
2484 Paul: Control-space now passes a zero properly to your editor
2487 Wed Apr 9 23:01:44 1997 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
2489 * nt/config.h: NT has HAVE_FCNTL_H
2491 * nt/util.Win32.h: Definition to make a distinction between
2494 * nt/utilnt.c: call set console title on Windows 95.
2495 Choose the proper shell depending on the Windows version.
2497 mc_rmdir: implement a Windows 95 version.
2500 Tue Apr 8 19:05:37 1997 Jim Smelansky <jim@axis.donetsk.ua>
2502 * mc.ext.in: rexx, wavww, rar and dbf additions.
2504 * extfs/rar: new updated version
2506 Mon Mar 31 21:06:56 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2508 * vfs/ftpfs.c: Removed the no-op macro 'wipe_password'. There is
2509 a function wipe_password in src/util.c which overrides a string
2510 with zero and frees the previously malloced pointer.
2512 Fixed memory leaks, prevent freeing of NULL pointers
2514 * view.c (regexp_view_search): Avoid freeing a pointer more than
2515 once when entering wrong regular expressions on the search dialog.
2517 * view.c (regexp_search, normal_search): Fixed memory leaks, removed
2518 some statements which had no effect
2520 Mon Mar 17 12:03:50 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2522 * configure.in (--with-hsc): fix.
2524 * vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_proxy_host_and_port): Fixed wrong parameter
2525 passing (HSC_DEFAULT_PORT was passed as pointer to char instead of
2526 passing it as integer)
2528 Sun Mar 16 15:13:08 1997 Michele Marziani <marziani@axpfe1.fe.infn.it>
2530 * mc.ext.in (html): When invoking lynx use -force_html;
2531 When calling netscape or lynx, use %f instead of %p.
2532 (type/compress): detect compressed files as well.
2534 Tue Mar 11 11:32:59 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2536 * widget.c (key_left): Add support for control-left, control-right
2539 * main.c (do_execute): Decouple the dependency of the vfs on the
2542 * file.c (copy_dir_dir): Do not create the directory if it already
2545 Fri Feb 28 11:49:56 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2547 * src/*, vfs/*: Removed compiler warnings about missing prototypes,
2548 unused variables, etc.
2550 * tk/*: Removed compiler warnings about missing prototypes and
2551 wrong/missing return values
2553 * tk/tkinfo.h, tk/tkscreen.h, tk/tkwidget.h: New files with
2554 prototypes needed by src/* (tk edition)
2556 * mfmt.c (main), tk/tkinfo.c (x_show_info): Corrected wrong
2557 parameter count in one function call
2559 * tk/tkwidget.c (x_create_gauge): Changed the returntype from
2560 void to int because the return value is used by gauge_callback.
2562 Thu Feb 27 17:50:22 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2564 * tk/tkscreen.c: new compute_font_size function created to
2565 work with tcl/tk8.0.
2567 * edit/edit*: emacs key binding option added. Can be envoked
2568 with edit_key_emulation=1 in the ini file. 0 is normal keys.
2572 Wed Feb 26 11:41:18 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2574 * key.c (get_event): Now it returns either a key sequence code or
2575 EV_NONE or EV_MOUSE. These were already implemented but were
2576 hardcoded to the constants -1 and 0 respectively. This allows the
2577 C-@ key to be processed.
2579 Tue Feb 25 20:21:00 1997 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
2581 * extfs/lha: Updated the lha filesystem and included a command
2582 for running an executable from within an lha archive suggested
2583 by Zdenek Kabelac <kabi@informatics.muni.cz>
2585 * extfs/: Renamed cpio, deb, rar, rpm as *.in files and altered
2586 config.in to create these VFS's for cleaner compilation
2588 Sun Feb 23 14:52:12 1997 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
2590 * mcedit.1, mc.sgml, mc.1: Spelling fixes to the internal editor
2593 Sun Feb 23 20:00:00 1997 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
2595 * src/Makefile.in (uninstall:) make uninstall removed /bin/rm; Added
2596 a semicolon after "cons.saver" so the line is not interpreted as
2597 "rm ... cons.saver /bin/rm ..."
2599 * src/view.c (hex_search) Added code to set the hex editing cursor to
2600 the start of the found text after a hex search. Left ASCII search
2601 undisturbed; in the case of searching for ASCII then switching to
2602 hex mode, the hex edit cursor is at the beginning of the line
2603 containing the found text, an artifact of setting the hex edit
2604 cursor to a byte position ending in 0 to make hex navigation a
2607 * src/view.c HexEdit seems stable enough for release as a View
2608 suboperation available from function key F4 Hex under F3 View.
2611 Sun Feb 23 14:08:00 1997 Yuri Elkin <yury@intruder.mktg.stratus.com>
2613 * tar.c (tarfs_get_path): Flush tarfs cache if the tar file we are
2614 openning has been modified since the time we loaded it into the
2617 Sun Feb 23 14:00:45 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2619 * dir.c (handle_path): New function used by find.c and panelize.c
2620 instead of handle_dirent. handle_path is a simplified handle_dirent.
2621 The difference is that handle_path doesn't pay attention to the
2622 settings of 'Config/Configuration/show Backup files' and 'Config/
2623 Configuration/show Hidden files'. Moreover handle_path can't be
2624 used with a filemask.
2626 The main reason for introducing handle_path was to make it
2627 possible to panelize hidden and backup files regardles of the config
2630 I used the opportunity to get rid of struct spaced_dirent in
2631 find.c and panelize.c. It was only used to pass parameters to
2632 handle_dirent. In theory this could be a problem because the
2633 d_name member has only space for a filename (at least on linux)
2634 but it was used to pass a complete path (directory + filename).
2636 * dir.h: Added prototype for handle_path
2638 * find.c (find_file), panelize.c (do_external_panelize): Moved
2639 from struct spaced_dirent and handle_dirent to handle_path
2641 * view.c (view_handle_key): Enabled input of hex digits B-F for
2642 left side data entry (hex editing).
2643 Use of is_printable for right side data entry.
2645 * widget.c (button_callback): Remember if button is focused (WButton's
2646 selected memeber wasn't used up to now).
2647 Formerly changing the text of a focused button the button wasn't
2648 redisplayed with the correct color (e.g. the Start/Stop button of
2651 * cmd.c (dirsizes_cmd): Fixed memory leak
2653 * vfs/mcserv.c (get_port_number): There was a return statement
2654 without value hidden in the macro DO_QUIT(). I added a macro
2655 which returns a value. Now there are two macros: DO_QUIT_VOID()
2656 and DO_QUIT_NONVOID().
2658 * vfs/mcserv.c (main): Added an additional error check.
2660 * vfs/*: Removed compiler warnings about missing prototypes,
2661 unused variables, etc.
2663 Sun Feb 23 13:46:04 1997 Dan Nicolaescu <DONE@DONE>
2665 * Wrote makefiles :-)
2667 * chmod.nt.c, drive.nt.c: minor bugs fixed (incorrect number of
2670 * util.WinNT.c (geteuid): added #ifdef WINNT
2672 * slint.nt.c (mc_refresh): added this (copied from src/slint.c)
2674 * utilnt.c (vfs_get_current_dir): dummy function, the vfs
2675 currently does not work for win32, but this function is called
2676 (vfs_current_is_extfs): see vfs_get_current_dir
2677 (vfs_file_is_ftp): see vfs_get_current_dir
2678 (mc_utime): see vfs_get_current_dir
2679 (extfs_run): see vfs_get_current_dir
2681 Thu Feb 20 11:32:04 1997 Yuri Elkin <yury@intruder.mktg.stratus.com>
2683 * main.c: Add '-e' flag to the help output.
2685 * configure.in: Install mcedit if it was compiled in.
2687 Tue Feb 18 22:02:50 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2689 * ext.c (regex_command): Added support for including a global
2690 entry with the "Include=" tag.
2692 Sun Feb 23 20:00:00 1997 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
2694 * src/Makefile.in (uninstall:) make uninstall removed /bin/rm; Added
2695 a semicolon after "cons.saver" so the line is not interpreted as
2696 "rm ... cons.saver /bin/rm ..."
2698 * view.c (hex_search) Added code to set the hex editing cursor to
2699 the start of the found text after a hex search. Left ASCII search
2700 undisturbed; in the case of searching for ASCII then switching to
2701 hex mode, the hex edit cursor is at the beginning of the line
2702 containing the found text, an artifact of setting the hex edit
2703 cursor to a byte position ending in 0 to make hex navigation a
2706 * view.c HexEdit seems stable enough for release as a View
2707 suboperation available from function key F4 Hex under F3 View.
2709 * lib/mc.ext.in (lha) Amended the lha entry to include upper case
2710 file extensions LHA|LZH and implemented the lha Virtual Filesystem
2711 instead of outputting just the file list.
2713 Mon Feb 17 12:41:32 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2715 * widget.c (button_callback): Special FOCUS case for Tk edition:
2716 the default button is actually a frame+button. The default dlg.c
2717 code will focus the frame (and thus, the focus will not be
2718 shown). By adding a focus response to WIDGET_FOCUS, the code can
2719 focus the correct widget.
2721 * mc.tcl: Keyboard bindings now affect all TkMC instead of being
2722 done in a per-window basis. This fixes several problems.
2724 * screen.c (do_search): Make sure we unselect the item before
2725 changing the selection. Tk version needs this.
2727 * cmd.c (set_panel_filter): Make a version that allows setting the
2728 filter for any panel.
2730 * ext.c (regex_command): Separate returned tags with the '='
2731 symbol (since this one can't be part of the tag name). This
2732 extends the usefulness of the popup menus in the Tk edition.
2734 * dialog.c: Do refreshes on X. This fixes the problem with the
2735 masks and the rereads not working.
2737 * slint.c: Provide X version for the refresh screen. This is a
2740 * find.c (view_currently_selected_file): Check if there is a
2741 selected file before attempting to view it.
2743 Fri Feb 14 00:02:40 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2745 * tkscreen.c (x_fill_panel): Added some support for coloring
2748 * mc.tcl: cleaned up code for the tags in the panels. This is
2749 used by the new coloring code.
2751 Fri Feb 14 12:49:22 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2753 * find.c (find_file): Added the correct useage of struct dirent
2754 for some operating systems (e.g Solaris 2).
2755 A comment regarding this is contained in ftpfs.c (search for
2756 NEED_EXTRA_DIRENT_BUFFER)
2758 * find.c (do_find): The status of the start/stop toggle button
2759 wasn't set right sometimes.
2761 Thu Feb 13 22:42:34 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2763 * mc.tcl, tkscreen.c: Made the sort bar useful.
2765 The code is small-icon-ready.
2767 Resizing works properly now.
2769 Thu Feb 13 13:05:45 1997 Yuri Elkin <yury@intruder.mktg.stratus.com>
2771 * hotlist.c: quote backslashes on pathnames when saving.
2773 Thu Feb 13 10:29:36 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2775 * extfs.c (extfs_fill_names): Fix crash when expanding a zip on a
2778 * panelize.c (remove_from_panelize): Don't allow to remove
2779 the entry "Other command" from the list of commands.
2780 This entry is always added on startup so there's no need to
2781 remove it and most important I remove one posibility to
2782 segfault (when removing from an empty list).
2784 * panelize.c (external_panelize): Don't run the external
2785 panelize command on non local file systems.
2787 * panelize.c (do_external_panelize): Fixed possible memory leaks.
2789 Wed Feb 12 13:05:01 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2791 * edit/editcmd.c (string_regexp_search): Avoid freeing a
2792 pointer more than once.
2794 * edit/editcmd.c (edit_find_string): Fixed possible memory
2797 * dir.c (do_reload_dir): fixed possible memory leaks
2799 * find.c (search_content): fixed memory leak
2801 * find.c (do_search): do_search opens a directory stream and
2802 stores the pointer to it in a static local variable. I added
2803 the posibility to close the directory stream from outside
2804 without making the variable in question global. Call it a
2805 ugly hack if you want.
2806 (Formerly the stream remained open e.g. if ESC was hit while
2807 the search was runing)
2809 * find.c (find_file): Every found file is added only once into
2810 the current panel when button 'Panelize' is pressed.
2811 I also removed two bugs which I could reproduce and which
2814 * find.c (do_find): fixed memory leaks
2816 * screen.c (panel_reload): fixed possible memory leak
2818 Tue Feb 11 13:14:52 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
2820 * view.c: some keys are better ignored.
2822 * screen.c (get_sort_fn): Use the sort_types array instead of
2823 using screen's.c table.
2825 * dir.c: Added more sorting types, this is basically just used for
2826 the GUI versions that may want this accessible.
2828 Thu Feb 6 15:01:44 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2830 * edit/edit*: Added goto line function. Added delete line
2833 Wed Feb 5 18:08:47 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2835 * edit/editdraw.c, edit/editwidget.c: Changed some of the
2836 draw code to properly check for waiting key presses. This
2837 should speed things up a bit. Redraws all when you let
2838 up key repeating. I think I should add a 'dirty' variable
2841 Wed Feb 5 12:29:24 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2843 * background.c (background_attention): Added missing break to
2846 * cmd.c (dirsizes_cmd), panelize.c (do_external_panelize): Changed
2847 message-type from INSERT to NORMAL
2849 * file.c (copy_dir_dir): Replaced one chmod with mc_chmod
2851 * tk/Makefile.in: Added missing dirhist.o to OOBJS to make the
2854 * achown.c, chmod.c, chown.c: Made the Advanced chown command,
2855 the Chmod command and the Chown command vfs-aware; added missing
2856 destroy_dlg; added some simple error-handling
2858 * vfs/vfs.c, vfs/vfs.h: Added new function vfs_current_is_tarfs
2859 now needed by achown.c, chmod.c and chown.c
2862 Mon Feb 3 09:33:55 1997 D. Hugh Redelmeier <hugh@mimosa.com>
2864 * layout.c (set_display_type): Cast to correct type.
2866 * screen.c (panel_event): remove static.
2868 * hotlist.c (l_call): remove warning.
2870 Sun Feb 2 14:04:57 1997 Yuriy V. Elkin <yury@intruder.mktg.stratus.com>
2872 * hotlist.c (CHECK_BUF): Use realloc only if the pointer has a value.
2874 Wed Jan 29 14:01:30 1997 Tomasz J. Cholewo <tjchol01@mecca.spd.louisville.edu>
2876 * dir.c: Fix sorting. We assumed that the first directory entry
2877 returned by readdir would be the "." and ".." entries. This is
2878 not the case under some operating systems, and ftp fs was already
2879 bitten by this. This fix, finds the ".." dir and puts it at the
2882 Thu Jan 30 19:52:01 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
2884 * main.c: fixed view file from command line. Added edit file
2885 from command line with the extra option -e <file>. Added
2886 function prepend_cwd() which adds cwd to a fname if its not
2887 an absolute path (does a function like this exist already?).
2888 Does -v <file> now do what was intended?
2890 * main.c: added check if viewing or editing from command line
2891 to always output "." even if -P is set. Otherwise we get a
2894 * main.c: added check if mcedit is in argv[0]. if so we are an
2895 editor, so edit file on command line.
2897 * edit/edit.c: made some changes to push_action to reduce stack
2900 * edit/editcmd.c: made changes to handle getting a null file.
2901 goes to new file for mcedit without args.
2903 *doc/mcedit.1: man page created.
2905 Mon Jan 27 11:17:37 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2907 * vfs/tar.c (uncompress_tar_file): Check for error while
2908 uncompressing to temporary file (the main error is probably
2909 writing to a full tmp-volume)
2911 * vfs/tar.c (tar_chdir): fixed memory leak
2913 * util.c (load_file), widget.c (assign_text): fixed memory leaks
2915 * vfs/extfs.c (free_archive): Added check before freeing
2916 archive->name because it's NULL for a mtools-fs e.g. 'cd a:'
2918 * vfs/extfs.c (read_extfs_archive, extfs_close): fixed
2921 * vfs/extfs.c (extfs_done): New function in order to free memory
2922 at program termination; it made it easier to me to find the
2925 * vfs/extfs.h: Added prototype for extfs_done
2927 * vfs/mcfs.c (mcfs_get_path, mcfs_rpc_two_paths, mcfs_rpc_path,
2928 mcfs_rpc_path_int, mcfs_rpc_path_int_int, mcfs_open,
2929 mcfs_opendir, mcfs_stat_cmd, mcfs_readlink, mcfs_chdir,
2930 mcfs_forget): fixed memory leaks
2932 * vfs/utilvfs.c (get_host_and_username): Now at return there's
2933 always the same state (*host and *user malloced, *pass malloced
2936 * vfs/vfs.c (mc_get_current_wd, mc_utime, mc_chdir): fixed
2939 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_canon): Added check before freeing because
2940 'arc_name' may be NULL (extfs for mtools e.g. 'cd a:')
2942 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_shut): Added call to new function extfs_done
2944 * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_force_expire): fixed memory leak
2946 Mon Jan 27 10:51:30 1997 Tomasz J. Cholewo <tjchol01@mecca.spd.louisville.edu>
2948 * view.c (view_percent): File percentage values in the built-in
2949 viewer are wrong for files bigger than approx. 20MB because of
2950 arithmetic overflow in the view_percent function in view.c.
2952 Mon Jan 27 10:42:13 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2954 * main.c (do_panel_cd): My third patch changes the behaviour of mc
2955 when leaving the tarfs. In that case the working directory of the
2956 subshell isn't changed to ".." but to the directory of the current
2959 Fri Jan 17 17:21:48 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
2961 * edit/Makefile.in: clean up, one could see that it was an
2962 adapted vfs/Makefile.in
2964 * background.c: added missing #include "mad.h"
2966 * cmd.c (compare_dir): count and bytes of marked files were
2967 calculated sometimes wrong
2969 * help.c (interactive_display): fixed possible memory leak
2972 * hotlist.c (add2hotlist_cmd): hotlist was not marked as
2973 modified if only button 'Add current' was used i.e. that
2974 there was no chance of saving the hotlist unless there
2975 hadn't been other modifications
2977 * hotlist.c (load_hotlist): removing [Hotlist] in ~/mc.ini
2978 didn't work when 'auto save setup' wasn't activated.
2980 * hotlist.c (save_hotlist): a saved hotlist is marked as
2983 * learn.c (learn_button): don't allow definition of enter
2985 * learn.c (learn_save): without 'Auto save setup' the new
2986 key-definitions were not saved
2988 * main.c (done_mc): without 'Auto save setup' activated a
2989 modified hotlist wasn't saved at program termination
2991 * mad.c (mad_realloc): MAD complained about 'realloc (NULL, size)'
2992 but that's legal C and the same as 'malloc (size)'
2994 * screen.c (panel_key): hitting C-s more than once the next
2995 file matching the search string is searched for instead of
2996 starting a new search, any abort key stops filename search
2998 * enable abort of filename search with the usual abort keys
3000 * tree.c (tree_destroy): fixed memory leak
3002 * tree.c (do_tree_check): F2 on very last directory in
3003 an tree view didn't work
3005 * tree.c (maybe_chdir): removed compiler warning about
3006 missing return value
3008 * tree.c (start_search, tree_key): Added same search method
3009 like with a panel in listing mode, i.e. C-s starts search,
3010 further C-s move to the next matching directory, any abort key
3013 * tree.c (global variable tree_keymap[]): made an invisible
3014 { 0, 0 } visible before one has the idea of removing an needless
3017 Sat Jan 18 18:18:40 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3019 * edit.c: Fixed segfault on when C-n ing.
3021 Thu Jan 16 11:11:50 1997 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
3023 * layout.c (set_display_type): Fix a bug where the current_panel
3024 variabel would not point to a WPanel * but to something else. We
3025 are looking for a better fix.
3027 Tue Jan 14 16:53:26 1997 namsh <namsh@amuna.rms.lgic.co.kr
3029 * find.c (search_content):
3031 Tue Jan 14 15:11:15 1997 Leos Bitto <bitto@kolej.mff.cuni.cz>
3033 * cons.saver.c: make it work with virtual consoles bigger than tty9.
3035 Mon Jan 13 20:58:28 1997 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3037 * dirhist.c: Added routines for keeping track of recently used
3040 Tue Jan 28 12:56:39 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3042 * option.c: Added 'use internal edit' check box to options list.
3044 * mc.sgml: Added help for config for this.
3046 * edit/*: Now displays full 8 full bit. (This screws up completely
3047 when editing binaries files because terminal display chars
3048 as ^X which is two chars wide.)
3050 Sat Jan 18 18:18:40 1997 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3052 * edit.c: Fixed segfault on when C-n ing.
3054 Mon Jan 13 18:24:41 1997 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3056 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_proxy_host_and_port): Handle properly proxyes
3057 that have a port number specified as well.
3059 Fri Jan 10 02:10:45 1997 Norbert <k3190@fh-sw.de>
3061 * cmd.c (quick_chdir_cmd): fixed memory leak
3063 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): changing to subshell with C-o and
3064 typing 'exit' doesn't cause an segfault any more.
3065 Now MC exits quietly, to achieve this minor changes in cmd.c
3066 (view_other_cmd), command.c (enter), main.c (do_execute,
3067 quit_cmd_internal, done_screen, main), subshell.c (sigchld_handler),
3068 subshell.h were necessary
3070 * command.c (command_new): fixed memory leak
3072 * main.c (do_execute): fixed memory leak
3074 * main.c (main): call of flush_extension_file in order to free
3075 malloced memory on program termination. It just makes it easier
3076 to find memory leaks with MAD or something similar.
3078 Mon Dec 23 10:13:04 1996 Norbert <k3190@fh-sw.de>
3080 * profile.c (profile_forget_profile): Bug fixed which caused
3081 complete loss of settings for all .ini files instead of loss for
3082 only one .ini file as wanted.
3084 * vfs/mcfs.c (mcfs_forget): fixed incorrect parameter passing to
3085 mcfs_open_tcp_link (port itself instead of pointer to port was
3088 * vfs/tar.c (tar_open): fixed disregarded operator precedence
3090 * hotlist.c (CHECK_BUFFER): fixed disregarded operator precedence
3092 * hotlist.c (add2hotlist_cmd): inserted check of malloc's return value
3093 by using of xmalloc (only a 'cosmetic' change)
3095 * hotlist.c (remove_group, remove_from_hotlist, done_hotlist):
3096 now freeing should work: for HL_TYPE_GROUP hotlist->directory is
3097 NULL and Janne's Memory Allocation Debugger complained e.g. when
3098 removing a group from the hotlist
3101 Thu Dec 26 19:03:47 1996 Paul Sheer
3103 * edit.c: Fixed a bug that caused undo to sometimes stop
3104 working when the undo stack wrapped. (This can be BAD news for
3105 someone if they suddenly found they couldn't undo -- sorry guys.
3106 I've now tested it quite thoroughly with a visual on whats going
3107 on in the stack and it works perfectly.)
3109 * editcmd.c: memmove() command added if HAVE_MEMMOVE not defined;
3110 return value of sprintf() now ignored.
3112 * configure.in: check for memmove func added.
3114 * edit/*: Lotsa minor odds and ends.
3116 Wed Dec 18 15:13:04 1996 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
3118 * mc.ext: Use lha file system.
3120 * Makefile.in: Create proper mc.tcl file.
3122 Wed Dec 18 15:13:04 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3124 * widget.c (listbox_key): Do not process any key command if the
3125 listbox list is emtpy.
3127 Tue Dec 17 12:59:13 1996 Christophe MEYNARD <Christophe.Meynard@ign.fr>
3129 hotlist.c (update_path_name): Fixed crash in hotlist.
3131 (add_new_group_input): Initialize the text field in
3134 Tue Dec 17 12:59:13 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3136 * configure.in: By default compile the builtin editor now.
3138 * mc.ext: Do not provide an action for editting, this is needed
3139 for using the internal editor.
3141 Mon Dec 16 14:26:55 1996 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
3143 * widget.c (insert_char): Fixed a buffer overrun: in the original
3144 code there is always one location too much copied in the function
3145 "insert_char()" in file "src/widget.c".
3147 Mon Dec 16 14:26:55 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3149 * view.c (view_handle_key): Took the Hex Edit changes out. Hex
3150 Edit will be shipped separetedly until the code is ready for
3153 Fri Dec 13 19:15:39 1996 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
3155 * view.c: Added support for using the viewer as an hex editor. Woo
3158 Wed Dec 11 20:54:53 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3160 * tkscreen.c (tk_panel_callback): Added drag/drog for the Tk
3163 * mc.tcl: Lots of enhancements.
3165 Sat Dec 7 13:54:43 1996 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
3167 * extfs/lha.in (LHA): New external file system handler for the LHA
3170 Fri Dec 6 14:57:43 1996 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
3172 * vfs/extfs/README: Updated the information on creating an
3173 external file system handler.
3175 Wed Dec 11 14:07:50 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3177 * mc.sgml: created proper editor help. sgml page is not tested
3180 Wed Dec 11 10:57:28 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3182 * key.c, key.h: New command: get_modifier() which gets the state
3183 of the alt/shift/control keys.
3185 * edit/*: Added in key translations for shift arrow text
3186 highlighting using get_modifier(). Added insert/overwrite
3189 Thu Dec 5 00:06:31 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3191 * tkscreen.c (x_filter_changed): Added a tick border to default
3194 Wed Dec 4 18:41:37 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3196 * mc.tcl: Put some nicer colors for Tk input lines.
3198 Changed the cwd display to show the file mask as well. It now is
3199 also a menu, so this will show a menu that can run some commands
3200 on the current directory (should I remove some of the stuff from
3201 the left/right menus then? Probably everything should be moved
3202 here for the Tk edition).
3204 * tkscreen.c (tk_invoke), mc.tcl: Now the Tk version has context
3205 popup menus just like Jakub's XView version and TkDesk
3208 * mfmt.c: Added this program that I had here for a long time and
3209 had not been included in the distribution.
3211 Tue Dec 3 20:09:35 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3213 * tkmain.c (tkmc_callback), mc.tcl: Generate a escape char when
3214 a window is closed by the window manager. This keeps the
3215 information consistent (ie, windows don't get killed behind our
3218 Mon Dec 2 23:51:59 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3220 * tkscreen.c (x_unselect_item): Cleaned up the panel managing
3221 routines. Added focus/unfocus calls.
3223 Wed Dec 4 15:16:59 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3225 * edit*.c: Support for Winsnows/Macinosh shift-arrow text
3226 highlighting, although no keys have been defined as yet to
3227 actually do highlighting. Fix of potential bug overwriting
3228 line[1024] in editdraw.c.
3230 Sat Nov 30 09:04:24 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3232 * background.c (parent_call_string): Our parent/child protocol now
3235 Fri Nov 29 21:05:52 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3237 * features.inc: Moved th configuration report information to this
3238 file. Now the -V option will show information on which options
3239 were compiled into the program.
3241 * background.c: Moved the general purpose background code to this
3244 Fri Nov 29 18:57:37 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3246 * hotlist.c: Added Lynx style navigation.
3248 * hotlist.c: this version will finally get rid of [Hotlist] and Co
3249 in ~/.mc.ini If no ~/.mc.hot exists, it will copy old enrties and
3250 warn user about new file; if ~/.mc.hot already exists, you have
3251 the choice to keep old entries, to remove them or to add them in
3252 separate group for later review. I tried to make it foolproof, but
3253 no warranty ;) anyway, the betatesters can just tell "Remove".
3255 * changed "hotlist_params" to "hotlist_state" (seems to me more
3258 * added "modified" flag so MC won't rewrite ~/.mc.hot every time.
3260 * preliminary added "unfolded" parameter - the intent is to show
3261 all groups at once in tree like structure; I tried to make simple
3262 implementation, but the result was less than satisfactory and I
3263 backed out changes. Sometimes ...
3265 * when copying from ~/.mc.ini to ~/.mc.hot I try to make shure it
3266 works; so I check if ~/.mc.hot was written (actually I *intended*
3267 to check - it probably doesn't work 100%) Changed definition of
3268 load_hotlist() from void to int.
3270 * setup.c, main.c: because we now need to tell user what's going
3271 on, moved hotlist loading after screen initialization.
3273 Thu Nov 28 11:50:32 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3275 * hotlist.c: add2hotlist_cmd (): length of current directory name
3276 was not checked; in case of very long name "Add current" display
3277 was distorted. The patch tries to truncate name to reasonable
3278 length (I thought it appropriate to keep dialog inside of hotlist
3279 main dlg window - it could be made something more wide if enough
3282 * update_path_name (): directory path was truncated but with
3283 incorrect lenth - long paths were getting out of bounding box.
3285 Tue Nov 26 12:29:27 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3287 * ftpfs: ftpfs open mode (passive or active) is now controlled by
3288 the variable ftpfs_use_passive_connections variable.
3290 Tue Nov 26 12:28:53 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3292 * ftpfs.c: Moved all of the proxy checking to ftpfs_check_proxy;
3293 Never use passive mode if we are using a proxy host.
3295 Thu Nov 28 20:14:34 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3297 * edit*.c: macro now creates ~/cooledit.macros automatically
3298 Execute macro now does nothing if key not found, instead of error.
3299 Save file sets permissions on creating a new file.
3301 Mon Nov 25 20:19:40 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3303 * file.c (panel_operate): remove code for background operation if
3304 this is not compiled in (thanks to done@nexus.sorostm.ro (Dan
3305 Nicolaescu) for pointing this).
3307 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_close): Avoid flushing the directory on every
3308 store operation if it is not absolutely necessary. This is an
3309 optimization that I missed.
3311 * vfs/*.c: Make all of the virtual file systems use the message
3312 stubs. We still need a stub for the input_dialog. I will do this
3313 one next (as well as moving the stub functions out from file.c).
3315 Mon Nov 25 13:41:19 1996 Luca Berra <bluca@comedia.it>
3317 * ftpfs.c (initconn): Made passive connections the default.
3318 Fallback to active connections if this fails (per connection).
3320 Mon Nov 25 09:31:57 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3322 * src/hotlist.c: Use input lines with a non-null default value.
3325 * src/boxes.c: New proxy options: Can make the usage of the proxy
3326 a global option (no need to use the ftp://! syntax if the
3327 ftpfs_always_use_proxy variable is set, check the man page for
3330 * src/widget.c: Mouse support;
3332 Mon Nov 18 20:31:47 1996 Elliot Lee <sopwith@cuc.edu>
3334 * xv: Patches to make it compile.
3336 Mon Nov 18 20:15:14 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3338 * ftpfs.c: Put the CD/LS optimization back. We know do an ls on
3339 $PATH/. and we magically get the symlink information we were
3340 missing with this optimization in the previous attempt.
3342 Tue Nov 12 16:47:52 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3344 * hotlist.c: Bug fixes. Made the hotlist window resizable again.
3346 Tue Nov 12 18:54:10 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3348 * edit/*: changes to low level insert, delete etc to allow inserting
3349 of chars before the display window without the window going out
3350 of sync -- fixes replace bug that I hope only I knew about + some
3351 optimisation of push/pop_action routines (hope it doesn't break
3354 # layout.c: added call to edit_adjust_size for window resizing.
3356 Mon Nov 11 09:24:02 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3358 * ftpfs.c: Re-enabled the CD remote-path; LS "." code instead of
3359 the optimzied (and broken) code that did LS remote-path directly.
3361 Mon Nov 11 09:16:01 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3363 * edit/*: changes to structure initializer
3365 edit_move_forward3() returns *float* but is called in argument
3366 conetxt which expects *int*. And without function prototypes
3368 * util.c: more changes were neccessary to use mc://host syntax
3370 * vfs/ftpfs.c: new -password code failed for non-anonymous logins
3372 * hotlist.c: add2hotllist() - corrected stupid error which resulted
3373 in empty hotlist. If you had it, remove empty ~/.mc.hot before
3376 * widget.c (listboxes): Can now specify the position where the
3379 * mcfs.c: more changes to adapt mc:// syntax.
3381 * vfs.c: more changes to adapt mc:// syntax. (I hope it to be the
3384 Thu Nov 7 12:34:03 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3386 * mcfs.c (mcfs_forget), ftpfs.c (ftpfs_forget): Actually, instead
3387 of forgeting about the connection, we now update it. We close the
3388 socket that is being used by the child and reopen the connection.
3390 Thu Nov 7 21:16:59 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3392 * edit*.c: Change c-o to load file. c-l now refreshes
3393 screen. Menu command added to refresh screen. Menu command
3394 added to insert a literal. C-z and c-x now move word left
3395 and right respectively.
3397 * editmenu.c: About box added.
3399 * mc.hlp: Editor help added.
3401 Wed Nov 6 12:23:14 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3403 * editcmd.c: Not every compiler takes non-statical initializer of
3404 structures. Also, dlg_init (or is it init_dlg?) crashes, if passed
3405 *empty* (as opposed to *no* - NULL) tk name.
3407 * main.c (handle_args): If the program ends while handling args
3408 and the -P option was used report the current working directory.
3410 * ftpfs.c (login_server): Removed the - option altogether.
3412 Sat Nov 2 17:31:21 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3414 * edit.c: Rewrote edit_move_forward/backward functions to
3415 handle eof properly.
3417 Fri Nov 1 13:08:22 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3419 * editdraw.c: Status line drawing improved for screens with
3422 Thu Oct 31 13:08:22 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3424 * editcmd.c: Added regular expression search and replace. Checks
3425 for overwriting an existing file if you change the filename.
3427 Sun Oct 27 21:17:11 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3429 * edit*.c: Slight changes to allow compilation with gcc's
3430 options -ansi -pedantic. Checks for macro NO_EDITOR added so
3431 that '#define NO_EDITOR' in config.h will leave out the editor.
3432 Editor now adds 30kb (9%) to the mc binary size (compiled without
3435 Sun Oct 27 11:24:07 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3437 # editwidget.c, editmenu.c: alt-f, alt-e... now drops menus
3440 Sun Oct 27 10:45:40 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3442 * edit.c: Date/time command added.
3444 Sun Oct 26 00:00:00 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3446 * editwidget.c, editmenu.c (new): Pull-down menus added.
3447 function menubar_event required to be non-static so that
3448 it can be called from editwidget.c.
3449 Macros made to work with any key. Quote feature added.
3450 Both use new edit_raw_key_query dialog sub. editcmddef.h
3451 added which now contains all the command defs.
3453 Fri Oct 25 12:00:00 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3455 * edit*.c: Macro record and execution added.
3457 ??? Oct ?? 12:00:00 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3459 * editcmd.c: Scanf search and replace added. Function edit_adjust_size
3460 added for resizing of the widget analogous to view_adjust_size.
3461 Must be called from layout.c just like view_adjust_size.
3463 ??? Sep ?? 12:00:00 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3465 * edit.c, editwidget.c, editdraw.c, edit.h, editcmd.c,
3466 edit_key_translate.c: Created from single source file, code
3467 completely overhauled. Undo now also undoes marking. Some
3468 drawing and behavioural problems solved. All key actions
3469 now work through commands, and the command to key mappings are
3470 done by a seperate file edit_key_translate.c.
3472 ??? ??? ?? 12:00:00 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3474 * edit.c, edit.h: Created from view.c as a simple editor, with
3475 same look, with block commands and undo. Command to call is
3476 int edit(char *filename);
3479 Tue Nov 5 00:21:22 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3481 * ftpfs.c (login_server): Do not send the dash if the user is
3482 debugging the connection.
3484 Mon Nov 4 14:21:48 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3486 * edit/: updated to latest version from Paul Sheer.
3488 * ftpfs.c: Fixed a couple of memory leaks in the code.
3490 * mcfs.c (mcfs_forget): when searching for a connection
3491 description, check also the port number.
3493 * vfs.c, vfs.h: Added a way to forget about a connections. This
3494 is required by the background code. The idea is that the
3495 background copy of the program keeps the information for what it
3496 will copy/move (ie, the open sockets for mcfs and ftpfs) and the
3497 parent code has to open a new connection.
3499 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_forget), mcfs.c (mcfs_forget): Implementation of
3500 the ftp forget-about-a-connection code. This routine just makes
3501 the hostname an empty string, so that no further matches will
3502 occur when referencing the file system, thus forcing a connection
3505 Fri Nov 1 15:40:31 1996 Paul Sheer <psheer@icon.co.za>
3507 * edit/: Built in editor.
3509 Fri Nov 1 15:40:31 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3511 * find.c (find_file): Add a button for the View option so that
3512 people actually know it is possible to view those.
3514 * file.c (real_query_recursive): Add background operations.
3516 * replaced refresh for mc_refresh in all of our code. This serves
3517 two purposes: X11 code will never refresh the console ever again
3518 (we provide a wrapper in tkslint) and the background tasks will
3519 not output text to a console.
3521 * slint.c (mc_refresh): refresh only if we are not a background
3524 * tkslint.c (mc_refresh): Empty routine, may call update idletasks
3527 * file.c (background_attention): More background code goes in.
3529 Fri Nov 1 00:07:59 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3531 * file.c (parent_call): I defined wrappers around the functions to
3532 let both the foreground and background processes call these
3533 routines in a less hacky way (ie, we won't be giving the
3534 background process control of the terminal ever). Now, I plan on
3535 using an rpc method for the background process to call the parent
3536 process. The idea of this is that the X11 editions of the program
3537 will benefit from this.
3539 * cmd.c (compare_dir): Add compare only based in size.
3541 * wtools.c (common_dialog_repaint): Not all dialogs have titles. Fix.
3543 * hotlist.c (init_hotlist): Make the size of the dialog
3544 proportional for the screen size.
3546 * find.c (find_file): ditto. This one was easier.
3548 Sat Oct 19 16:32:35 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3550 * extfs.c (extfs_init): Use a better structure for extfs_extensions.
3552 Mon Oct 14 19:29:38 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3554 * ftpfs.c (login_server): Use a dash in front of the username,
3555 some ftp servers use this to avoid sending the .messages file.
3556 Log the directory ouput when debugging the ftp output.
3558 Sun Oct 13 13:10:34 1996 Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@video.yars.free.net>
3560 * mouse.c: Do not open /dev/console. Use the file handle that gpm
3561 opens for any operation on the console.
3563 Mon Oct 7 11:32:26 1996 Kikutani Makoto <kikutani@jdc.ericsson.se>
3565 * cmd.c (view_file): fixed: return a value from this function,
3568 Tue Oct 1 16:20:03 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3570 * view.c (load_view_file): When we close the file descritor, set
3571 the file field on the WView to -1 so that we don't close the file
3572 two times by a mistake. This bug was found by esteban@nuclecu.unam.mx
3574 Sat Sep 21 12:12:45 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3576 * main.c (listing_cmd): Make sure the user_format is set at all
3577 times (in the past, we changed the display format on any error,
3578 but the wrong format was still there, and because of our broken
3579 way of handling mini status it would broke.
3581 Fri Sep 20 06:13:08 1996 Gregor Hoffleit <flight@mathi.uni-heidelberg.DE>
3583 * find.c (search_content): Use ISASCII from util.h, not isascii.
3585 Thu Sep 19 10:05:52 1996 Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>
3587 * Added the rar external fs.
3589 Wed Sep 18 13:54:37 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3591 * wtools.c (query_dialog): Another mistaken widget creation item
3594 Fri Sep 13 12:54:45 1996 Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@video.yars.free.net
3596 * zipfs: prevents doubling of file names for unix-created zip
3597 files. It also replaces forgotten awk to @AWK@.
3599 Thu Sep 12 22:27:25 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3601 * tkslint.c: Provided an routine with empty routines to substitute
3602 slint.c. We don't need any terminal handling when running as the
3605 * slint.c: Removed the NT support for slint.c, NT has it's own
3608 * gd.tcl: Added support for editing previously created layouts.
3609 To edit a previously creted layout, it is necesary to set the
3610 environment variable MCGD_EDIT to the name of the dialog that you
3611 want to edit. Removing rows is still done by editing the
3612 generated file as well as removing the extra texts and frames.
3614 * guil.*.tcl: Redesigned most of the layouts, should be nicer.
3616 * hotlist.c (add_new_entry_cmd): Small fixes to hotlist to make it
3619 Wed Sep 11 16:30:04 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3621 * panelize.c (init_panelize): Made panelize tk-aware
3623 Tue Sep 10 20:53:41 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3625 * wtools.c: Made tk-aware. Now all quick dialogs should be tk-enabled.
3627 Mon Sep 9 14:09:21 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3629 * boxes.c: Made tk-aware
3631 * gd.tcl: Saving/restoring of the GUI. I still have not coded the
3632 part that would load the saved code and allow the programmer to
3633 modify the layout. It is still missing a delete-row feature.
3635 Fri Sep 6 21:05:44 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3637 * tkmain.c (tk_init_dlg): Call the GUI editor, support for
3638 different layout styles in the program (the previous mode is to
3639 call a routine called layout_NAME, where NAME is the name of the
3640 dialog box; the new mode is the one that uses the information
3641 generated by the GUI designer).
3643 * gd.tcl: Minimal interactive GUI designed to layout widgets on
3644 the Tk edition of the program. To add GUI designer support to a
3645 dialog box it is required that:
3647 a) All of the widgets have a non-NULL value for the tkname
3648 parameter (this is specified when widgets are created).
3650 b) You add the DLG_GRID flag in the the create_dlg call.
3652 Once those are met, the GUI designer will pop up automatically the
3653 next time the dialog is invoked.
3655 * tkwidget.c (tk_new_command): Added support for the grided
3656 objects. All of the widgets now take an extra parameter: the
3657 tkname, a name used to identify the widget from the Tk code that
3658 is not renumbered (as did happen with the previous attempts at
3661 * dlg.c: Support for the new dialog layout routines.
3663 Tue Sep 3 00:17:11 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3665 * find.c: Fixed panelization when searching inside files.
3666 (find_par_start): Use mc_stat instead of stat.
3668 Mon Sep 2 23:48:34 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3670 * subshell.c: before pushing a streams module on svr4, we use
3671 I_FIND. Fixes also the calling convention for zsh 3.0. FIXME: We
3672 don't need if this will work with older versions of zsh.
3674 * hotlist.c: Added multi-level hot list to the program.
3676 Mon Sep 2 18:31:24 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3678 * view.c (view), cmd.c: view functions now can take a starting
3681 * ext.c (regex_command): when asking for the View tag, you can
3682 append :number to the tag (View:45) to make the viewer jump to
3683 that line at startup.
3685 * utilunix.c (mc_doublepopen): Bumped the blcok size that the
3686 mc_doublepopen uses to be 8192, this provides faster grepping.
3688 * find.c (find_parameters, find): Added a capability to search
3689 information inside files. I believe this will be quite handy for
3690 searching files in vfs files.
3692 Replaced instances of hardcoded path separators for our portable
3695 * local.c (local_read): Return proper failure value when errno is
3696 not EAGAIN or EINTR.
3698 * wtools.c: Added routines for common dialog callbacks:
3699 dialog_repaint: repaints the background of a dialog.
3700 common_dialog_repaint: calls dialog_repaint with defaults colors.
3701 common_dialog_callback: Callback intended for sample dialog, it
3702 just redraws, nothing fancy.
3704 Mon Sep 2 18:31:24 1996 Aldy Hernandez <aldy@andrews.edu>
3706 * configure.in, utilunix.c: check for Sequent having
3707 get_process_stats for implementing gettimeofday.
3709 * Use HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H instead of an ifdef for AIX. Sequent and
3710 QNX also have fd_set on sys/select.h
3712 Thu Aug 29 12:05:15 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3714 * vfs/mcfs.c: added mc_utime() vfs callback; added local_utime() function;
3715 * added mcfs_utime() function;
3717 implemented RPC utime call; program version is now 2;
3719 * Version 2 tries to transmit true file timestamps if speaking
3720 with anybody with version >= 2 (is it portable?)
3722 * slightly changed the way mcserv works. Now it becomes "true"
3723 daemon if given -d flag (thus it is possible to say just `mcserv
3724 -d -f' instead of `mcserv -f -d &') One drawback is, that -v
3725 doesn't work for daemon mode; it could be made, but I consider it
3726 more as debugging aid. What is neede is syslog() interface for
3727 daemon. But I have the ffeling, that mcserv() is not being used
3728 by anybody except me ;) and I don't need syslog().
3730 Wed Aug 28 19:14:38 1996 Fernando Magariños <mancha@breogan.iimas.unam.mx>
3732 * extfs/arc: Added support for .arc and .pak files
3734 Tue Aug 27 00:20:41 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3736 * view.c (block_search): enable interrupts at the beginning of the
3737 search and at the end, this should speed up searching.
3739 Mon Aug 26 16:30:13 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@tirania.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3741 * view.c (hex_search): Added missing toupper. Now hex searches
3744 * cmd.c (nice_cd): If the user types in the prefix for the ftp://
3745 directory, do not insert one at the beginning.
3747 Sat Aug 17 15:37:13 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3749 * ftpfs.c: Removed the CWD optimization. If the connection is
3750 dropped, then we should resend the CWD again. Thinking about a
3751 proper fix for this.
3753 Fri Aug 16 13:31:33 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3755 * ftpfs.c (command): Invalidate the current path name when the
3756 connection is dropped.
3758 Thu Aug 15 22:42:13 1996 Wojtek Pilorz <wpilorz@celebris.bdk.lublin.pl>
3760 * ftpfs.c (get_line_interruptible): Make sure we don't write past
3761 the buffer. Make sure the buffer is zero terminated.
3763 Thu Aug 15 15:00:45 1996 I. Ioannou <roryt@compulink.gr>
3765 * sldisply.c: SCO doesn't have TIOCGWINSZ.
3767 Thu Aug 15 21:20:09 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3769 * mcserv.c (mc_pam_auth): Added support for Linux-PAM for
3770 authenticating users.
3772 Thu Aug 15 15:00:45 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3774 * mcserv.c: most commands look like send_status (unlink (f),
3775 errno); It is the text-book example of undefined behaviour. At
3776 least by me it returns errno from *previous* syscall, and not from
3777 e.g. unlink(f). It results in absolutely wild things sometime
3778 (errors with errno 0; MC making wrong decision based on wrong
3779 errno and so on). In particular, recursive delete didn't work
3780 (probably, due to second bug also). I set errno to 0 in
3781 send_status() for the same reason.
3783 The do_readdir() sometimes worked incorrectly. The following code
3786 while ((dirent = readdir (mcfs_DIR.dirs [handle]))){
3788 lstat (dirent->d_name, &st);
3790 It cannot be assumed, that current directory is that of dirent. It
3791 is *not* in case of recursive delete (when I am reading
3792 subdirectory first). So I save directory name from opendir() call
3793 and use it in readdir(). My patch assumes, that MC always sends
3794 absolute pathname in opendir(); so far I have always seen that.
3796 I tried to add clean up code to remove RPC mapping after exit. I
3797 cannot verify it; it always fails by me probably due to bug in
3798 portmapper interface functions. It is possible when using rpcbind.
3800 As a side note, I removed close_handle() call from do_readdir(). I
3801 don't understand, what it does there; MC normally makes
3802 opendir()/readdir()/closedir() cycle.
3804 I done minor cleanups in do_opendir(); in particular, it should
3805 probably always read RPC request first before doing anything else.
3806 Otherwise it will be read on next loop. Currently it is possible,
3807 that do_opendir() exits without fetching RPC request.
3809 Wed Aug 14 19:38:13 1996 Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>
3811 * mcfs.c: Cache the home directory for the mc file system. This
3812 one was causing an rpc message to be sent constantly for home
3813 directory operations.
3815 Wed Aug 14 20:30:09 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3817 * ftpfs.c (open_command_connection): Important ftpfs retry code
3818 bug fix: break from the retry loop. This caused a bug that made
3819 the program to keep retrying a connection even if it had
3820 successfully logged in.
3822 Mon Aug 12 17:30:09 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3824 * main.c (do_cd): Now takes an extra argument: it can be either
3825 cd_exact or cd_parse_command. If cd_exact is passed, then no
3826 further processing is done in do_cd for checking special directory
3827 names (- for lwd, and spaces removed at the beginning of the
3828 filename). If the parameter is cd_parse_command, then special
3829 interpreatation is performed.
3831 The rule is easy: if we are changing the working directory to a
3832 directory specified by the user, then we should use
3833 cd_parse_command. If we are changing to a directory whose name we
3834 got from a system call (readdir for example), we use cd_exact.
3836 Thu Aug 8 13:10:47 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3838 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_chdir, retrieve_dir): Do not send CWD commands if
3839 the directory we are changing to is the same we are on.
3841 * profile.c (load): Fixed a long standing bug (since I guess 0.3 or
3842 0.5). The bug had not shown until now: when a file controled by
3843 profile.c did not have a newline after the last definition on the
3844 file the value parameter would have been zero and this would make
3845 the program at some point free () a zero pointer if this case
3846 happened. This was not the case until I edited the extfs.ini file
3847 and removed all of the extra spaces there.
3849 Wed Aug 7 22:46:36 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3851 * extfs.c (extfs_init): Fixed idioticc bug I introduced in the
3852 last version: I removed the strdup in one place, thus the code was
3853 freeing two times a pointer. Janne's Memory Allocation Debugger
3854 pin pointed the bug in a second.
3856 * ftpfs.c: Fixed a file descriptor leak on ftpfs redial code
3857 reported by tony@trishul.sci.gu.edu.au
3859 (ftpfs_open_socket): Fixed an idiotic bug I introduced while
3860 merging the HSC patches. Little endian machines would not be able
3863 Tue Aug 6 13:09:26 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3865 * tcputil.c (tcp_init): Use sigaction instead of signal.
3867 Mon Aug 5 20:36:55 1996 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
3869 * extfs/rpm, cpio: Fixes to the rpm file system and a new cpio
3870 external file system
3872 * main.c (toggle_listing_cmd): When you press Alt-t it will toggle
3873 the display mode of the midnight commander.
3875 Tue Jul 23 13:36:33 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3877 * This is here just to comment that Juan has done a terrific job
3878 with the Windows NT port.
3880 Tue Jul 23 13:23:42 1996 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
3882 * myslang.h (baudrate): Provide port specific acs, noacs and
3885 * util.c (file_date): Copy the non existant permissions to timebuf
3888 * file.c (mc_ctl): NT does not have vfs yet.
3890 * main.c (main): Some commands do not exit on NT. Handle properly
3891 home_dir if the user has no HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH defined.
3893 * utilunix.c (save_stop_handler, my_statfs): These are per port
3894 functions and do not belong into util.c
3896 Wed Jul 17 18:15:07 1996 Benjamin Ryzman <Benjamin.Ryzman@hsc.fr>
3898 * ftpfs.c: Added support for the HSC firewall.
3900 Fri Jul 12 19:31:32 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
3902 * subshell.c: Hack to avoid the couldn't change to %s messages.
3904 Mon Jul 8 10:50:04 1996 Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@video.yars.free.net>
3906 * main.c (setup_sigwinch): Bug fix: initialize sa_flags on systems
3907 that do not have SA_RESTART defined.
3909 Thu Jul 4 14:25:41 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3911 * key.c (is_idle): Changed struct fd_set to fd_set in the two
3912 places where this did happen.
3914 Thu Jul 4 13:50:47 1996 Gregor Hoffleit <flight@mathi.uni-heidelberg.DE>
3916 * configure.in: create the malloc.h stub in the distribution
3917 directory instead of the src directory.
3919 * util.c (is_printable), utilunix.c (putenv): Provide putenv from
3920 GNU libc in case the OS does not have putenv (nextstep).
3922 * util.h: Add replacement for ISASCII
3924 * menu.c (menubar_handle_key): Use ISASCII instead of isascii,
3927 Tue Jul 2 14:29:36 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3929 * main.c (reload_panelized): Fix this routine. This is the
3930 culrpit of all of the panelize problems. The code was freeing
3931 pointers that were in use. Now I free the pointer when I notice
3932 it is not going to be used. Fixes the problem reported by Steven
3933 and Michael Sterret.
3935 Mon Jun 24 17:47:36 1996 D. Hugh Redelmeier <hugh@mimosa.com>
3937 * subshell.c (feed_subshell): Looking at this some more, I notice
3938 that &read_set is being modified by the select, but not
3939 re-initialized by the code! The initialization code precedes the
3940 loop, but should be inside it! Here is my version, with the
3941 initialization moved into the loop (remember to delete it from in
3944 Thu Jun 20 15:53:47 1996 Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@video.yars.free.net>
3946 * subshell.c (feed_subshell): Retry if we get EINTR (even if we
3947 have SA_RESTART solaris will deliver EINTR on SIGCHLD).
3949 Thu Jun 13 21:12:14 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3951 * file.c (copy_file_file): During non-local file systems that
3952 support mc_ctl, rotate the dash every 5 seconds or so, to keep the
3955 * cmd.c (do_link): Check that the other panel is actually a
3956 listing before attempting to use ->cwd.
3958 Tue Jun 11 18:36:09 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@mirage.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3960 * ext.c (regex_command): Editing of non local files should work now.
3962 Tue Jun 11 16:07:38 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3964 * ext.c, cmd.c: if the user edits the mc.ext file, flush the
3967 Mon May 20 12:27:58 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3969 * configure.in: check for putenv and isascii. Next does not have
3970 those. If malloc.h does not exist, create an empty file as a
3971 substitute (next too).
3973 Wed Jun 5 11:18:19 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
3975 * cons.saver.c, cons.handler.c, key.c: Misc changes to make
3976 mc work on SparcLinux (code written only for linux - like cons.saver
3977 handling - didn't care about endians...)
3979 Thu May 16 12:30:23 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3981 * view.c (view): Use the global Wview variable instead
3983 Wed May 15 20:24:55 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3985 * panelize.c: Provide extra space for temporary dirent structure.
3987 * win.c (check_movement_keys): Do not handle the C-b combination,
3988 it is used by the viewer for next/previous file.
3990 Mon May 13 09:11:27 1996 Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>
3992 * boxes.c (display_bits): Call proper help information.
3994 Mon May 6 21:20:39 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
3996 * file.c (copy_file_file): Should abort now ongoing transfers
3999 * ftpfs.c (initconn): Attempt to use passive ftp transfer mode if
4000 source routing is in effect. If this does not work, dump source
4001 routing and use regular method for ftp transfer.
4004 Thu May 2 19:29:07 1996 ?????
4006 * extfs/zip (DOZIPINFO): Fixed zipfs support for files with
4007 comments, lost mail address.
4009 Thu May 2 19:29:07 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4011 * vfs/vfs.c: minor parse fix.
4013 Thu May 2 19:25:09 1996 "Sergey Ya. Korshunoff" <root@seyko.msk.su>
4015 * configure.in: Check for libtermcap (new Linux libcs do not have
4016 libtermcap in libc).
4018 Tue Apr 30 20:58:34 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4020 * ftpfs.c (store_file): Remove temporary files after an outgoing
4023 Mon May 6 01:10:50 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4025 * extfs.c: Hack to get the a: and b: fs running (fixed couple of
4026 problems with external fs when no archive file was used
4028 * extfs.c (extfs_run): Allows you to "execute" some files inside
4029 of extfs - your script will be called with $1=run $2=archive $3=path,
4031 /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm run /home/jj/rpm-2.0-2.src.rpm INSTALL
4033 * vfs/Makefile.in: rpm script gets installed
4035 * vfs/extfs/rpm: Couple of changes to make rpmfs more powerful
4037 * vfs/extfs/a: Fixes - the ls -l parse in mc is quite strict
4038 about date, so that it wasn't happy by 2-24-96 (correct is 02-24-96)
4040 * layout.c: New checkbox in the Layout dialog. When running on xterm
4041 and Xterm hintbar is checked, hintbar will be put into the xterm's
4042 title bar, so that you'll save space - will have more lines for file
4045 * main.c: Fix, so that it is possible to do quick searches for
4046 characters like +, -. In order to select/unselect, you have to press
4047 escape twice before +, -.
4049 Mon Apr 29 21:34:53 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4051 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Documented startup shell scripts.
4053 * find.c (do_search): Added directory exclusion.
4055 Mon Apr 29 08:42:52 1996 Adam Tla/lka <atlka@pg.gda.pl>
4057 * cmd.c (view_file): Return value, fixes Soalris crash.
4059 Fri Apr 26 18:10:10 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4061 * ftpfs.c (initconn): Added source routing to ftpfs, he he, this
4062 lets you specify a specific route for your ftp traffic :-). It is
4063 still missing the passive open code, so it currenly is only able
4064 to send commands trough the source route. This code is disabled
4065 by default, it requires human intervention (ie, editting config.h
4066 and specifying HAVE_SETSOCKOPT).
4068 Thu Apr 25 11:11:08 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4070 * cmd.c (source_routing): Added source routing option to sockets,
4073 Wed Apr 24 22:12:50 1996 Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@video.yars.free.net>
4075 * key.c: touch window for ncurses.
4077 * color.c: use proper colors for ncurses.
4079 Fri Apr 19 09:02:51 1996 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
4081 * vfs.h (vfs_canon): On the non-vfs definition return a strdupped
4082 version of the string, just like vfs_canon does.
4084 * profile.h: Do not include profile prototypes routines present on
4087 * key.nt.c, slint.nt.c, utilnt.c: updated, look at README.NT
4089 Thu Apr 18 20:35:03 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4091 * subshell.c (exit_subshell): Do not ask for confirmation for
4092 killing subshell when it is already dead.
4094 * Do not return after invoking subshell, let the code reinit slang
4095 and let it shutdown properly.
4097 Wed Apr 17 10:03:57 1996 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
4099 * extfs/rpm: Added new rpm file system. This one lets you browse
4102 Wed Apr 10 17:05:57 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4104 * utilunix.c (tilde_expand): Now returns 0 if the home directory
4105 for the tilde expansion does not work.
4107 * vfs.c (vfs_canon): Check for tilde_expand results.
4109 * complete.c (command_completion_function): Check for return
4110 values from tilde expand.
4112 * wtools.c (input_expand_dialog): Check for tilde_expand result.
4114 Tue Apr 9 20:06:03 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4116 * main.c (create_panels): both startup directories are now handled
4117 properly (for those cases where the second directory was relative
4118 to the startup working directory)
4120 * subshell.c (do_subshell_chdir): Added proper quoting of
4121 directories, should get rid of the problems with directories with
4122 spaces (common now for those using windows)
4124 Thu Apr 4 11:03:07 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4126 * chown.c (chown_cmd): Check for return values of getpwnam and
4127 getgrnam, bug report by Mikhail Savitski <mms@eiscathq.irf.se>
4129 Fri Mar 29 18:00:11 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4131 * From: Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>: Fix the documentation
4132 on the keywords for setting colors
4134 Wed Mar 27 19:58:32 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4136 * tree.c: If configuration variable xtree_mode is true then when
4137 browsin with the tree panel the other panel will reload the
4138 contents of the panel.
4140 * tkmain.c, key.c: Should compile and link with latest release of
4143 Mon Mar 11 09:53:10 1996 John Ioannou <roryt@compulink.gr>
4145 * cmd.c (do_link): Suggest symlink names. (get_random_hint): make
4148 * utilunix.c (gettimeofday): Contrinuted this routine for SCO machines.
4150 Mon Mar 11 09:47:15 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4152 * Makefile.in: Split the util.c file in three pieces: utilunix.c:
4153 util routines pertinent to Unix; utilnt.c: util routines for
4154 Windows NT (from Juan Grigera) and util.c that has the OS
4155 independent (well, mostly)
4157 Tue Mar 5 19:28:35 1996 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
4159 * boxes.c (sort_box): Add case sensitivity to the menu.
4161 * user.c (execute_menu_command): windows nt requires a .cmd
4162 extension to execute commands. Fix a return path that did not
4163 close nor unlink the file.
4165 * chmod.c: now we have working chmod.
4167 * hotlist.c: use the proper path separator, do not pass a non used
4168 parameter to update_path_name
4170 * dir.c, panelize.c, boxes.h, setup.c: added support for case
4171 sensitive sorting (for windows nt).
4173 Mon Mar 4 17:08:22 1996 Mark Olessen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
4175 * container.c, sldisply.c: Include config.h before anything else.
4177 * tcputil.c (sig_pipe): AIX requires an int parameter
4179 * sltermin.c: changes to compile slang on AIX.
4181 Mon Mar 4 09:29:32 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4183 * profile.c (GetSetProfileChar): Fixed bug when the AppName was
4184 zero. This could be the case if one of the keys in the profile
4187 * info.c (info_show_info): Fixed crash when info was displayed on
4190 Mon Mar 4 08:17:27 1996 Anatoly A. Kulakov (kulakov@JamesBond.inp.nsk.su)
4192 * mc.lib: for xterms and xterm-colors define the page up and page
4195 * nt/Makefile: remove spurious backslash
4197 * src/dlg.h: Do not give a name to the Widget_messages enum (some
4198 compilers can't handlte this).
4200 Sat Mar 2 10:27:24 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4202 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): Call my_system (1, shell, NULL) instead
4203 of my_system (1, shell, ""). This allows one have a shell spawned
4204 when pressing C-o and the subshell code is not activated.
4206 Tue Feb 27 21:52:21 1996 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
4208 * More Windows NT code.
4210 Tue Feb 27 21:52:21 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4212 * ftpfs: Now the program will retry logins if the server is too
4215 * view.c, cmd.c: C-f and C-b will take you to the previous and
4216 next files on the panels.
4218 Fri Feb 23 08:51:44 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4220 * tree.c (my_mkdir_rec): Do not create recursive directories if
4221 the file system is not the local one. I should actually fix this
4222 to use a routine that checks if the pathname is already at the top
4223 directory for that filesystem.
4225 Wed Feb 21 09:58:22 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4227 * ftpfs.c: fix symlink file handling for ftpfs file systems. If we are a
4228 symlinks and follow symlinks is set, we should operate on the
4229 pointed to file stat information, not the symlink information.
4231 * ftpfs.c (open_command_connection): Setup the proxy field, added
4234 Fri Jan 19 12:00:00 1996 Mark Olesen (olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca)
4236 * Include config.h allways before any other include file, this
4237 fixes compilation on AIX.
4239 Fri Jan 19 12:00:00 1996 Miguel de Icaza
4241 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Enable the interrupt key when doing
4242 the feed subshell, if the subshell code hangs, we will turn of the
4243 subshell support and allow the user to press C-c.
4245 Tue Jan 16 11:28:58 1996 SGI portability fixes.
4247 * I lost the mail with the author name, could you tell me who are
4250 * widget.h: removed enum names. Broken sgi compiled complains
4253 * tar.h: Removed trailing ,.
4255 * dir.h: Define sort_orders as external.
4257 Tue Jan 9 11:47:47 1996 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4259 * configure.in: Define USE_SETUPTERM only if the sample program
4260 included in configure is compiled successfully. This is required
4261 because some systems have setupterm but are lacking the macros we
4264 Tue Jan 2 17:01:23 1996 Carl Thompson <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4266 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Use the builtin $cwd variable and
4267 echo instead of invoking an external pwd command. This fixes
4270 Sun Dec 31 17:46:39 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw>
4272 * layout.c (print_vfs_message): Check midnight_shutdown first.
4274 Fri Dec 29 19:10:25 1995 Juan Grigera <grigera@isis.unlp.edu.ar>
4276 * various portability changes to the Midnight Commander so that it
4277 runs under Windows NT.
4279 Fri Dec 29 19:09:23 1995 Antonio Palama <palama@posso.dm.unipi.it>
4281 * main.c: For Windows NT, Juan Grigera hacked the drive_cmd.
4283 Tue Jan 2 00:51:12 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4285 * complete.c (filename_completion_function): Fixed one completion
4288 * ftpfs.c (store_file, ftpfs_open): Fixed uploading of files using
4291 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_chown): Don't always cry that you cannot chown
4292 using ftp - everyone should know it and who cares - but for root
4293 this was shouting for each file :(
4295 * vfs.c, undelfs.c: Changed the vfs prefix to `undel:' from
4296 `undelfs:'. So you specify cd undel:/dev/hda1. This is similar
4297 to how we do ftp (not ftpfs://) etc.
4299 * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Made more robust, so that it handles again
4300 listings from extfs (with all date formats), doesn't mind if someone
4301 is not supplying gid and handles even if major,minor are printed
4302 without an intervening space (like 14,5).
4304 * vfs.c (vfs_canon): Fixed a bug, which made an endless loop when
4305 trying to enter an extfs archive (like zip:), where the archive name
4306 was not absolute. Together with the previous bug fix, zip files
4307 should work again well :)
4309 Sat Dec 23 16:55:54 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4311 * vfs/undelfs.c, vfs/vfs.c: Add support for the Undelete file
4314 Sat Dec 23 16:55:25 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw>b
4316 * configure.in: Fixed bug in curses detection for OSF/1.
4317 sltermin.h: include config.h.
4319 Thu Dec 21 19:25:48 1995 Carl Thompson <clip@clip.clark.net>
4321 * file.c: This is just a one line patch to fix a bug in the
4322 Midnight Commander. When a delete operation is attempted while
4323 delete confirmation is turned off, it pops up a destination
4324 directory dialog box instead of just deleting the file. This
4325 dialog box is unused and defeats the purpose of having delete
4328 Mon Dec 18 18:44:16 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4330 * main.c (midnight_callback): Do not handle the +, - and / keys
4331 specially if the panel is in search mode.
4333 Fri Dec 15 12:38:18 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4335 * file.c (copy_dir_dir): When copying directories recursively,
4336 make sure the directory have write permission. Before returning,
4337 use chmod to set the correct directory attribute.
4339 Sat Dec 16 16:40:14 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4341 * util.c (resolve_symlinks, diff_two_paths): New utility functions:
4342 the first one traces a symlink as much as possible, so that the
4343 final returned (mallocated) path contains no symlink steps at all.
4344 The latter one takes two paths and creates a relative path from the
4345 first one to the second one, as short as possible.
4347 * file.c: Stable symlinks should now keep relative symlinks
4348 relative, using the above mentioned functions.
4350 * panel.h: Switches some boolean flags into a bit-field.
4352 * cmd.c, screen.c: Directory total should be now displayed
4353 correctly, i.e. if not Show Dir Sizes is active, it shouldn't count
4354 them at all, if it is active, it should sum these sizes as well and
4355 when changing from not active to active (via F9 C I) or back (C-R),
4356 adapt the total correctly :)
4358 * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Should now handle No{v,tw}ell listings
4361 * cmd.c (other_symlink_cmd): New command - C-x C-l. Makes a relative
4362 symlink to the selection of the current panel, defaults to a file
4363 in the other panel. The symlink value is shortest possible, so that
4364 it may optionally fit into inode itself, if the fs supports this.
4366 Thu Dec 7 13:15:30 1995 Sergey Ya. Korshunoff <root@seyko.msk.su>
4368 * layout.c (layout_callback): Fixed the constants for the menubar.
4370 * If we try turn off command prompt from Option->Layout,
4371 then we will see command propt again (no Hint if it
4374 * widget.c: Removing first element from User listing mode list
4377 Thu Dec 7 13:00:20 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4379 * file.c: Stable symlinks works for copying (i.e. the symlink
4380 points to the location it should), but it is not like I would
4381 like it to be - there has to be an algorithm, which will try
4382 to reduce the size of the symlink as much as possible and
4383 not just making absolute symlinks from relative :( This is only
4384 a short time solution.
4386 Thu Dec 7 00:00:00 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4388 * cmd.c (edit_symlink_cmd): New function, binded to C-x C-s.
4389 Allows to edit the content of the symlink.
4391 * file.c: Move should now work when dive_into_subdirs is not
4392 set, i.e. you can finally move two similar subtrees into one.
4393 It tries to use move as much as possible and where it is not
4394 possible, it does a copy and delete strategy. Also, prepared things
4395 for next patch, which will allow copying/moving of relative symlinks,
4396 so that they'll point to the same location as before.
4398 * setup.c: Users can save their defaults of dive_into_subdirs
4401 * help.c, xv/xvhelp.c, xv/xvscreen.c: xv edition should now compile :)
4403 * screen.c: New keystroke M-l, which chdirs in the other panel to
4404 directory where current symlink points to (even if it doesn't point
4405 to a directory - then other panel will become the directory where a
4406 file the symlink points to is located).
4408 * main.c (copy_current_readlink, copy_other_readlink): New keystrokes
4409 C-x r, C-x C-r. If current/other panel's selection is a symlink,
4410 readlink value will be inserted into the command line.
4412 Wed Dec 6 13:21:21 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4414 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_chdir): Better reconnect code on chdir.
4416 * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): ftpfs will work with directories that have
4417 spaces in their name (".. " and ". ." will both work for example).
4419 (parse_ls_lga): Support for servers that do not provide the
4420 groupname even when asked to.
4422 Wed Dec 6 11:01:17 1995 Sergey Ya. Korshunoff <root@seyko.msk.su>
4424 * mc.lib, win.c: Handle some more key pad keys on the
4425 use_alternate_keypad_mode.
4427 * main.c (midnight_callback): New option only_leading_plus_minus=1
4428 in ~/.mc.ini set special treatment for '+', '-', '*' in command
4429 line (select, unselect, inverse selection) only if command line is
4430 empty. No need to qoute this characters in middle of command
4431 line. But we cant change selection when command line is not empty.
4434 * main.c (midnight_callback): Added missing terminator for the
4435 default_map keyboard map.
4437 * main.c (done_mc_profile): Do not sync_profiles if
4438 auto_save_setup is not set. This plus the fix below should avoid
4439 most cases of .mc.ini overriding (the exceptions are when the
4440 hotlist or the panelize options commands are used).
4442 Wed Dec 6 11:00:00 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4444 * panelize.c (save_panelize), hotlist.c (save_hotlist): call
4445 sync_profiles since now at program shutdown if auto-save setup is
4446 not set we won't do the updating.
4448 Mon Dec 4 11:32:02 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw>
4450 * sltermin.c: Provide an alternate way if setupterm is defined on
4451 curses to retrieve terminal capabilities. This fixes the line
4452 drawing problems on OSF/1 (and hopefully on AIX as well).
4454 Mon Nov 27 21:08:41 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4456 * tree.c (load_tree): Finally fixed the tree-loading crash when
4457 the .mc.tree file was corrupt.
4458 (tree_key): Do not eat characters not meant for the trereree below
4461 Fri Nov 24 19:54:01 1995 Ilya Rybkin (rybkin@rouge.phys.lsu.edu)
4463 * user.c (strip_ext): Basename macor (%b, %B)
4464 * user.c: Do not add space to temporary files, so that the #!
4465 works for the script files.
4467 * key.c: Allow the M-? sequence to be generated (find file).
4469 * wtools.c: Do not make the cancel button the default action.
4471 Thu Nov 23 13:51:11 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw>
4473 * slint.c (slang_init), sldisply.c: Fix the USE_TERMCAP usage. It
4474 should now allow FreeBSD and Nextstep users to use the arrow keys.
4476 Mon Nov 20 14:25:59 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw>
4478 * main.c (main): Call vfs shut before shutting down the window system.
4480 Thu Nov 16 23:08:17 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4482 * lib/Makefile.in: Fixed install goal for the mc.ext file.
4484 * file.c (copy_file_file): If appending, do not change mtime &
4485 owner & permissions - leave them all untouched as they were at
4486 the original target file you were appending to.
4488 * widget.c, cmd.c: Changed input line history behaviour.
4489 Now the history shouldn't remember same lines when they follow
4490 each other, then shouldn't remember empty lines at all, but
4491 also, once a line is added into history, it should stay there
4492 forever, so that you can repeat it again (previously, if you've
4493 moved using M-p and M-n onto any line in the history and changed
4494 it, you lost the original line from the history).
4496 Wed Nov 15 12:22:47 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4498 * ftpfs.c (command, is_connection_closed, ftpfs_chdir): Check for
4499 dropped connections. In the past the is_connection_closed routine
4500 actually attempted to read from the connection but this caused a
4501 problem (remember the hang connections for small files?).
4503 (ftpfs_setctl): vfs_canon the filename.
4505 Mon Nov 13 10:28:42 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4507 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_ctl): Now it will be able to flush the directory
4508 cache (used by C-r in the main program); increased the ftpfs
4509 directory timeout; C-r now works for ftp file systems.
4511 * profile.c: increased the line size to 4k, should fix this and do
4514 Wed Nov 8 10:04:55 1995 Sergey Ya. Korshunoff <root@seyko.msk.su>
4516 * widget.c (listbox_remove_current): listbox_remove_current:
4517 free() at subroutine end make free not old current position but
4518 new one. Removing all entries in the listbox causes problems when
4519 routine return. This patch don't allow listbox with no
4520 elements. IMHO it's not bad (we always show something insteed of
4523 * wtools.c (remove_callback): On listbox with user display formats
4524 <r> hot key removes entry and show new listbox state. When we
4525 select [Remove] button with mouse or <TAB>, then we dont see new
4526 listbox state. Ugly hack, but works OK.
4528 * layout.c (swap_panels): Fixed crash: Now we change the
4529 definitions of left_panel and right_panel.
4531 * chmod.c (chmod_refresh): use REVERSE_COLOR instead of
4534 * color.h: COLOR_FOCUS now uses A_BOLD instead of A_REVERSE,
4535 COLOR_HOT_FOCUS is now 0 inseat of REVERSE|BOLD.
4537 * tree.c: Different colors
4539 * boxes.c (display_callback): After selecting user listing format
4540 from listbox we see old format string. When we press LEFT, RIGHT
4541 or other key we see a new one.
4543 Thu Nov 2 17:03:37 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4545 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_ctl): Clear the localname
4546 (ftpfs_ungetlocalcopy): Keep in sync: if we free
4547 local_filename in an ftpfsentry, clear it.
4549 Tue Oct 31 16:57:57 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4551 * help.c (interactive_display): I wonder why I code so badly?
4553 Mon Oct 30 16:16:22 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4555 * view.c (view_handle_key): Some additions so that in the future I
4556 will be able to make the viewer work as tail -f [Not yet ready].
4558 * dlg.h: New WIDGET_IDLE message. W_WANT_IDLE flag defined.
4560 * dlg.c: The default routine for dialogs now handles the DLG_IDLE
4561 message and broadcasts it to all the widgets in the current Dialog
4564 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_ctl): Get the reply before closing the data
4565 connection. (command, get_line, get_line): Keep a log of the ftp
4566 dialog (also new flag on main.c)
4568 Mon Oct 30 11:26:09 1995 Sergey Ya. Korshunoff <root@seyko.msk.su>
4570 * slgetkey.c: move the DEC 8bit hack to the slint.c file.
4572 * boxes.c (display_callback): Button 'u' did not work as the other
4575 * boxes.c (display_callback): User listing format selection by C-c
4576 don't work with SLANG. SLANG convert C-c to C-g. This patch
4577 correct this. But emove patch from list dont wotk (general
4580 * screen.c (paint_frame): Moving files in brief panel format
4581 corrected. (move_up, move_down): Allows to configure if scrolling
4582 is going to be line by line or page by page with the
4583 panel_scroll_pages setting.
4586 * view.c (view_labels): Don't setup wrap mode on in view module
4587 every time when view called. Show UnWrap label when wrap_mode on.
4589 Mon Oct 30 11:17:25 1995 Gerd Knorr <kraxel@cs.tu-berlin.de>
4591 * configure.in, mc.ext.in: Use autoconf for the MANDOC and -Tascii
4592 detection instead of doing our own seding at make time.
4594 Thu Oct 26 18:03:50 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4596 * file.c (check_hardlinks): Avoid hardlink checks only if
4599 * vfs.c (vfs_file_is_ftp): guess.
4601 Tue Oct 24 17:36:15 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4603 * help.c (interactive_display): Help should not crash at help
4604 startup when prev_node_cmd is invoked.
4606 Thu Oct 26 15:15:04 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
4608 * file.c (check_hardlinks): Hack, so that no more cyclic hardlinks
4609 appear on Slowaris - stupid kernel, which makes it possible to
4610 link directories :(. Disabled hardlink cache for all non-local
4611 vfs's. Where do we need it? Ftp cannot handle it, tar is still read
4614 * cmd.c ((un)select_cmd): Fixed a problem when .. directory is a
4615 symlink (i.e. grand parent of current directory is a symlink).
4617 Tue Oct 24 11:09:05 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4619 * main.c (create_panels): Loading of the proper other directory at
4622 Fri Oct 20 19:55:48 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4624 * subshell.c (init_subshell): ZSH: use pwd>&%d instead of
4625 pwd>>&%d, I hope to get this one right this time.
4627 Wed Oct 18 17:58:11 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4629 * panelize.c (do_external_panelize): fixed the ghost marked files
4632 Tue Oct 17 19:15:10 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4634 * vfs.h: ftp copies should work on the alpha again.
4636 Thu Oct 12 16:44:02 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4638 * file.c (copy_file_file: for the ftpfs case): Instead of
4639 incrementing the file size by 8192 bytes, we should increment by
4640 the actual bytes trasfered
4642 Wed Oct 11 20:19:28 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4644 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_ctl): Now the FINISHREMOTE message actually
4645 aborts the ftp transfer.0
4647 * slang.h: Fixed color problem on some linuces with the Unicode
4648 support. Now we only define linux_unicode here if we are on linux
4649 and there is support for it. This caused the strange non-color
4650 problem on some versions of Linux.
4652 Wed Oct 11 13:09:27 1995 Adam Tla/lka <atlka@sunrise.pg.gda.pl>
4654 * help.c (show): Puts the cursor over the currently selected link.
4656 * xnc.hlp: Fixed the help corrupt problem.
4658 Sat Oct 7 16:40:21 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
4660 * file.c, ftpfs.c: First trial to make copying from FTPFS work as
4661 it should work, i.e. if we have no local copy yet, copy it directly
4662 and not through temp and also copy it from within the main
4663 copy_file_file loop and not fetch it before and then copy the local,
4664 so that e.g. the progress bar will be displayed correctly.
4666 Thu Oct 5 15:35:36 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4668 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): It's obvious that one of this days I
4669 will have to learn programming and to write bug free code for
4670 programs that are > 10 lines.
4672 Now, the good news: Finally I got rid of the ugly constant in
4673 terms.c for changing the font on xterms (the esc + "(" + 0 thing),
4674 this means that the kanji char set should work on the viewer and
4675 also means that slang will redraw correcly the screen.
4677 * main.c (setup_mc_viewer): Create a fake panel for the viewer
4678 when the mc is invoked in viewer mode. Needed, since
4679 expand_format will want to use cpanel to extract the file name.
4681 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): C-o should give a shell even for users
4682 without the subshell support. I'm not sure if this is a good
4685 Wed Oct 4 13:45:21 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4687 * ftpfs.c (retrieve_file): Moved the disable_interrupt_key to the
4690 * find.c (find_callback): Now you can use F3 and F13 to view at
4691 the files found on the find panel without leaving the find box.
4693 * view.c (do_view_init): Implemented view markers, use nm and nr
4694 (where n is a number between 0 and 9) to set the nth mark and to
4695 jump to the nth part respectively
4697 * main.c (create_panels): Current panel set to a panel that is in
4698 the view_listing mode (before it was set always to the left_panel).
4700 Thu Sep 28 12:06:46 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4702 * help.c (interactive_display): Really, this time the help is fixed.
4704 * vfs.c (vfs_stamp_path): Provide a way to stamp the file systems
4705 that are on the panels. This is called from main.c just before
4706 disposing the panels, so that the vfs's have a chance to shutdown
4707 (and cleanup /tmp as torben reported :-)
4709 * option.c: Replaced 8-bit display with navigate-with-arrows,
4710 since Display Bits already handles the 8 bit setting.
4712 * learn.c (learn_save): Loop only from 0 to learn_total. The
4713 learnkeys array is smaller than the key_name_conv_tab (fixes a
4716 * screen.c: Now the F13 should clear also the search status.
4718 * view.c (change_viewer): Fixed program crash when the viewer was
4719 invoked as a filtered view.
4721 * dir.c (do_load_dir): Ok, we can open a directory, but I have
4722 found the first empty directory in my life (no . nor ..: the
4723 remote systems nfs directory does not exist any longer).
4725 Wed Sep 27 11:07:43 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4727 * main.c (do_nc): Starting the Midnight Commander as a file viewer
4728 should be faster now
4730 * view.c (view_handle_key): Started implementation of reverse
4731 search, use the C-r and '?' keys to activate normal and regex
4732 reverse search respectively. May still have bugs.
4734 * ftpfs.c (open_command_connection): Initialize the complete
4735 bucket structure, this fixes the crash when the password is not
4736 answered (when tryingo to reconnect to an ftp server).
4738 * util.c (strip_home): Check return values from ftpfs_gethome and
4741 * boxes.c (display_bits_box): Stupid bug fixed: now it should
4742 reflect the internal setting of the display variables.
4744 * help.c (interactive_display): Now history_ptr always is between
4745 0 and HISTORY_SIZE - 1, this should fix the crash reported by
4748 * view.c (block_search, search): small changes (should be somewhat
4751 * main.c (setup_mc): Add the select channel for load_prompt after
4752 panels have been created (so, calling get_event before this
4753 (mc_chdir on an ftpfs may do this) won't try to invoke the load
4756 Wed Sep 27 11:03:21 1995 Gerd Knorr <kraxel@cs.tu-berlin.de>
4758 * main.c (handle_args, create_panels, setup_mc): Allowed the
4759 program to be passed a vfs path name by making the mc_chdir call
4760 to be done after slang has been setup (the ftpfs and mcfs both may
4761 need to use slang to ask for a password).
4763 Tue Sep 26 20:38:57 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4765 * view.c (view_callback): Removed call to view_status before
4766 view_update on WIDGET_KEY message, this should work, if not, I
4767 should put it back or put the view_updated on the proper places.
4768 (search): On non-hex view the viewer now shows the search status.
4769 (block_search): Coded but untested: also the hex view should
4770 report the search status. I wonder if it will work.
4772 * boxes.c: 8 bits should work now with slang correctly.
4774 Tue Sep 26 11:36:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
4776 * screen.c: If a column for size is more narrow than actual size
4777 can fit in, show number of Kilobytes or Megabytes or Gigabytes
4778 instead and do not strip the most important digits (like e.g.
4779 a 4e6B file was shown equally to a 104e6 file).
4781 Sat Sep 23 00:27:05 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
4783 * mc.sgml, linuxdoc-sgml.diff: I hope I have managed to fix the
4784 problems I has been aware of with backslashes, tildes etc. I do not
4785 know about any further conversion problem.
4787 Thu Sep 21 20:21:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4789 * widget.c (button_callback): Global kill ring.
4791 Thu Sep 21 23:09:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
4793 * converted the documentation to mc.sgml (linux-doc DTD), so that
4794 from one source (mc.sgml) you can generate mc.1, mc.hlp, mc.texi,
4795 mc.info, mc.html, mc.tex, mc.dvi, mc.ps, mc.txt (and some other
4796 formats). To convert this, you have to install Matt Welsh's
4797 linuxdoc-sgml-utils and apply patch from the our doc directory.
4798 (linuxdoc-sgml is only name of the dtd, it is not useful for Linux
4799 only, but the name is like this only because linuxdoc sgml utilities
4800 were developed primarily for Linux HOWTO documentation and LDP).
4801 src/mc.hlp file is generated from mc.sgml, so you can get some
4804 * configure.in: Fixed an awful bug with the gpm library.
4806 Thu Sep 21 11:56:08 1995 John E. Davis (davis@space.mit.edu)
4808 * sldisply.c: Should now use the acsc definition from the terminal
4809 database instead of the hardcoded values.
4811 Thu Sep 21 11:13:41 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4813 * main.c (handle_args): Now you have to use the -v [file] flag to make
4814 the Midnight Commander start up in the viewer mode on the file file.
4816 Wed Sep 20 16:38:44 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4818 * achown.c (next_file): Chown and advanced chown should work now
4819 when setting all of the tagged files.
4821 * wtools.c (input_dialog_help): Input dialogs now have nice
4822 buttons so that mouse users will not complain
4823 (create_listbox_window): Added cancel button.
4825 * tcputil.c (lookup_netrc): Avoid a program crash.
4827 * help.c (help_event): Fixed crash when the user pressed the left
4830 Wed Sep 20 10:16:27 1995 Ching Hui <Nicholas@u811571.JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
4832 * panelize.c: Fix the hang problem on OSF/1.
4834 * subshell.c: Open the slave side of the pty on the parent code
4835 just after opening the master side, then close it on the parent
4836 code. No need to use the sigusr1 sync code anymore and it's
4837 working on Solaris, Linux and OSF/1.
4839 Tue Sep 19 21:04:25 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4841 * view.c (view_new): Initialize last_read, should fix the bug
4842 with reformatting pages.
4844 * user.c (check_format_var): Added the %var macro. Now tcsh users
4845 will be able to use the stock mc.ext file.
4847 * ftpfs.c (send_ftp_command, ftpfs_hint_reread): Now you can
4848 specify blocks of operation that will disable ftp's code to reread
4849 the directory on each operation.
4851 Sat Sep 16 18:56:51 1995 Alessandro Rubini <rubini@ipvvis.unipv.it>
4853 * Makefile.in: Abort make process if one of the submakes fails.
4855 Sat Sep 16 18:56:51 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4857 * tcputil.c (open_tcp_link), ftpfs.c (ftpfs_open_socket): Check for
4860 Sat Sep 16 18:33:38 1995 Perry Francis Nguyen <pfnguyen@netcom.com>
4862 * subshell.c: Fixed the subshell hanging when the noclobber option
4865 Sat Sep 16 15:37:41 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
4867 * subshell.c: Tidied up a bit and re-created the fold structure.
4868 (P.S. Try the emacs package folding.el to view/edit subshell.c)
4870 * Makefile.in, */Makefile.in: Made `make distclean' leave the
4871 directory tree truly pristine.
4873 * key.c, view.c, ext.c, layout.c, complete.c, cmd.c, tcputil.c,
4874 vfs.c and extfs.c: Fixed some nasty compilation warnings, some of
4875 which were definite bugs.
4877 * extfs.c: extfs_getlocalcopy wasn't returning any value.
4879 * tcputil.c (ruserpass): Can't use copy_strings() here, because
4880 mcserv won't link. Replaced with strcpy() and strcat().
4882 Sat Sep 16 01:54:41 1995 Ching Hui <Nicholas@u811571.JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
4884 * ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink): resolve symbolic links by send the
4885 command "LIST -Lla" to server.
4887 * vfs/Makefile.in: delete mcserv.c entry variable NETFILES.
4889 Fri Sep 13 23:41:17 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
4891 * main.c, key.c: New mc.ini option - alternate_plus_minus.
4892 If set, plus and backslash keys will work normally (i.e. insert
4893 + and \), plus/minus/asterix on keypad will select/deselect/reverse
4894 and M-+, M-- (M-\), M-* will do the same.
4896 * tcputil.c: .netrc support. Currently is angry on users which have
4897 .netrc readable by anybody else than owner, if it contains any
4898 non-anonymous password. Perhaps, if it has good permissions, but
4899 contains secret passwords, we should remember it and instead of
4900 about 25% hints display a hint to remove them...
4902 Wed Sep 13 09:31:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
4904 * slang/*, main.c, screen.c: Some basic Linux Unicode support.
4905 I cannot force the kernel to tell current Unicode UTF state, so
4906 this has to be forced on the command line by running mc -N.
4908 Thu Sep 14 23:54:25 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
4910 * util.c (strip_home), vfs.c (vfs_canon), ftpfs.c, mcfs.c:
4911 Handling of home directory (cd ftp://jfch.vc.cvut.cz/~/private)
4912 and .. directory in the ftp root (will bring you to the directory
4913 you have entered ftp from). nice_cd (cd via Network/Ftp link) will
4914 append the home /~/ for you.
4916 * widget.c (buttonbar_callback): In SLang, paint also buttonbar
4917 numbers correctly fg on bg.
4919 Tue Sep 12 20:21:35 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4921 * ftpfs.c (store_file): Small change to allow compilation on
4922 primitive systems that use a flag for SO_LINGER instead of a
4925 Tue Sep 12 10:25:01 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
4927 * Make.common.in, */Makefile.in, configure.in: Fixed and cleaned
4928 all the Make.common and dependency stuff. Now we do not patch
4929 Makefiles for non-GNU make ourselves, but leave that job on
4930 autoconf. If non-GNU make, we put dependencies into the Makefiles
4931 and if your make supports stem rules (e.g. %.o : %.c), then
4932 we use them to avoid unnecessary relinking. Now the dependency
4933 stuff should always work like you expect.
4935 Mon Sep 11 15:05:04 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4937 * menu.c (menubar_paint_idx): Paint first letter when no matching
4938 hotkey has been found.
4940 * find.c (do_find): Allow chdir to selected directories
4942 * screen.c (do_file_mark): Do not count the directory size when
4943 tagging directories.
4945 * slang/: Upgraded Slang to 0.99.20
4947 * menu.c (menubar_event): Fixed the dropping menubar problem with GPM.
4949 * subshell.c: Use the SIGUSR1 syncronization always (before it
4950 only was used with SysV).
4952 * init_sigchld is now always called from main.c instead of
4953 allowing the subshell to setup the sigchld handler. Ching's fixes
4954 to the waitpid routine (made on Jun 27) make this possible.
4955 Should finally fix all the problems with SunOS.
4957 Sun Sep 10 02:06:05 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
4959 * mcserv.c (get_port_number): there must not be any references to
4960 IPPORT_RESERVED outside the "#ifdef HAVE_RRESVPORT" block, because
4961 it probably won't be defined. Also simplified the code a little.
4963 Sun Sep 10 14:57:04 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
4965 * configure.in, Make*: Make.common handling is now done much cleaner
4966 using the autoconf features. Also, dependencies now work for all
4967 make programs, not only GNU. And last, but not least, fixed a thing
4968 which didn't allow cross-compiling...
4970 Sat Sep 9 10:03:13 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
4972 * */Makefile.in: Moved goals for libvfs.a and libmcslang.a back
4973 from Make.common.in, since there is a collision in slang and vfs
4976 * depend.awk: Fixed so that it never generates duplicate goals.
4977 A pain are symlinks, but at least my GNU make doesn't find anything
4978 suspicious (like there may be goals for src/util.h and xv/util.h,
4979 which is a link to ../src/util.h). This is not possible to be done
4980 in awk. The perl script will do it correctly...
4982 Fri Sep 8 17:53:14 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4984 * layout.c (set_display_type), screen: Misc fixes. Containers are
4985 not always WPanel *. I should rewrite the code to use containers
4986 for the information that must be shared between panels.
4988 Sat Sep 9 01:16:11 1995 Ching Hui <br811563@csa2.cs.nthu.edu.tw>
4990 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_current_directory): New function.
4992 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_chdir): remember current remote directory.
4994 * ftpfs: The active vfs list now should also report the working
4995 directory on an ftpfs.
4997 Thu Sep 7 16:59:13 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
4999 * menu.c: Misc menubar fixes.
5001 * tree.c (event_callback): God it was easy to fix one part of the
5004 * key.c (get_key_code): Simplified the Meta-hanlding.
5006 Thu Sep 7 12:58:26 1995 Thanh Ma (tma@encore.com)
5008 * mcfs.c: Small bug fix: do not return a value from a void routine.
5010 Thu Sep 7 12:06:27 1995 Juan Jose Ciarlante <jjciarla@raiz.uncu.edu.ar>
5012 * subshell.c: On SCO do not compile the TIOCGWINSZ code even if
5013 SCO has it. Wrote SCO versions of pty_open_slave and
5016 Fri Sep 8 02:07:07 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
5018 * depend.awk, */Makefile.in: Alternate make dep mechanism if you
5019 have awk. It is much faster (three up to four times) and
5020 finds dependencies even for libraries from other directories
5021 (libmcslang and libvfs).
5023 Thu Sep 7 10:45:01 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5025 * Make.common.in, Makefile.in, */Makefile.in: Reorganized, so that
5026 commonly used things are all in one file (Make.common), so that
5027 e.g. if you want to define other CFLAGS by hand, you go to
5028 Make.common. Also, reduces the possibility of errors, since all
5029 variables (like the installation paths) have to be typed once.
5030 If your make doesn't support include directive, we deal with it
5031 in config.status and include it for you instead of make.
5033 * view.c (get_line_at): Fixed awful bug which caused view not to
5034 find anything on lines longer than 158 bytes.
5036 * extfs.c (extfs_init): We now free the extfs.ini profile, so that
5037 it won't be overwritten and is thus save to be edited by hand.
5039 Fri Sep 8 02:48:23 1995 Ching Hui <Nicholas@u811571.JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
5041 * panelize.c (add2panelize_cmd): get the correct input from pname.
5043 * ftpfs.c: set errno to 0 before call the fgets.
5045 Wed Sep 6 10:08:59 1995 Marcelo and Juan Jose jjciarla@raiz.uncu.edu.ar
5047 * src/tty.h: define correctly the macros to enable/disable the
5050 Wed Sep 6 10:07:17 1995 Steven N. Hirsch <hirsch@emba.uvm.edu>
5052 * main.c (make_panels_dirty), user.c: Call the get_other_type
5053 function, do not compare the address.
5055 Wed Sep 6 21:11:21 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
5057 * screen.c, dir.c: Show @, ~, ! as file type instead of always @
5058 for normal symlinks, symlinks to directories and stalled links
5059 (those who point nowhere) at no time costs.
5061 * file.c: If you are root, preserve_uidgid is now default.
5063 * key.c: Handling of 8th bit for meta even when it has not matched
5066 * learn.c: Now it is not possible to redefine characters from
5069 * vfs.c: Per filesystem (un)getlocalcopy. This has an advantage
5070 of not copying one local file to the other in case of ftpfs and
5071 extfs and saves multiple extracts in tarfs.
5073 * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Fixes the date problem.
5075 * tar.c: Now it should handle even gzipped tar archives inside of
5076 tar archives correctly.
5078 * vfs/extfs.[ch], vfs/extfs/* (NEW): External filesystem.
5079 Not working by default (and won't until we release 3.0), but if
5080 you want to try, you can by typing make install.extfs in the
5081 vfs directory. Doesn't still handle symlinks to different
5082 vfs's (like linux -> ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux) correctly
5083 and still read only. If you want to try it, you should also install
5084 lib/mc.ext.extfs instead of lib/mc.ext to $(libdir)/mc/mc.ext.
5086 Tue Sep 5 19:37:35 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5088 * find.c (do_find): Find again should work again.
5090 * view.c (get_byte): Copy just those bytes on the original page.
5091 Electric Fence and Ching found this one.
5093 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Removed the check to TIOCSCTTY, from
5094 the Emacs sources, it seems like we should ignore the return value.
5096 * learn.c (learn_button): Do not define common keys as learned
5099 Tue Sep 5 22:59:35 1995 Ching Hui <br811563@csa2.cs.nthu.edu.tw>
5101 * vfs.c (mc_getlocalcopy): call mc_open function before tmpnam
5104 * ext.c (exec_extension): check the return value of mc_getlocalcopy.
5106 Tue Sep 5 23:39:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
5108 * configure.in: fix to the XView and Tk check code - no they really
5109 should not be compiled in by default in any case. If I'm wrong,
5112 * key.c: new flag - use_8th_bit_as_meta - is set (by default), input
5113 characters greater than 127 are handled as Esc + (c - 128). This is
5114 not true if inside of an control sequence. You can suppress this
5115 meta handling (if you use your national characters greater than 127)
5118 * screen.c (string_file_size): Show major,minor instead of size
5119 for block and character devices.
5121 * tar.c, vfs.c: Now I hope tar inside tar should work. At least
5122 what I tested (and it was working) tar:tar:1.tgz/2.tar/VERSION
5124 Mon Sep 4 12:02:37 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5126 * setup.c (save_setup), boxes.c (configure_vfs), ftpfs.c
5127 (ftpfs_init): Should save/restore all of the VFS settings.
5129 * tree.c (tree_event): on double click call chdir.
5131 * slint.c (do_define_key): Use SLtt_tgetstr instead of tgetstr.
5132 Lately Slang provides the SLtt_tgetstr as an interface to tgetstr
5133 and the SLtt_tigetstr. This should fix the problem Torben had
5136 * mcserv.c (do_auth): Cancel login if the setuid system call failed.
5138 Sat Sep 2 20:58:18 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5140 * key.c (get_key_code): generate an ALT-key if ESC+key is found
5141 when outputing pending_keys. This should fix the problem with the
5142 viewer quiting when some non-recognized key was pressed.
5144 Fri Sep 1 14:26:49 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5146 * main.c: C-x q switches the other panel to Quick View.
5148 * dlg.c (dialog_handle_key): Added a call to clr_scr to force
5149 ncurses to repaint on C-l
5151 * slint.c (slang_init): Do not set the signal handlers that reset
5152 the slkang attributes. They are only useful for the developer.
5153 On SunOS they make the program get into a recursive loop (xterm -e
5156 * subshell.c (TIOCSCTTY): Pass the 0 argument to this ioctl,
5157 SunOS makes a difference between 0 and 1 (this should fix the bug
5160 Sat Aug 2 00:38:01 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5162 * vfs/mcserv.c: Now by default ftp validation is not done, to turn
5163 it on, you need to use the -f flag.
5165 * lib/xterm.ad: X resources to make xterm (not rxvt :( ) work well
5166 with most (I hope all) the keys mc works with.
5168 * lib/xterm.tcap: Termcap entry for xterm and xterm-color,
5169 compatible with sequences send by xterm.ad and compatible with
5170 xterm.ti. Those three should be used together.
5172 * lib/xterm.ti: Minor changes.
5174 * lib/README.xterm: HOWTO on installing these three files.
5176 Fri Aug 1 13:43:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5178 * file.c: name_trunc in the file progress dialog.
5180 * cmd.c (do_link): Cosmetic changes. Symlink now shows only one
5181 dialog instead of two. Link shows name of the file you want link
5184 * help.c, man2hlp.c: Use HELP_*_COLOR colors in help. Added
5185 italic color (no more same as bold).
5187 * color.c: User can now define also helpnormal, helpitalic,
5188 helpbold, helplink, helpslink and gauge colors.
5190 Sat Sep 2 02:02:18 1995 Ching Hui <br811563@csa2.cs.nthu.edu.tw>
5192 * ftpfs.c: make all data transfer interruptable.
5194 * boxes.c: add anonymous passwd and ftpfs directory cache timeout
5195 entry to Virtual FS dialog box.
5197 * vfs.c (vfs_path): New function.
5199 * dir.c (set_zero_dir): fix possible loop when directory is
5202 Thu Aug 31 13:31:34 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5204 * tree.c (event_callback): Focus panel when receiveing a key
5205 click; set the correct event y for panelized trees.
5207 Thu Aug 31 14:06:11 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5209 * key.c: Rewritten get_key_code. Now has a parameter nodelay,
5210 if 0, it behaves like before, if 1, it doesn't ever wait but
5211 emulates the behaviour of get_key_code (0), so it returns correct
5212 KEY_* and other keycodes instead of sequences. You just have
5213 to call it more times (in case all seqence characters are not
5214 waiting on stdin). get_key_code (1) handles even old_esc_mode
5215 (it uses GET_TIME instead of select).
5217 * file.c: Uses get_key_code (1) instead of non-delayed xgetch
5218 (otherwise you couldn't use arrow keys etc...)
5220 * ext.c (regex_command): fixed behaviour of use_file_to_check_type
5221 and initialized a local variable (which could cause in one of
5222 4G (perhaps less, 0 are often on the stack) an incorrect behaviour).
5224 * configure.in, Makefile.in: create_vcs is installed only on Linux
5227 Mon Aug 28 13:27:38 1995 Ching Hui <u811571@JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
5229 * ftpfs.c: Check for connection close; beginning of the transfer
5232 Wed Aug 30 14:15:07 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5234 * ext.c (regex_command): Now it will just execute file once
5235 instead of one time per type/ in the mc.ext file.
5237 * slint.c (slang_shutdown): Output the op capability at program
5238 shutdown, this should fix the problem for Thanh.
5240 Tue Aug 29 18:47:35 1995 Torben Fjerdingstad <tfj@olivia.ping.dk>
5242 * mc.menu: Added missing tar definitions.
5244 Wed Aug 30 11:05:44 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5246 * file.c: Removed most of the #ifdef X - text code now uses
5247 widgets (label & gauge) as well. Should produce normal dialog colors
5248 instead of some strange ones and should be consistent with all the
5249 others. Also, Skipping and Aborting should now work well and you
5250 won't have to press keys to many times. Also, Enter and Escape
5251 should work as well.
5253 * widget.c: Finally text mode gauge widget is written.
5255 * color.[ch]: Oops, 32 was used by A_REVERSE. I assigned to the
5256 default color number 31.
5258 * view.c: Added some vi-like, less-like and lynx-like keys for
5259 moving in the viewer. We still do not support numbers before moving
5260 commands. Should we? At least Ng and NG would be useful (as a short
5261 variant of F5 N Enter).
5263 Tue Aug 29 18:53:26 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5265 * boxes.c (tree): Set decent colors for the tree box.
5267 * tree.c (tree_new): The tree problem was just that the searching
5268 variable was not initialized.
5270 * screen.c (repaint_file): Fixed the half panel bug.
5272 * subshell.c (pty_open_master): Stupid mistake, will not hang
5275 * view.c (view_handle_key): Return now moves only one line.
5277 Tue Aug 29 18:47:35 1995 Torben Fjerdingstad <tfj@olivia.ping.dk>
5279 * mc.ext: Non destructive mc.ext fixes. Jakub, please test them.
5281 Mon Aug 28 16:36:29 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtkl@jysky.oulu.fi>
5283 * file.c: Added missing #include <ctype.h>.
5285 * listmode.c: Some parts already working: OK, Cancel and General
5286 options. Add and Remove almost work. Items listbox and Item
5287 options don't work yet.
5289 Tue Aug 29 14:33:16 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5291 * layout.c (swap_panels): Fixed. Now it should work fine and if
5292 there are both view_listings, then it just swappes their content
5293 (and not formats etc.), so that you may have one format in the left
5294 and a different one in the right panel and if you want to see some
5295 things that are in the left for a file on the right, you just C-u.
5297 * cmd.c, color.c, sldisply.c: In SLang when default attributes
5298 are different than white on black, mc shows command line and
5299 hintbar correctly. You can easily run mc -c on a black on white
5300 color xterm and the output is not awful.
5302 Mon Aug 28 21:12:37 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5304 * icons/: I hope better and nicer icon collection than the previous
5305 one. Most of them now have entries in mc.ext.
5307 * main.c: Fixed the mc -P problem when the tty is not owned by
5310 * dir.c (handle_dirent): Added one test that causes panelize
5311 not to add files that are not on the disk (so it is possible
5312 to e.g. cat any list of files and panelize will add to the
5313 panel only the existing ones).
5315 * main.c: Sets xterm window title to GNU Midnight Commander.
5317 Wed Aug 30 00:51:28 1995 br811563 <br811563@csa2.cs.nthu.edu.tw>
5319 * ftpfs.c (get_line): fix mc block when socket is closed.
5321 * tar.c (uncompress_tar_file): fix core dump when popen failed.
5323 * tar.c (tarfs_get_path): return error when tar archive open
5326 Mon Aug 28 13:27:38 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5328 * layout.c (change_screen_size), view.c (view_adjust_size): Add
5329 screen resizing to the viewer.
5331 * terms.c: (do_enter_ca_mode): Hard code the font switch "ESC)0".
5333 * key.c (get_event): Will now delay calls to refresh if there is
5336 * cmd.c (nice_cd): Really, this time I fixed the problem with the
5337 menus opening a ftp connection or net connection in the right panel.
5339 Mon Aug 28 13:27:38 1995 Ching Hui <u811571@JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
5341 * ftpfs.c: Switched to file descriptors again.
5343 Sun Aug 27 16:43:20 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5345 * layout.c: Include termios.h, otherwise we don't get a resizing
5346 Midnight Commander on Solaris.
5348 * view.c (search): Allow search aborting.
5350 * key.c (get_key_code): Handle the ESC+number inside get_key_code;
5351 handle esc+space; use push_char/goto pend_send instead of returing
5352 the key code to keep the internal sequence tracker on sync.
5354 * subshell.c (pty_open_master): Will retry pty opening
5356 * panelize.c (do_external_panelize): Do not free() the command,
5357 let the parent handle this.
5359 Sun Aug 27 12:52:36 1995 Torben Fjerdingstad <tfj@olivia.ping.dk>
5361 * FAQ, doc/mc.1: Spelling fixes.
5363 Sat Aug 26 20:45:00 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5365 * learn.c: Now the left and right keys move among columns and the
5366 vi's h, j, k, l work as well.
5368 * wtools.c: It is now possible to specify a particular position
5369 of quick dialog - this is used for M-c.
5371 * Fixed the problem with xterm mouse.
5373 Sun Aug 27 11:05:43 1995 Ching Hui <u811571@JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
5375 * ftpfs.c: fix connection refused and connection close from
5378 * ftpfs.c (ftpentry_destructor): fix memory corruption bug.
5380 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_chmod): use non-standard "SITE CHMOD" command.
5382 * ftpfs.c (_get_file_entry): upload zero length to check the write
5385 Sun Aug 27 11:05:43 1995 Ching Hui <Nicholas@u811571.JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
5387 * ftpfs.c: fix connection refused and connection close from
5390 * ftpfs.c (ftpentry_destructor): fix memory corruption bug.
5392 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_chmod): use non-standard "SITE CHMOD" command.
5394 * ftpfs.c (_get_file_entry): upload zero length to check the write
5397 Fri Aug 25 13:11:55 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5399 * view.h: Yes, very funny, we need unsigned chars, otherwise we
5400 get those funny (char) 0377 -> (int) -1 conversions. Now, the
5401 search should work on Piped files.
5403 * view.c (get_line_at): Fixed the search routine. Now, the
5404 get_line_at routine will skip over nulls.
5406 * main.c (repaint_screen): Command line and panels should be
5407 repainted correctly after executing a command.
5409 * configure.in: SCO library detection
5411 * fs.h: MC_MAXPATHLEN is the MAXPATHLEN or 1024 on systems that do
5412 not define it (SCO), we should actually use pathconf.
5414 * tar.c (tarfs_fill_names): Report the tar file names.
5416 * container.c (linklist_delete): bug fixed: need to increment the
5419 * widget.c (listbox_drawscroll): Presentation bug fix.
5421 * util.c (my_system): do not block SIGCHLD anymore.
5423 Fri Aug 25 13:11:55 1995 Juan Jose Ciarlante <jjciarla@raiz.uncu.edu.ar>
5425 * util.c (truncate, my_ftruncate): Provide truncate for systems
5428 Fri Aug 25 13:18:18 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
5430 * Makefile.in: Added listmode.c, listmode.h and listmode.o
5432 * boxes.c (display_callback): Renamed Display mode dialog to
5433 Listing mode. I think the dialog names should correspond to the
5434 names of the menu entries where they are invoked.
5436 * layout.c (rotate_dash): Verboseness check is no longer
5437 necessary because we have an own nice_rotating_dash option.
5439 * listmode.c, listmode.h: New files to implement user listing mode
5440 editor. Still incomplete: it's got the looks but no functionality.
5442 * main.c (listmode_cmd): New function to invoke user listing mode
5443 editor. (CmdMenu): User listing mode editor is temporarily placed
5444 in to Command menu. To be moved to Listing mode dialog when
5445 complete. (OptMenu): I think Save setup should be separated from
5446 the other choices. (version): In case of Slang reports which
5447 terminal database is used. (handle_args): The -f option should
5448 output to stderr, not stdout.
5450 Fri Aug 25 23:37:18 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
5452 * key.c: A bunch of changes. old_esc_mode works again (should we
5453 set a shorter timeout than 1 sec or should we let the user specify
5454 this?). I was trying to unify all the different key routines
5455 into the new define_sequence structure. Tell me if it works.
5457 * mcserv.c (do_auth), configure.in: Support for Linux shadow
5460 (do_auth): Assign correct supplemental groups for process, if they
5461 exist in the system and enhanced security of mcserv a bit.
5463 * util.c (convert_controls): Fixed a bug, which caused that control
5464 (< 32) characters could not be defined as sequences.
5466 * learn.c (learn_keys): Added somehow more descriptive messages.
5468 * xvmain.c (xv_center_layout): Fixed a problem with widgets
5469 XV_WLAY_EXTENDWIDTH and narrow dialogs (such as one with empty
5470 listbox) correct their width.
5472 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): Quick hack to repaint cmdline and hintbar
5473 on Linux console after C-o correctly.
5475 Thu Aug 24 15:25:24 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5477 * cmd.c (reselect_vfs): New command, uses the hotlist code to
5478 display all the non local active virtual file systems.
5480 * vfs.c (mcfs_fill_names, ftpfs_fill_names): Fill Used to report
5481 the number of file systems active.
5483 Thu Aug 24 15:40:34 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
5485 * ext.c (regex_command): Now works correctly with files like
5488 * file.c (convert_case): New function. (transform_source): Now
5489 supports six new codes in the target mask: \u and \l convert the
5490 next character to uppercase or lowercase, \U and \L convert
5491 characters up to \E or the end of the file name. Backslash also
5492 works as a quote character. See the manual page for details.
5494 Wed Aug 23 13:50:13 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5496 * subshell.c (init_subshell): If subshell does not initialize,
5499 * help.c (interactive_display): Move the help bar to the proper
5502 * screen.c (WIDGET_UNFOCUS): clear the searching when loosing
5505 * file.c (create_op_dlg, destroy_op_dlg): modify the hint bar
5506 position during the operations to avoid the screen override that
5507 could be caused by the ftpfs.
5509 * cmd.c: Call repaint_screen again after update_panels.
5511 * main.c (update_panels): do not repaint the panels, just mark
5512 them as dirty and let the midnight_callback check for dirtiness
5513 before a get_event is called (the new message DLG_PRE_EVENT is
5516 Wed Aug 23 21:31:24 1995 Steven N. Hirsch <hirsch@emba.uvm.edu>
5518 * layout.c (setup_panels): Compute properly the hint position.
5520 Wed Aug 23 20:42:45 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5522 * mc.1: Documentation fixes.
5524 * learn.[ch] (NEW): Learn keys command.
5526 * slint.c: SLang now resets attributes after SIGTERM and bunch of
5529 * wtools.c (message): Fixed D_INSERTed messages (like Searching
5532 * ext.c: Version check for 3.0's mc.ext and .mc.ext. In case it
5533 finds and old formatted, tells what to do.
5535 Tue Aug 22 20:15:01 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5537 * configure.in: --with-slang is now the default together with
5538 --without-xview and --without-tk. If you want to compile with
5539 ncurses, use --with-ncurses and likewise --with-xview and --with-tk
5541 * tcputil.h, configure.in: Check for rpc/pmap_clnt.h header and
5542 including it if exists.
5544 * xv/Makefile.in: Fixed the -lXpm problem.
5546 * mc.1, INSTALL, INSTALL.FAST, NEWS: A bunch of documentation
5547 fixes and additions, but there is still lot of work for EVERYONE.
5549 * man2hlp.c: Now indents the help's index again...
5551 * {tk|xv}/Makefile.in: Fixed a link goal problem on old SunOs.
5553 * */*: Many fixes all around the code to make at least my GCC happy
5554 with the -Wall. Now it shows on the slang mc no warnings except in
5557 Mon Aug 21 19:08:05 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5559 * vfs.c (vfs_add_noncurrent_stamps): Do nothing if the panels have
5560 not been setup (this let's you: mc ftp://roxanne)
5562 * setup.c (load_setup): Will not open by default non local vfs
5563 when loading the configuration.
5565 * profile.c (free_profile_name): Fixed seg fault problem on Linux;
5566 (load): Keep spaces on keys unless they are at the beginning of
5567 the line (for nice external panelize displays).
5569 Mon Aug 21 22:10:06 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5571 * configure.in: Removed duplicate -L options for XView, misc fixes.
5573 * xterm.ti: Modified smcup so that it works well even on broken
5574 xterms. Hope this will not break anything.
5576 * mcfn_install.in: Added check and installation to ~/.bashrc,
5577 if running from bash. If mc () is in ~/.profile, then it applies
5578 only to the login shell :(
5580 * boxes.c, cmd.c: New feature - M-c (Quick cd) - pops up a dialog
5581 where you enter exactly what you type after "cd " on the command
5582 line. The difference is that you don't have to yank and paste
5583 your full command line because you want shortly change directory.
5585 * complete.c: Added special handling for "cd " and quick cd -
5586 now only directories are completed (CDPATH should remain untouched).
5588 * file.c (move_dir_dir): Removed test for EXDEV error, now we
5589 are trying to copy and then delete whenever any error during
5590 renaming occurs. This is because e.g. NFS returns sometimes
5591 EIO, if I'm moving on one nfs filesystem, which contains more
5592 filesystems on the nfs server. Hope this won't even hurt.
5594 * panelize.[ch]: New modules which show nice database of stored
5595 panelizing commands, you can add new, assign to them names etc.
5598 * widget.c (label_set_text): Fixed this routine so that it paints
5599 everything correctly if the new string is shorter than the previous
5600 one and added a parameter/flag which tells it whether we want to
5601 adapt the label length (useful for the message bar).
5603 Sun Aug 20 11:00:51 1995 Ching Hui <Nicholas@u811563.JEN.AB.nthu.edu.tw>
5605 * container.c (linklist_destroy): fix memory corruption bug.
5607 *ftpfs.c: add time out code to directory cache.
5609 Sat Aug 19 15:25:56 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5611 * ftpfs.c: fix symlink.
5613 Sat Aug 19 13:27:09 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5615 * help.c (move_backward2, move_forward2): If we can't move the
5616 number of lines requested, set current to the startup value.
5618 * view.c (search): Now will rotate the dash when searching.
5620 (normal_search): Will not load all the file into core before
5623 * slint.c (vline): uses spaces when -s flag is used.
5625 * main.c (suspend_cmd): Call do_refresh for a complete screen
5626 redraw, slang seems to not like the touchwin, refresh after coming
5629 * dlg.c: use suspend_cmd instead of do_suspend_cmd that should be
5630 an internal function of suspend_cmd.
5632 Fri Aug 18 10:09:07 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5634 * screen.c: Implemented torben_fj_mode for home/end key behavior.
5636 * wtools.c (input_dialog_help): Fixed the password problem on the
5639 Wed Aug 16 05:16:50 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5641 * ftpfs.c: flush directory cache after store file, rmdir, and
5644 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_rmdir): fill the missing code.
5646 * ftpfs.c (retrieve_dir): change "LIST -lba" to "LIST -la", since
5647 ftp.funet.fi doesn't happy with -b argument.
5649 Tue Aug 15 23:34:01 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5651 * mc.1: Manual page fixes.
5653 * win.c: You can now define even f11-f20 keystrokes in your
5654 mc.lib/.mc.ini file. f13 is used for unparsed view, f20 for quiet
5655 quit (no confirmation, if invoked with -P, it returns ., i.e.
5656 no current directory change).
5658 * file.c: Fixed a bug when the target existed as a symlink. Now, if
5659 you say you want to overwrite it, mc deletes the symlink and either
5660 links new symlink or copies the new file there. Previously, in the
5661 first case, a message saying cannot create target symlink was shown
5662 and in the later case the new file overwrote the file target symlink
5665 * main.c: Command line in XView now looks a bit better.
5667 * xvwidget.c: WCheck and WRadio now correctly set their initial
5668 values (previously all of them were on/with first one checked).
5670 * xvwidget.c: WLabel now moves all the widgets to the right of it,
5671 if we change its length by assigning a new text to it.
5673 Wed Aug 16 05:16:50 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5675 * ftpfs.c: flush directory cache after store file, rmdir, and
5678 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_rmdir): fill the missing code.
5680 * ftpfs.c (retrieve_dir): change "LIST -lba" to "LIST -la", since
5681 ftp.funet.fi doesn't happy with -b argument.
5683 Tue Aug 15 00:42:18 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5685 * cmd.c (view_simple_cmd): This is for displaying unformatted
5686 view of a file (will be sticked to F13 or Shift+F3).
5688 * ext.c: Fixed a view Format/Unform error.
5690 Fixed two other bugs in regex_command, causing e.g. a file to be
5691 viewed only once in its formatted version.
5693 * main.c (quiet_quit_cmd): This is for quitting without changing
5694 the directory where you were before if using -P (more precisely,
5695 this prints "." instead of the last directory). Will be sticked
5698 * screen.c (do_file_mark): Fixed selection handling in XView.
5699 Now sets panel->marked etc. correctly.
5701 * xvmain.c: Fixes to make drop work. It is still an ugly hack, but
5702 it seems to me that I've found an awful bug in XView :(
5704 * xvscreen.c: Drop should really work. Try it...
5706 Fri Aug 11 16:57:35 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5708 * file.c (check_buttons): Now it handles space and tabs.
5710 * cons.handler.c (show_console_contents): Slang/terminfo does not
5711 wrap characters at the end of a line, so we manually move to the
5714 * widget.c (label_destroy): Expanded the Label widget: if the text
5715 member does have a zero value it will not be displayed (I will
5716 use this for the hintbar). Removed the hintbar support from the
5719 Mon Aug 14 14:18:19 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5721 * ftpfs.c: fix redundant copy of directory cache and support open
5724 Sun Aug 13 22:46:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5726 * Misc fixes in configure and installation procedures.
5728 * xvicon.c: Now it is possible to move these icons, drop files onto
5729 them, show the icon dependent menu etc.
5731 * ext.c: Fixed some horrible bugs causing segfaults noticed by
5732 someone here on the list, which I had troubles for a longer time
5735 Thu Aug 10 19:45:30 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5737 * ext.c (exec_extension): Tcsh did not like our lines without a
5740 Thu Aug 11 00:43:17 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5742 * Makefile.in: libdir is now in $prefix/lib/mc instead of
5743 $prefix/lib, so that all our mc.{hlp|ext|menu|hint|keys} files
5744 and the FAQ are nicely grouped together into one directory.
5745 In there is a subdirectory icons with all the icons.
5747 * aclocal.m4: Test for header files in standard paths and in user
5748 defined additional directories (AC_CHECK_HEADER_IN_PATH). Those
5749 directories can be specified in the beginning of configure.in.
5750 Let me know which directories would you like to be there.
5752 Also added checks for the Xpm library and headers and for the X11
5753 shape extension (also header and -lXext).
5755 * configure.in: I was trying to fix the file & sed bug. Could
5756 anybody test it and in case of error send me again sh -x configure?
5758 * doc/mc.1: Now are even mc.1 and mc.hlp parsed with sed for
5761 * ext.c (regex_command): Speeded up by i) caching mc.ext in memory
5762 (FIXME - should reload it on any change in mc.ext) and ii)
5763 when looking for Icon, we are automagically looking for Title
5766 * xvicon.c (CreateXpmIcon): Now paints titles under icons as well.
5768 Wed Aug 9 18:54:33 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5770 * widget.c (buttonbar_callback): Added the hint-bar support (or
5771 should it be called message bar?), now we need to add the hints
5772 and the code that will display them.
5774 Wed Aug 9 23:56:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5776 * ext.c (do_regex_command): Changed meaning of shell/ in mc.ext -
5777 it is extension only if the first character is ., i.e.
5779 will match *.tar, but if it doesn't start with a dot, then it
5780 matches only the same filenames (i.e. shell/gzip matches only gzip).
5782 Added Icon and Title actions in mc.ext. Icon is a pathname of an
5783 XPM file (possibly with the None color somewhere, so that it may
5784 be transparent somewhere). If it is not absolute pathname, then
5785 it defaults to $(icondir) ($(prefix)/lib/mc/icons/). Title specifies
5786 the title under icon, with %p for filename and %d for pathname.
5787 %d/%f is complete path. Default title is %p.
5789 Fixed an awful bug in comparison of actions.
5791 * cmd.c (dirsizes_cmd): Fixed a bug that caused wrong information,
5792 if you had directories where name of one of them was concatenation
5793 of the other plus something (like mc and mc-2.4.93).
5795 * setup.c: Now we clean the correct temporal sections ('cause panel
5796 names have changed).
5798 * wtools.c (input_dialog_help): Fixed displaying of input boxes in
5801 * xvscreen.c (xv_mouse_event): Double-click works! Drop should work
5802 as well, but it is still a bit buggy.
5804 File type dependent menu, if you press the right mouse button on a
5805 file. This one lets you easily Open/View/Edit/Copy/Move/Delete plus
5806 any user defined actions from mc.ext (like Compile, Link, Flush
5809 * xvaction.c, xvicon.c: Completely changed basics of Action icons.
5810 Now these icons are just files which were moved (dropped in the
5811 future) from the panels. Icon and Title are looked up in mc.ext, the
5812 only thing we have to specify in mc.ini for those icons, which are
5813 loaded by default at startup, is position of icon center, in format
5814 +x+y, where x and y are positive numbers.
5815 Entries in .mc.ini's Action Icons section look like
5818 * icons/: New directory full of nice icons in XPM format. Hope
5819 you'll like them. We'll have to look for some even nicer ones,
5820 but some of them are really good (I think).
5822 Tue Aug 8 17:22:15 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5824 * key.c (get_event): Now we return to the caller program if select
5825 sets errno = EINTR (thanks to Hugh Redelmeier (hugh@mimosa.com)
5826 for the hint). This actually makes the program resize it's screen
5827 as soon as it is resized.
5829 (get_event): If we are not waiting for a mouse repeat event and
5832 sldisply.c: Clear the current acs status at slang startup.
5834 Tue Aug 8 16:23:39 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5836 * ftpfs.c: Will not hang if the address is bogus.
5838 * vfs.c: Removed the dialog stuff (we did not use it).
5840 Mon Aug 7 13:13:12 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5842 * screen.c (panel_update_cols): Now all of the column computing is
5843 done in this function (instead of doing half the job here and the
5844 other half in layout.c: setup_panels).
5846 * auto.c: Removed automount feature.
5848 * option.c: optimize the case for a toggle-only variable and
5849 remove all of the unused toggle_* functions.
5851 Sun Aug 6 21:33:08 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5853 * ftpfs.c (retrieve_file): New function.
5855 * ftpfs.c (parse_ls_lga): fix typo.
5857 * vfs.h: change vfsid type definition from int to void *.
5859 Mon Aug 7 23:43:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
5861 * */Makefile.in: Added make variable DESTDIR, which makes it
5862 possible to move the install root somewhere in the directory tree.
5863 (Was necessary because not all files are installed in $(prefix)).
5864 Use it like: make install DESTDIR=/package/mc
5865 and the files (in case $(prefix) is /usr/local) will be installed
5866 into /package/mc/usr/local/bin, /package/mc/usr/local/lib and
5867 /package/mc/usr/openwin/bin etc...
5869 * boxes.c (display_box): Now correctly restores default format
5870 after returning from a Info/Quick View/Tree widget.
5872 * configure.in: Default prefix (if you do not specify) will now
5873 depend on whether you have mc already installed in your system
5874 to /usr/bin/mc or /usr/local/bin/mc.
5876 * mc.ext, ext.c: For Torben - the lynx action for \.html?$ files
5877 added and should work even on ftpfs :)
5879 * cmd.c (dirsizes_cmd): Do not call du if on non-local vfs.
5881 * vfs/Makefile.in: If you undef USE_NETCODE, you should compile
5882 it without the net objects.
5884 Fri Aug 4 18:45:39 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5886 * slint.c (slang_init): Disable flow control, thanks to John Davis.
5888 Sat Aug 5 01:03:08 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5890 * ftpfs.c (ftpentry_destructor, ftpfs_dir_destructor, ftpfs_chdir,
5891 ftpfs_mkdir, ftpfs_getid): fix typo and memory leak.
5893 * ftpfs.c (ftp_connection_destructor, ftpfs_init, ftpfs_done):
5896 * ftpfs.h: New file.
5898 * vfs.c (vfs_init): call ftpfs_init.
5900 * vfs.c (vfs_shut): always free the vfs resource, call ftpfs_done.
5902 Thu Aug 3 20:07:58 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5904 * main.c (reload_panelized): Fixes the problems with the panelized
5905 files. We first chdir to the panelized directory cwd and then
5906 restore it if it is not the current_panel.
5908 * tkmain.c (tkmc_callback): Tk: Selection on input lines work now.
5910 * wtools.c (message), view.c (search): Search should work with Tk now.
5912 Thu Aug 3 16:01:00 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
5914 * configure.in, */Makefile.in: A lot of small changes - tkmc is now
5915 included by default, --without-tk can turn it of, new options
5916 --with-tk-includes=dir --with-tk-libs=dir --with-xv-bindir=dir.
5917 Also should check if file accepts - as an option (Miguel, could you
5918 test it on a machine which doesn't support it)?
5920 Thu Aug 3 23:24:34 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5922 * ftpfs.c: use link list instead of array to store connection
5924 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_free): free the connection resource when timeout.
5926 Wed Aug 2 19:30:03 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5928 * help.c (move_forward2, move_backward2): The next/prev page works
5931 * widget.c (listbox_drawscroll): Now we draw a sort of scrollbar
5932 that includes the '|' character.
5934 * subshell.c (init_subshell): More robust: If the child had
5935 problems before the parent had a chance to setup the sigchld
5936 handler it would hang, now the code calls waitpid after the
5937 init_sigchld has been called. (There is no use in installing
5938 sigchld_handler before since the child could execute and abort
5939 before the parent had returned from fork ()).
5941 Wed Aug 2 16:01:00 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5943 * ext.c: Rewritten, now uses only one file (mc.ext) instead of three
5944 (mc.{edit|view|ext}) with a completely new structure. For the
5945 description see comments in the sample lib/mc.ext file.
5946 BTW: You have to update your .mc.ext file, otherwise nothing will
5949 * configure.in: du checks, now should handle all the du's.
5951 Wed Aug 2 21:24:45 1995 Ching Hui <u811563@thccy12>
5953 * ftpfs.c (get_file_entry, _get_file_entry): New function.
5955 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_lstat, ftpfs_stat, ftpfs_fstat): call get_file_entry
5958 * ftpfs.c (retrieve_dir): change into directory before getting the
5961 Tue Aug 1 12:47:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
5963 * tkwidget.c (tk_update_input): Use the window name.
5965 * vfs.c: Removed the alarm code.
5967 * slint.c: Now we keep track of the original and program-mode
5968 terminal settings, no more problems with the raw mode on
5971 Tue Aug 1 12:12:45 1995 John E. Davis (davis@space.mit.edu)
5973 * sldisply.c (write_attributes): Some broken terminal databases
5974 when restoring normal video turn of ALL attributes. This should
5975 fix the problem on HP-UX and maybe AIX.
5977 Tue Aug 1 23:26:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5979 * xvscreen.c, xvmain.c: XView repaint fixes, coded mouse handling -
5980 everything except drop (drag should work).
5982 Mon Jul 31 12:41:52 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
5984 * ftpfs.c: Recoded missing parts of the ftpfs, now it allows you
5985 to do copying/viewing of the remote files.
5987 Sat Jul 29 20:01:00 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
5989 * main.c (main, do_nc): Fixed a bug causing mc to list a part of
5990 .mc.ini on my system. It occurred when ran with -P, because we were
5991 trying to print already freed string which has been accidentally
5994 * mcfn_install: New shell program (called from main Makefile's
5995 mcfninstall goal) which tries to install the mc() function into your
5998 * cmd.c (dirsizes_cmd): New command in the command menu. Until you
5999 press C-r or change directory in the current panel, directory sizes
6000 will be replaced by the space used by them and their subdirectories
6001 as shown by du -s -b. You can then easily select these files and
6004 * file.c (copy_file_file, move_file_file): If you're moving a file
6005 onto already existing one, you won't be asked twice any more...
6007 Fri Jul 28 18:29:11 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6009 * slang/ Upgraded to slang 0.99-19.
6011 * Tk/ File copy/move/delete progress window works.
6013 Fri Jul 28 19:32:15 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
6015 * menu.c (menubar_handle_key): Fix so that menu hot keys work
6018 * xv/: I've broken everything, do not even try it, but it compiles
6019 without SlingShot already :)
6021 * find.c (external_panelize): stderr goes to /dev/null where it
6024 Thu Jul 27 17:51:43 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6026 * tkmain.c (tk_dispatch_all): New function to flush all the
6029 * mc.tcl, file.c: Now query_dialogs work with any number of
6030 options, replace dialog is working with Tk.
6032 * tkmenu.c: left/right commands now work.
6034 * tkmain.c: tk_getch implemented, quote works on tkmc.
6036 Thu Jul 27 10:43:25 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@indy4)
6038 * find.c (external_panelize): new function, now you can panelize
6039 the output of any external command.
6041 Wed Jul 26 19:54:40 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6043 * tkinfo.c, mc.tcl: WInfo now works with Tk.
6045 Wed Jul 26 10:48:58 1995 Thanh Ma <tma@encore.com>
6047 * tar.c (tar_fstat): fixed missing ifdefs, now it should compile
6050 Thu Jul 27 00:14:05 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
6052 * screen.c (to_buffer, parse_display_format): Fixed painting of
6053 files when the column is narrow and also titles should be painted
6054 correctly in such case.
6056 * Makefile.in: Should make non-existent directories on install now
6058 * file.c (move_file_file): Fix so that append works even when
6061 Tue Jul 25 14:32:56 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6063 * main.c (load_prompt): Cut prompt if it is too long.
6065 Tue Jul 26 00:40:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
6067 * help.c (show): Midnight in the first help page should be painted
6068 in ACS even in slang (if terminal has it).
6070 * myslang.h, main.c (main): beep should work even in slang.
6072 * */Makefile.in*: Ugly hack which removes the stupid relinking of
6073 mc/mxc/tkmc always, since libvfs.a and libmc.a were in another
6076 * complete.c (try_complete): Now completes fine even if you have
6077 CDPATH set to something and try to complete a non-existant path
6078 which exists if prefixed with one of the directories in CDPATH.
6079 Example: I have CDPATH=.:~:~/src:/usr
6080 and I'm somewhere where no directory begins with mc. The only
6081 directories starting with mc- are in ~/src. If I type
6083 and press M-Tab twice ('cause there are more than one possible
6084 completions), I get list of ~/src/mc-2.4.76 and ~/src/mc-patches.
6085 FIXME: Should write some documentation on CDPATH and its usage.
6087 Mon Jul 24 17:49:38 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6089 * tkscreen.c, tkmain.c: Finally I'm using a proper method that
6090 does not rely on the container name to create the panels. This is
6091 required to implement to WView, WTree and WInfo widgets in Tk to
6094 * Quick view working under Tk.
6096 * vfs.c (vfs_setup_wd): At setup time, set current_dir to empty if
6097 we happend to hit a non-existant directory.
6099 Mon Jul 24 15:55:28 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
6101 * util.c (mc_doublepopen), tar.c: Bug fixing of corrupt tar files.
6103 Mon Jul 24 11:42:35 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6105 * main.c (sigchld_handler_no_subshell): Wait only the
6106 cons_saver_pid when compile without subshell.
6108 * tar.c (tafs_get_path): put the archive on stamp list, tar_open must
6109 remove the archive from stamp list.
6111 (read_tar_archive): will close archive->fd after reading the
6112 entry, but it is wrong, when mc didn't read the whole archie in
6113 memory, it will get a core dump. (i.e open a non-gzip tar file,
6114 and try to view the file.)
6116 Delete the mc_close(archive->fd) from tar_close, it is handle by
6119 Fri Jul 21 20:52:24 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6121 * mc.tcl: Copy dialog works with the new dialog that Jakub wrote.
6123 * view.c: Tk/Viewer is now working.
6125 * util.c: No more <defunct> processes after looking at a tar.gz file.
6127 Fri Jul 21 11:00:05 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@gnu.ai.mit.edu)
6129 * tree.c (my_mkdir, my_mkdir_rec): F7 (Mkdir) now creates as many
6130 directories as you want in one command (just type there e.g.
6133 * main.c (copy_*): C-x (C-)p now adds a slash at the end, so you do
6134 not have to type it yourself.
6136 Wed Jul 19 18:41:29 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6138 * view.c (flush_line): Tk: Colors work on the internal file
6141 * tar.c: possible bug fix to the growing tar files tar_open, I'm
6142 not sure I did it right. (load_compressed): Added a couple of
6145 * layout.c (use_dash): New routine, controls updating of the dash
6148 Tue Jul 18 13:08:54 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6150 * main.c (main), slint (slang_shutdown): Now it leaves the program
6151 in the non-application screen.
6153 Tue Jul 18 10:50:25 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6155 * cons.saver.c (detect_console): Make the code compile.
6157 * command.c: The Ctrl+Enter never reaches this part of the code,
6158 moved to midnight_callback.
6160 Mon Jul 17 12:53:32 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6162 * slint.c, myslang.h: Better compatibility with curses.
6164 Mon Jul 17 11:18:42 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6166 * configure.in, tty.h: Forgot to define USE_NCURSES, forgot some
6169 * util.c: Handle too many arguments on mc_doubleopen.
6171 Tue Jul 18 16:55:20 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
6173 * xvmain.c, xvinfo.c: XView version should compile cleanly and
6174 even run (at least on my system) now... :)
6176 * help.c: No more deadlocks in XView's help
6178 * xvmain.c (xvdlg_show): Should now handle initial focus for
6181 Fri Jul 14 16:10:47 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6183 * util.c (my_statfs): Should report the correct file system. I
6184 have nfs mounted /home/miguel/s and it was reporting
6185 /home/miguel/slang to be on the nfs partition.
6187 * key.c (init_key): Fixed the escape sequences for irix-ansi and
6190 * sldisply.c: Added terminal size detection to Slang.
6192 * help.c (help_event): Fixed mouse coordinate handling and repainting.
6194 Fri Jul 14 15:47:07 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6196 * aclocal.m4: OSF/1 cc compiler fixes.
6198 * tty.h: handles all of the curses differences now instead of
6199 our tricky lib/ncurses.h
6201 * util.c: exevp portability fixes.
6203 * menu.c: hline fixed.
6205 * xcurses.c: Hacked to work with OSF/1 curses.
6207 Thu Jul 13 16:06:06 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6209 * mouse.c (init_mouse): When running with slang is important to
6210 flush stdout so that the mouse actually its activated.
6212 * boxes.c (display_bits_box): Now the setting is computed
6213 correctly (ie, it works)
6215 * sltermin.c (Tgetstr_Map): Added keypad transmit mode on/off, now
6216 cursor keys should work with terminfo.
6218 * subshell.c (read_subshell_prompt): The prompt should be there no
6219 matter what happens.
6221 Thu Jul 13 16:51:34 1995 John Davis <davis@space.mit.edu>
6223 * slang/sldisply.c: Provided semantic compatible routines for
6224 tgetstr, tgetnum and tgetflag.
6226 Wed Jul 12 18:40:06 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6228 * vfs.c (vfs_add_noncurrent_stamps): Check for other panel type
6229 before using opanel.
6231 Wed Jul 12 16:59:23 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6233 * slint.c (slang_init): Fixed the slang/terminfo problem, reported
6236 * help.c: Make the buttonbar functions redraw the screen.
6238 * slint.c: Slang support should work with terminfo again.
6240 Wed Jul 12 14:09:30 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6242 * vfs: cpp options indentation to compile under OSF/1.
6244 * configure.in: Support for --with-vcurses flag for those strange
6247 * OSF/1: Changed some inline functions for macros in order to get
6248 OSF/1 compiler to work.
6250 * screen.c: move is sometimes a macro (slang support).
6252 * util.c: portability fix for exec parameters.
6254 Tue Jul 11 11:01:45 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6256 * dir.c, tree.c: Updating of the tree widget when loading new
6257 directories should be working again.
6259 * dlg.c (find_widget_type): New function to find the first widget
6260 in a dialog head. FIXME: find_buttonbar should be rewritten to use
6263 * cons.saver.c (detect_console): Should detect a console on
6266 * help.c: Works again.
6268 * slint.c (has_colors): Now it activates color based on the
6271 * OSF/1 C Compiler portability fixes (change the format of the cpp
6272 directives), thanks to Ching Hui,.
6274 Mon Jul 10 13:04:19 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6276 * view.c (flush_line): Now we use call directly the widget command
6277 to insert the line text thus avoiding escaping the string.
6279 * dlg.c (dlg_run_done): Tk: focus the previous running dialog.
6281 * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_readdir), mcfs.c (mcfs_readdir), tar.c: On
6282 Slowaris 2 and maybe the new Linux C library (with the latest
6283 kernels) the d_name field is only 1 byte long, a clever trick that
6284 breaks our code. We now have an extra buffer after the dirent
6285 struct. In short: the VFS works under Solaris.
6287 * main.c, screen.c (panel_new): Use the vfs' mc_get_current_dir
6289 * slint.c (slang_keypad): Now it should set the keypad mode before
6290 starting up, this should fix the problem with the keyboard.
6293 * screen.c (panel_new): mc core dumped when I tried to change the
6294 Listing mode, because it did not initialize the panel->fmt_count
6297 * wtools.c: the net based file systems showed the typed in password.
6299 Fri Jul 7 14:37:44 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6301 * view.c (flush_line, view_gotoxy): Added initial support for
6302 caching viewer lines in the Tk version, need to escape the special
6303 character sequences before it will work properly.
6305 Thu Jul 6 17:25:00 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6307 * subshell.c (init_subshell): We no longer complain if the
6308 subshell can not be used, we just toggle it off
6310 Thu Jul 6 16:24:34 1995 Mark Olesen <tma@encore.com>
6312 * slint.c: Check for the COLORTERM environment variable, this
6313 will activate the color support for slang.
6315 Thu Jul 6 16:24:34 1995 Thanh Ma <tma@encore.com>
6317 * tcputil.c, mcserv.c: The correct include file to use is not
6318 rpc/types.h but rpc/rpc.h
6320 Wed Jul 5 12:55:31 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6322 * file.c (file_mask_dialog): Should compile with Unixware compiler.
6324 * Makefile.in (CPPFLAGS): Thanks to Thanh Ma <tma@encore.com> for
6325 pointing me that the regex code from GNU can be used without alloca.
6328 Wed Jul 5 19:34:52 1995 Mark Olesen <olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca>
6330 * Portability to non GNU C compiler under AIX: replaced #ifdef 0
6331 for #if 0, included time.h in vfs files, mem.h: rindex is only
6332 defined if no definition existed previously.
6334 Tue Jul 4 18:27:10 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6336 * screen.c (chdir_other_panel): Now Alt-o besides showing the
6337 contents of the current directory in the other panel, moves the
6338 cursor down one line. Please tell me if you like this option.
6340 * find.c (insert_file): Removed the code that advanced the dir
6341 name pointer over the "./", this caused the find/panelize problem
6342 to be triggered, since the panelized paths were all wrong.
6344 * mc.tcl (center_win): Tk: Dialogs are now centered inside the
6345 main window and have local grabs (at least!)
6347 Mon Jul 3 18:15:12 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6349 * mc.tcl: Now child windows are centered after being displayed.
6350 This is still not working properly, since we flush all the events
6351 (and thus make the window visible) before we compute the correct
6352 geometry. If someone knows how to center a toplevel window or how
6353 to compute the geometry of a toplevel before it's mapped onto the
6354 screen it would be great.
6356 * tkscreen.c (compute_font_size): Now we finally are able to
6357 compute the font size and thus the panel size, so resizing a panel
6358 should work now. Anyways, most of the job is based on Janne's
6359 changes for the Midnight Commander 2.1 that were not released
6362 Mon Jul 3 10:30:38 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6364 * dlg.c: Fixed event dispatching, now we don't send wrong events.
6366 * tree.c: Define the correct event handler.
6368 * wtools.c (listbox_refresh, listbox_callback): The listbox did
6369 not have a listbox_callback routine and no refresh code, now it does.
6371 Sun Jul 2 20:51:19 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
6373 * file.c: Fixes to the new copy/move commands, on deletion user
6374 can turn off/on typing yes to make himself sure he wants to do it
6375 (the other possibility is that the No button will be default instead
6376 of Yes). Also, added support to preserve UID/GIDs when copying (only
6377 root can do it). Can anyone test all of this :)...
6379 Also, removed the mask rename command, which should be completely
6380 redundant by the new rename operation (you just do specify both
6381 masks as before, the only difference is that you can now specify
6382 a target path as well, i.e. mask rename equals to rename in the
6385 * main.c (cd_try_to_select): is done for tar archives as well :)
6387 * mc.1: Eventhough real programmers do not write any documentation,
6388 I wrote something, which is quite unreadable and unclear and looking
6389 for someone who has a gift of explaining what I wanted to write and
6390 actually wrote (this mightn't be the same).
6392 * xv/Makefile.in: Another change in the Makefile. Hopefully XView
6393 will compile out of box now, not for the second time...
6395 * wtools.c (query_dialog_*): Added new procedure (query_dialog_sel),
6396 which has one of its parameters id of the button you want to have
6399 * dlg.c: Support for initial focus, currently used in query_dialog_*
6400 only, but should become at least a bit more used.
6402 Thu Jun 29 13:01:31 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6404 * wtools.c (query_dialog): Fixed the bug that showed only empty
6407 Wed Jun 28 09:14:00 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6409 * subshell.c (sigchld_handler): Fixed another miguel-mistake. We
6410 should not return blindly after dispatching one signaled child,
6411 maybe the console saver also had something to say and only one
6414 Tue Jun 27 12:14:10 1995 Ching Hui (u811563@Oz.nthu.edu.tw)
6416 * subshell.c (sigchld_handler): Now we only catch the subshell_pid
6417 and the cons_saver_pid, this should fix the long standing bug with
6418 popen and other wait() calls.
6420 Mon Jun 26 14:23:22 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6422 * tkwidget.c (tk_radio_callback, tk_check_callback): They now call
6423 the actions on the standard widget.
6425 Sat Jun 24 16:29:52 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6427 * chown.c: Now it uses labels for the interesting information, the
6428 rest will be handled on Tk.
6430 Fri Jun 23 15:01:55 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6432 * hotlist.c (init_hotlist): We now use labels instead of manually
6433 drawing the labels on the widget. This is what must be done for
6434 the rest of the widgets in order to run the dialogs with both
6437 * (tk/): find file command, listing mode, sort order and option
6438 configuration panels work on tk.
6440 Thu Jun 16 00:09:09 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
6442 * xvkey.c: Got rid of mouse and key stuff of the text version, so
6443 now good bye lgpm and a chunk of ncurses. I will have to take some
6444 time and remove all the ncurses/slang dependent stuff :)
6446 * configure: Fixed bugs
6448 * xvmain.c: Modal dialog boxes. Should be done for file.c's dialog
6449 (it is not run by xvrundlg_event) one day :)
6451 Fri Jun 9 22:24:23 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6453 * screen.c (format_file): Split repaint_file, now format_file
6454 fills a buffer and then this buffer is passed by repaint_file to
6455 the display engine. This should be usefull for the X version of
6456 the code, since we don't need to duplicated the repainting code.
6458 Fri Jun 9 20:51:22 1995 Sinolitis Vadim <vvs@nsrd.npi.msu.su>
6460 * widget.c (radio_callback): Now the focus color tracks the
6463 Thu Jun 8 22:02:38 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@luthien.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6465 * wtools.c (query_dialog): this one also uses now the label
6466 instead of the draw callback.
6468 Thu Jun 8 13:54:19 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6470 * setup.c (save_panel_types): Save setup bug fix, now it only
6471 saves the listing status if it is a listing, this should get rid
6472 of the random user formats appearing.
6474 * key.c (get_event): M-enter works on slang.
6476 Mon Jun 5 13:22:52 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6478 * layout.c (change_screen_size): Resizing is working again.
6480 Sat Jun 3 15:51:15 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6482 * dlg.c (init_widget): Data is cleared on init_widget.
6484 * mcfs.c (mcfs_readdir): Now it allocates the cached directory
6485 list in the proper order, also frees the catched directory
6488 * key.c: Disposal of the sequences and the channel lists.
6490 * Changed printw calls for addstr where possible.
6492 Sat Jun 3 11:44:30 1995 "Sinolits Vadim V." <vvs@nsrd.npi.msu.su>
6494 * tkmain.c (xtoolkit_init): Call the proper Tcl/Tk setup routines
6496 Fri Jun 2 18:04:31 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6498 * subshell.c (read_subshell_prompt): prompt_pos is reset upon
6499 seeing a newline or after calling feed_subshell instead of being
6500 reset each time here. This fixes the bug of truncated prompts.
6502 Fri Jun 2 16:20:00 1995 John Davis <davis@space.mit.edu
6504 * sldisply.c (COLOR_EQS): Compare b&w attributes when running
6507 Fri Jun 2 10:38:11 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6509 * main.c (copy_prog_name): Added support to copy the current
6510 pathname from the trees.
6512 Tue May 30 20:29:40 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6514 * slint.c, color.c: Added Slang support for Black and white
6515 terminals, thanks to John Davis for helping me with the code.
6517 * subshell.c (read_subshell_prompt): return whenever we actually
6518 read something from the inferior subshell, if that's the case, we
6519 set the update_prompt flag.
6520 (invoke_subshell): if we send commands to the subshell, do not
6521 repaint the loaded prompt, since the subshell will repaint it.
6523 Sun May 28 11:54:02 1995 Jakub Jelinek <root@jj>
6525 * aclocal.m4, configure.in, xview/Makefile.in: Autodetection of
6526 XView, you can use configure switches --with-xview,
6527 --with-xview-includes=path and --with-xview-libraries=path to
6528 override if configure cannot find yours xview libs/headers.
6529 There is a make goal mxc in xview/Makefile which now compiles quite
6530 the same Midnight Commander, but will contain XView support later
6533 Thu May 25 20:34:17 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6535 * key.c: Please note that on IRIX terminals you should set the
6536 .mc.ini variable irix_fn_keys to 1.
6538 * Use new version of Slang, now is covered under the GPL.
6540 * key.c (get_key_code): Now we have a nice routine that does the
6541 conversion for us of constants, this is needed at least for the
6544 Fri May 26 09:58:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
6546 * Restructuralized the system of Makefiles to be one per dir,
6547 also moved to the config.h autoconf model, so that our command
6548 lines do not get unbearable chunks of -D defines. Note:
6549 The source for the root Makefile and autoconf sources are
6550 in the config directory in order to keep the root directory
6553 Thu May 25 17:32:52 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
6555 * command.c (examine_cd, do_cd_command): Changed the behaviour
6556 of our internal cd command (the one typed on the command line).
6557 Now we support simple variable expansion, but without quoting,
6558 i.e. all the $VAR and ${VAR} will be expanded if the variables
6559 exist, otherwise it will remain $VAR or ${VAR}. Any comments??
6560 The second thing is that we now in case of failure use
6561 the CDPATH variable used by bash etc., which has a $PATH form
6562 and specifies paths which will be added at the beginning of the
6563 requested path in case it is not absolute.
6564 Other possibility for the user is to run
6566 and he'll get all his shell behaviour he wants to.
6567 NOTE: This should be documented :)
6569 Tue May 23 13:12:53 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6571 * main.c (init_sigchld): Bug fix: install the sigchild signal
6574 * vfs.c (mc_mmap): Small bug fix: store the actual place where the
6575 mmap took place. Thanks again to Wim for providing a test case
6578 * screen.c (panel_event): Marking with the mouse works again.
6580 * mcserv.c, mcfs.c: Use the portmapper to register a system port,
6581 this gets rid of the security weakness of the server.
6583 * mcfs.c, ftpfs.c: Use the common routine get_host_and_username to
6584 parse remote addresses instead of two separate routines.
6586 * tar.c (open_tar_archive): Reset the read pointer on the
6587 compressed tar file, split in three functions (tar_open): set a
6588 proper value for file->fd (tar_close): do not close files that
6589 have not been opened.
6591 Mon May 22 17:39:00 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6593 * profile.c: Now we handle integers instead of shorts.
6595 * vfs.c (mc_mmap): Added checking for invalid file handles
6597 * widget.c (radio_event): Mouse support works again on radio
6598 buttons (thanks to Jakub for pointing this bug to me).
6600 * menu.c (menubar_event): Now dragging from a non-dropped menu bar
6601 drops the menubar as it should (thanks again to Jakub).
6603 * find.c: Now uses the vfs.
6605 * info.c (info_hook): Do not display the info view if there is an
6606 overlapping window in top of us.
6608 Sun May 21 22:36:13 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
6610 * vfs.c, tar.c, ..., boxes.c: Added a rubbish collector for
6611 non local virtual file systems. If an archive / connection
6612 is not as current dir in any panel and if it has no open
6613 files and it is not an envelope of an unfreed tar archive,
6614 we give it a user selectable timeout (in seconds) from the
6615 last operation on the archive/connection and after the
6618 * tar.c, boxes.c: Added a user selectable limit for gzipped
6619 tar archives. If the uncompressed size is less than this limit,
6620 archive will be gunzipped into memory, if it is not, than we
6621 gunzip it somewhere into /tmp. The user can also set that
6622 he wants all the archives to be extracted into memory or to
6623 disk (the latter one by setting the limit to 0 B).
6624 Both vfs options are in the Virtual FS dialog from the Option menu.
6626 Thu May 18 11:16:45 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6628 * view.c (get_byte): Now the viewer will show you the contents of
6629 the zero length files by setting it's mode to growing buffers, so
6630 now it's possible to see all those nice files on /proc with the
6633 * widget.c: Moved the buttonbar code from win.c
6634 (input_callback): Now we actually quote everything
6636 * ftpfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Should work with more ftp servers
6637 (ftp.dec.com, ftp.nuclecu.unam.mx, prep.ai.mit.edu are working).
6639 Wed May 17 13:11:49 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6641 * Makefile.in (mcserv): Fixed the Makefiles for old and broke make
6642 programs that do not handle the $< on regular dependencies (just
6645 Wed May 17 23:19:03 1995 Jakub Jelinek (root@jj)
6647 * ext.c (regex_command): Call the file command even on non-local
6648 files, but if it is non-local, pipe the first 8192 bytes of the
6649 file on standard input of a `file -` command.
6651 * util.c (mc_doublepopen, mc_doublepclose): The routines for
6652 piping input and output of an command from tar.c moved here and
6653 made for more general use (currently this is called also from
6656 Tue May 16 12:32:00 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6658 * view.c (view): Now we return a truth value telling if we were
6659 able to show or not the file.
6661 * ext.c (regex_command): Do not call the file command on non-local
6664 Now we only make a localcopy if the command is not a chdir
6665 command. This allows us to still use filters for viewing files
6666 while using the chdir command properly (ie: we do not chdir to
6667 mc:dir//tmp/something).
6669 * configure.in: Now autodetects the proper value for formatting
6670 man pages (-mandoc or -man macros) and also detect the arguments
6671 to the file command required by view.c
6673 * tree.c (tree_do_search): Trees now have searches again.
6675 * boxes.c (tree): We have the tree routine again working.
6677 * layout.c (get_current_index, get_current_type, get_other_type):
6678 We do not use midnight_dlg->current->widget anymore as an alias
6679 for current_panel, since for instance commands executed from the
6680 menu make midnight_dlg->current be the menubar and not a panel.
6681 We use cpanel that is currently being set by
6682 panel_event/WIDGET_FOCUS.
6684 This fixes the compare directories command, thanks to Wim for
6685 pointing out this bug.
6687 Sun May 14 14:48:07 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6689 * main.c (tree_box): Started to code the tree box using the tree
6690 widget. It's almost there.
6692 * view.c (toggle_hex_mode): Calling get_bottom_first is a very
6693 expensive operation (on a 386@16 Mhz it takes several seconds (half
6694 a minute reported on another machine) to switch from hex mode to
6697 * tree.c (show_tree): Now the tree code uses the colors defined
6700 * configure.in (witf-vfs): Small bug fix, thanks to
6701 fbingha@ultrix5.cs.csubak.edu
6703 Mon May 15 21:29:05 1995 Jakub Jelinek (root@jj)
6705 * ftpfs.c, mcfs.c, tcputil.c: First trial on a ftp file system:
6706 the syntax is as follows:
6707 ftp://[[user]@]host[:port]/remotepath
6709 ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux (anonymous ftp)
6710 ftp://miguel@roxanne.nuclecu.unam.mx/c/nc (ftp login as miguel)
6711 ftp://myhost.foo.edu:4311/public (anonymous on specified port)
6712 ftp://@jj.vc.cvut.cz/src (ftp login as your current
6714 Take care, it is only ---------------pre-ALPHA version. Really not
6715 ready for any use, except bug fixing.
6717 Sat May 13 19:29:03 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6719 * tar.c (__tarfs_find_entry): On the strcmp (pent->name, p),
6720 changed the break for a return pent. This should fix the bug on
6723 Sat May 13 22:45:00 1995 Jakub Jelinek (root@jj)
6725 * mc.edit: New configuration file (can be overridden by a
6726 ~/.mc.edit) of the same format as mc.ext and mc.view. Defines
6727 which editors are for which extensions or types of files.
6729 * ext.c (exec_extension): Made possible viewing and editing
6730 of files in non-local vfs's. Currently the %f parameter, if it
6731 should be expanded to a non-local vfs name (like tar:...tar/name),
6732 is substituted by a temporary name in /tmp, into which is the
6733 non-local file copied. Then, as soon as you finish with
6734 viewing/editing/extension dependent command, we look if the file
6735 /tmp/something was changed. If it is so, we update it by copying
6736 back - note: tarfs is read only at the moment.
6737 Also note that only %f parameter is handled in this way.
6739 * Fixed a readlink problem on the artificial .. directory in the
6740 root of the tar archive.
6742 Fri May 12 19:17:02 1995 Jakub Jelinek (root@jj)
6744 * util.c (string_perm): Fixed text mode appearance when there is no
6745 x and we put there an s or t over (suid, sgid or sticky). Then the
6746 letter should be uppercase.
6748 * tar.c (make_dot_doubledot): Created an fictive .. entry in the
6749 root of the tar archive so you can easily escape by pressing enter
6750 on it. (Previously you had to do a cd ..).
6752 (read_header): Fixed a problem on non-ANSI tar archives.
6754 * tar.c (tarfs_analysis): Now correctly enters tar archives
6755 by the cd tar:/path/archive.tar/ and cd tar:archive.tar/ method.
6757 * vfs.c (mc_opendir, mc_chdir): Fixed a problem when there was
6758 an tar archive (or gzipped/compressed tar) inside of the tar archive
6760 Thu May 11 18:13:20 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6762 * configure.in: the subshell support and the vfs code are now the
6763 default build options, the user should specify --without-subshell
6764 and --without-vfs in case it wants to.
6766 * boxes.c (display_bits_box), wtools.c (quick_dialog): Now we use
6767 radio buttons to display the display bits. Implemented the
6768 quick_radio routine to achieve this.
6770 * screen.c (next_page_key), cmd.c (view_cmd): They both check for
6771 links to directories now to perform a chdir.
6773 * slint.c: Removed dependency on the local slang patch
6775 * main.c, user.c: Misc checks, we do not use opanel without
6776 checking for it's type first.
6778 * user.c (test_condition): Fixed another bug reported by Wim
6779 Osterholt: We check for the validity of the other panel type.
6781 * layout.c (set_display_type): Fix: if the panel has been resized
6782 artificially and we are switching to a panel type that does not
6783 make use of the long panel size, reduce the panel size, thanks to
6784 Wim Osterholt for pointing this bug.
6786 Thu May 11 22:31:10 1995 Jakub Jelinek (root@jj)
6788 * changed 0 to UP_KEEPSEL in most update_panels calls in order
6789 to keep current selection in the other panel as stable as possible.
6791 * view.c (get_byte): fixed viewing on non-local vfs's (there was a
6792 read instead of an mc_read call)
6794 * view.c (init_growing_buffer): Fixed viewing of non-piped
6797 * view.c (display): Assured that we have always to show something if
6800 Wed May 10 21:02:30 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6802 * tcputil.c (tcp_init, rpc_send, rpc_get), mcfs.c: We now check
6803 the status of the connection, the program should not block anymore
6804 if the server crashes or disconnects.
6806 mcfs.c (mcfs_get_host_and_username): Now parses correctly the user
6807 name (mc:remotehost:remoteuser/utils is a correct path for example).
6809 Tue May 9 11:45:10 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
6811 * mcserv.c (do_auth): If root, change the UID and the GID to those
6812 of the user logged in. If the user logged in as anonymous or ftp,
6813 do a chroot to the directory of the ftp/anonymous account.
6815 Wed May 10 22:09:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek (root@jj)
6817 * dir.c (set_zero_dir), main.c (do_cd): Currently we can cd
6818 into directories --x (we will see only ..), but we should be
6819 able to get there. Also, fixed a problem when the one of the parent
6820 is not readable (then Permission denied is displayed instead of the
6821 directory path). Only works in vfs. But - does somebody need not to
6822 use vfs? I think we should make it as default or the only
6825 * util.c (name_trunc): I know I'm not going along with the crowd
6826 when using non-printable characters in directory names, but this
6827 makes me happy. It doesn't scramble the screen any more :-)
6829 * view.c, vfs.c, local.c, tar.c, mcfs.c: Added mc_mmap and mc_munmap
6830 calls and converted viewing out of FILE f* calls, so that it works
6831 in vfs as well. mc_mmap call is defined only in localfs, but I'll
6832 extend it to tarfs soon.
6834 * widget.c: Fixed a problem in File Find - all input lines were
6835 passworded (*), the is_password was uninitialized.
6837 Mon May 8 13:29:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6839 * widget.c (update_input), wtools (quick_widget, input_dialog):
6840 Added support for password prompts.
6842 * mcserv.c (do_auth): Now we try to authenticate with pwdauth if
6843 available on the system, then we try the conventional validation
6844 method (this only works on systems without the shadow suite) and
6845 finally we try to login to a local ftp server.
6847 * view.c (view_labels): F3 is also a quit key, very usefull for
6848 browsing large amounts of information (F3 chdirs, F3, enters
6849 viewer, F3 quits viewer).
6851 Sun May 7 13:31:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6853 * mcserv.c (do_auth), mcfs.c (login_server): Added authentication,
6854 currently it only supports authentication by connecting to a local
6855 FTP server and trying to login.
6857 * main.c (quit_cmd): Fixed the quit bug when confirm_exit was 0.
6859 Sat May 6 14:31:26 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6861 * util.c (delete_hook): Fixed the delete_hook routine, now it
6862 may delete hooks on hook variables with more than one hook.
6864 (hook_present): Returns true if a function is on the hook list
6866 * layout.c (set_display_type): Load the currently selected file in
6867 the quick view panel, not /etc/motd
6869 * view.c: Fixed view initialization (quick view mode had
6871 quick view now is updated on the idle time.
6873 Thu May 4 13:37:27 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6875 * main.c (do_execute): Console is now refreshed here, we do not
6876 rely on the client function calling do_refresh.
6878 * mcfs.c: Now functions check the return value of mcfs_get_path.
6880 * vfs.c: mcfs and local file system do not use the trailing slash
6883 Tue May 2 17:48:28 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6885 * boxes.c (display_box): Now the current_mode is set before
6886 initializing the display box.
6888 Wed May 3 17:20:13 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
6890 * tar.c, vfs.c, main.c: Changes to the current directory handling,
6891 paths across virtual filesystems, extensive use of vfs_canon.
6893 * tar.c: Now uses real growing buffers - still locks on some
6894 large gzipped tar.gz's :-(
6896 Tue May 2 18:05:34 1995 Radek Doulik <root@RoDo-station>
6898 * main.c (quit_cmd): fixed bug when confirm_exit is 0
6900 * achown.c (advanced_chown_callback): repaired cursor move
6902 * key.c (mi_getch): bug fix in while () - enables ^X key
6903 combinations for libc.5.*
6905 * chmod.c, chown.c: new variables - shared by ch* commands,
6906 needed for correct redraw (try ^L)
6908 Tue May 2 00:01:05 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jj@jj)
6910 * tar.c, tar.h, vfs.c, vfs.h, ...: Added tar and compressed tar
6911 support. Still buggy, read only, view doesn't work there...
6913 * ext.c: Added the %cd command, which can be called to change current
6914 mc's directory, like in
6915 \.tar$ %cd tar:%d/%f/
6917 Fri Apr 28 18:32:15 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6919 * dlg.c (slow_box), screen.c: Use the slow_terminal variable to
6920 avoid drawing the acs chars.
6922 Thu Apr 27 17:06:56 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6924 * screen.c, panel.h: searching and was_searching are now state
6925 variables of each panel.
6927 * view.c (get_line_at): Search optimization: gets the string only
6928 one time, not two times as it used to do.
6930 * setup.c (load_setup), screen.c (panel_destroy, panel_new): Ugly
6931 hacks to let us use the profile mechanism to keep values of the
6932 panels between mode switches while not being an auto-save feature.
6934 Mon Apr 24 16:17:53 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6936 * widget.c (handle_char): Clear the quote variable after we have
6939 Tue Apr 25 20:31:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
6941 * ext.c (regex_command): We now take from the `file -L' command
6942 only output after the initial filename: and whitespace, 'cause
6943 I had problems with viewing files that contained gzip in its name.
6945 * file.c: made a hardlink cache, so that we retain hardlinks
6946 (if you have a hardlink to a file and that file was already copied,
6947 then the new file is just a hardlink to that file it was copied).
6948 Copying of special files (block, character, fifos and sockets) is
6949 now possible. Copy and move now handles always with absolute
6950 filenames (I think the vfs will need it absolutely) and the
6951 added cwd is stripped when displaying the source. When copying
6952 a symlink to a directory, it will be a symlink and not a directory.
6954 * find.c: Fixed the problem when no files were found in the search
6955 (you had to kill mc).
6957 * menu.c: Fixed a problem with movement keys in menus when compiled
6958 with the libc.so.5.x.x (ELF) on Linux.
6960 * local.c: Fixed some obvious bugs (local_write, local_open).
6962 Wed Apr 19 10:43:37 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6964 * vfs.c, local.c: started the vfs layer code, currently only the
6965 local case is handled.
6967 * dlg.c (dlg_try_hotkey): User Interface Change: Hotkeys are not
6968 sent anymore when the focus is on an input line, this fixes a long
6971 Support has been added to use hotkeys bounded to alt-<char> they
6972 are converted to char events on the try hotkey routine.
6974 Tue Apr 18 18:26:20 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
6976 * screen.c: Panels use a private search_buffer instead of a global
6979 * slint.c, myslang.h: Added the slang support, currently it runs
6982 * color.c: reorganized code, now the boldness of the attributes is
6983 not hard coded, there is a new set of bright colors.
6985 Wed Apr 19 00:39:10 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz)
6987 * complete.c (complete_engine): Fixed a bug that caused
6988 completions not to be shown at all on some places where it should
6989 be applied (namely when you had a space just on the current point).
6991 * cmd.c (view_cmd): Changed so that it uses ~/.mc.view and mc.view
6992 files to determine which program should be piped for which file.
6994 Format of the mc.view file is the same as of the mc.ext file. Both
6995 were extended now: They can include white lines, comments (#......),
6996 files can be matched using an exact match (when beginning with .
6997 like in .tar.gz), using an regexp match or shell pattern match
6998 (depends on setting shell_patterns=0/1 as the first line of the mc.*
6999 file) and using an regexp match on output of the `file -L %f'
7000 command (using the ?"pattern" syntax). In this case you can
7001 use embedded spaces (when quoted by \). Take care with the ^
7002 character in the pattern - a usual output of the file -L command
7003 starts with the full pathname, followed by :, space and then
7004 description of the content.
7005 Included one more preprocessed command - %view, optionally followed
7006 by {} with a list of view options separated by commas. Currently
7007 only ascii, hex, nroff and unformatted are supported. This command
7008 causes all the rest of the command (this command is replaced by
7009 nothing) is run and its standard output is piped into the internal
7010 viewer. If only %view command is given and nothing else, like in
7012 ?"executable" %view{hex}
7014 then the internal viewer is forced to load just the file %f and
7015 set the viewer attributes.
7017 * ext.c: Rewritten in order to handle changes described above.
7019 * view.c (view, view_init, do_view_init, init_growing_buffer):
7020 Changed arguments to these routines, there is no is_program any
7021 more, but two strings: command and filename. If command is NULL, it
7022 is like is_program=0 before. If command is not NULL, then depending
7023 on the Parsed/Raw option (the F8 option was renamed so) will pipe
7024 in command or display filename. In the status line on top filename
7025 is always shown and not command (no more nroff -... titles on
7026 the status field, just manpage.1).
7028 Fri Apr 14 14:32:25 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7030 * main.c (setup_mc): We should not push a refresh handler anymore,
7031 it's handled by the dialog manager.
7033 * util.c (close_error_pipe): Fixed a long standing bug. Need to
7034 check len for indexes that are > 0, otherwise we override the
7035 stack contents. In this special case the variable that got
7036 overwritten is part of the $edi register variable, this had
7037 unexpected consequences. The first documented symptom was
7038 detected by Erwin when quitting the view command on a runnable
7041 Mon Apr 10 13:05:55 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7043 * screen.c (panel_key): Fixed the problem with Alt-s adding an 's'
7046 KEY_LEFT and KEY_RIGHT events are only used if we have a need to
7047 do it same done on tree.c tree_key.
7049 Sun Apr 9 20:42:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jj@jj.vc.cvut.cz>
7051 * cmd.c (view_other_cmd): Subshell support should compile now.
7053 * menu.c (menubar_paint_idx): Menu separators.
7055 * view.c (display, move_forward2, change_nroff): Added possibility
7056 to switch the nroff style formatting off (using the F9 key).
7058 * view.c (search, regexp_view_search, do_regexp_search): Searching
7059 should now work on growing buffers, regexp searches should be OK
7060 as well (and search for real regexps and not for shell patterns -
7061 formerly was a F6 search for a.e a search for ^a\.e (and nobody has
7064 * command.c (do_cd_command): Fixed a problem with the cd command
7065 when no space was after cd characters (just enter).
7067 Tue Apr 4 17:38:24 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7069 * key.c (get_event): The mouse is displayed after the refresh.
7071 * main.c (menu_cmd): F9/Shift-F9 works again.
7073 Tue Apr 4 16:50:46 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7075 * file.c (panel_operate): Fix by Ron Sommeling <sommel@sci.kun.nl>
7076 Actually use the setting of the confirm_delete variable.
7078 Sat Apr 1 19:18:52 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7080 * menu.c: Has been converted to a widget. I have tried to
7081 keep the cursor in the selection place. This should help people
7084 * main.c, cmd.c: Subshell support works again.
7086 * layout.c: The program should work now with the
7087 nice_rotating_dash option set.
7089 Mon Mar 27 13:14:25 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7091 * dlg.c (run_dlg): Hotkey is allways sent to the current widget if
7092 they have set the W_WANT_HOTKEY value. It is not sent only if
7093 WIDGET_HOTKEY returns 1.
7095 Sat Mar 25 18:40:15 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7097 * tree.c: Converted to a widget.
7099 Fri Mar 24 20:16:52 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7101 * setup.c (load_setup): We do not expect any longer to have the
7102 variables sort_* and display type.
7104 Thu Mar 23 12:37:02 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7106 * layout.c (set_display_type): This function takes care of the
7107 views displayed in the screen. It is responsible for creating and
7108 destroying the left and right panels. This routine is the one to
7109 be changed for the multiple panels support.
7111 * screen.c (panel_destroy): Save the setup just before shutting down.
7112 (panel_new): Load the setup at panel startup.
7114 * setup.c (panel_save_setup, panel_load_setup): Functions to load
7117 * boxes.c (display_init): Do not call the input_set_point routines
7118 before adding the widget to the proper place.
7120 * configure.in (LIBS): We do not use the writable-strings anymore.
7122 Mon Mar 27 14:48:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jjel3210@beta.ms.mff.cuni.cz>
7124 * util.c (icase_search): Fixed a bug in searching algorithm.
7126 * util.c (canonicalize_pathname): This routine handled incorrectly
7127 ../../* and such things (this particular was squeezed to /).
7129 * view.c (get_byte): get_byte always returns -1 if we try to look
7132 * (display): Added _\b? sequence (underlined in ntroff) as red on
7133 blue, added highlighting of search results - FIXME: it has to work
7134 with regexps as well.
7136 * (search): Now we can search through binary files (containing some
7137 \0 stuff) as easy as in text files and we support result
7140 * (block_search, hex_search): Fixed a bug in searching algorithm.
7142 Wed Mar 22 13:45:58 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7144 * main.c (repaint_screen): Now we call do_refresh ().
7146 * widget.c (input_new): Do not call update_input at program
7147 startup, wait for the kind WIDGET_DRAW message to arrive.
7149 * hotlist.c, chmod.c, chown.c, boxes.c, achown.c, wtools.c,
7150 option.c, layout.c: Converted them to use the new widget methods.
7152 Tue Mar 21 13:35:11 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7154 * dlg.c (add_widget): Modify widget position relative to the
7157 * win.c: Implemented the WButtonBar widget. Changed the code to
7160 * main.c (midnight_callback): DLG_UNHANDLED_KEY now takes care of
7163 Mon Mar 20 10:28:00 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7165 * widget.c (input_callback): Return whenever the input char is
7168 * input.c (handle_char): Now returns if the character was handled.
7170 * widget.c (button_callback, radio_callback, check_callback,
7171 input_callback, listbox_callback): Respond to the WIDGET_CURSOR
7174 * dlg.c (dlg_redraw): After redrawing, send a message to let the
7175 widget put the cursor in a suitable place. This is needed since
7176 the panel implementation forces the cursor to stay on the panel.
7178 * cmd.c: moved most *_cmd functions from main to this file.
7180 * panel.h (selection): Now we should specify an argument (the panel).
7182 Sun Mar 19 14:48:47 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7184 * dlg.h: Removed unnecessary WIDGET_CHECK_HOTKEY.
7185 Widget: added options to the widget structure.
7187 * command.c: New file, implements the WCommand widget. This is a
7188 widget based on WInput. This widget does not accept the focus but
7189 accepts the unused keys messages.
7191 * main.c: left_panel and right_panel are now Panel *.
7192 (view_cmd): We really meant do-cd, not action.
7194 (init_panels): Use the new syntax for panel creation.
7196 Sat Mar 18 19:21:24 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7198 * main.c (do_cd): Now it calls cd_try_to_select when the chdir was
7201 * screen.c (ITEMS, select_item, unmark_files, panel_event,
7202 select_cmd, unselect_cmd, move_down, move_up, move_left,
7203 move_right, mark_file, move_home, move_end, next_page_key,
7204 prev_page_key, goto_top_file, goto_middle_file, goto_bottom_file,
7205 next_page, prev_page, start_search): Moved from main.c
7208 (panel_event): Cleaned up.
7210 renamed do_init_panel to panel_init
7211 renamed init_panel to panel_set_size
7213 * panel.h (Panel structure):
7215 view_type with list_type
7218 Widget structure to make it a widget.
7221 x, y, cols, lines, xpos, ypos: these are redundant with the
7223 half_cols, full_cols: now we compute the values directly
7224 is_status: Panel is only used as a FileListing Widget.
7226 (prototypes): Renamed panel functions to make them more uniform.
7228 * panel.c: Panel routines do not use a special window anymore,
7229 just stdscr (this is needed for the slang port).
7231 * dlg.c (dlg_broadcast_msg): Changed redraw order: this forces the
7232 current item to be the last one drawn.
7234 Fri Mar 17 13:38:41 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7236 * mc.1: Updated man page for completion.
7238 * complete.c: Last big completion changes.
7239 (command_completion_function): Command completion algorithms,
7240 currently supports bash reserved words and builtins only (and of
7241 course examining of $PATH).
7242 (completion_matches): We remove duplicate possibilities.
7243 (try_complete): Changed algorithm where to do which completion.
7244 (complete): Now we use the show_all_if_ambiguous variable to find
7245 out if we should popup possibilities for the first or for the
7246 second time M-Tab is pressed.
7248 * main.c (change_panel, do_cd): On these events we dismiss all the
7249 collected possibilities like we do if the user types any character
7251 (do_nc): We allow command completion on the command line (of course
7254 Wed Mar 15 20:48:13 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7256 * panel.h: the selection variable now is a macro that returns the
7257 current value of the selection instead of relying in a possibly
7258 inaccurate value (I already have seen this).
7260 * option.c: Fixed hotkeys.
7261 (init_configure): Fixed indexes.
7263 * mem.h (bcopy): Fixed horrible bug, should not use macros that
7266 * main.c (view_cmd): Added quick hack to load man pages through
7267 the nroff program using the new growing buffers routines.
7269 * view.c (get_byte): Rewrote routine to use growing buffers.
7270 (init_growing_view): New function to open the view stream.
7271 (load_view_file): cleaned up error handling return values.
7272 (free_file): free the growing buffer memory blocks.
7274 * main.c (prev_page, next_page, prev_page_key, next_page_key): The
7275 PgUp, PgDn key + Control works by doing a chdir up or down, while
7276 the C-v and Alt-v keys moves by pages.
7278 Tue Mar 14 14:22:48 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7280 * view.c (view_status): Should not break even if s.st_size is 0.
7281 (view_init, do_view_init): now we can specify that the input comes
7284 Mon Mar 20 11:36:10 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7286 * main.c (select_item), screen.c: Some more orphans in the panels
7289 * widget.c (label_callback): Mc displays correctly multi-lines
7290 labels (it didn't before).
7292 * wtools.c (input_dialog): Fixed the width problem in dialogs wider
7295 Mon Mar 13 13:15:59 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7297 * complete.c: Next step (probably one more is needed to get it
7298 somehow working with all the expected features, but not bug free).
7299 Now it does hostname completion, if the current word beginns with
7300 a @, username if ~, variable if $ and filename as before. It doesn't
7301 do command completion, checking of where to apply which completion
7302 is not in the state it should be and also you cannot choose whether
7303 the auto_query_if_ambiguous (in this version is the default bash's
7304 behaviour, so we first beep and for the second time show the
7305 possibilities. completion now shows a / after completing a directory
7308 Thu Mar 9 21:25:43 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7310 * colors.c (init_colors): provide dialog_colors with proper
7313 * dlg.c (create_dlg): New dialog creation function. It allocates
7314 the window instead of letting the caller do the window allocation.
7316 * file.c wtools.c, boxes.c, chown.c, achown.c, option.c:
7318 Switch to create_dlg instead of dlg_new.
7320 Do not use the window directly, use the window member of the
7323 Use the coloring scheme dialog_colors instead of it's own copy per
7326 Fri Mar 10 08:21:16 1995 Jakub Jelinek (jelinek1@jfch)
7328 * view.c (display, move_forward2, move_backward2): Changed so it
7329 now correctly handles such things as the bold sequence split accross
7330 the lines in wrap_mode and so on. Cause even move_forward2 became
7331 very complex, I've changed in wrap_mode calls to move_backward2 to
7332 move_forward2 (after finding the previous \n), so there is only
7333 one place we have to change in the future when we want to change
7334 something in the scrolling :-)
7336 Wed Mar 8 18:26:25 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7338 * widget.c (listbox_add_item): Added duplicates handling.
7340 * wtools.c (new_chooser, run_chooser, destroy_chooser): Functions
7341 to write quick routines for selecting entries (possibly letting the
7344 * widget.c (listbox_select_last): New function to remove the
7345 currently selected item.
7347 Wed Mar 8 11:12:19 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@indy4)
7349 * ../doc/FILES: Rewritten to conform new directory structure.
7351 * global.h: Replaced `#if defined(ultrix)...' with `#ifndef
7354 * help.c (show), help.h: Supports bold characters now.
7356 * layout.c (make_box): A new function which outputs a box of
7357 requested size at requested location. (move_resize_panel): A new
7358 function to move and resize the current directory panel.
7360 * layout.h: Added move_resize_panel.
7362 * main.c (only_refresh_screen, only_touchwin, untouch_bar,
7363 repaint_screen): Replaced wrefresh with wnoutrefresh/doupdate pair
7364 in order to reduce blinking. Reordered update sequence to be more
7365 compatible with moved and resized panels. Other small changes.
7366 (outrefresh_screen): A new function which marks all the standard
7367 windows for update but doesn't update them yet. Used by
7368 move_resize_panel. Useful to reduce blinking. (OptMenu): Added
7369 `Move/resize panel'. (handle_args): Fixed a small bug which
7370 prevented `-U' option from working.
7372 * main.h: Added outrefresh_screen.
7374 * man2hlp.c (handle_command): Checks that heading levels are even.
7375 Outputs bold_on/bold_off commands in the HLP mode, too.
7377 * panel.h: Added the coordinates of the top left corner. Required
7378 by move_resize_panel.
7380 * screen.c (init_panel): Sets the coordinates of the top left
7383 * util.c (is_printable): I think DEL character is never printable.
7385 * view.c (display): Now show sequences like
7386 character-backspace-character as boldface (like less does).
7387 (move_forward2): Handles correctly character-backspace-character
7388 sequences. FIXME: I could not figure out how to change
7389 move_backward2 to handle char-bspace-char sequences correctly.
7391 Tue Mar 7 22:12:13 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7393 * widget.c (listbox_key): No more orphans in listboxes when
7396 * widget.c (listbox_get_current): It didn't work with the
7397 second parameter NULL (if we didn't want to get extra data).
7399 * setup.c, option.c, main.c (*cd_symlinks): Added flag to enable
7400 /disable following of logical directory structure made of symlinks
7401 (which I have added 3 days ago). Rearranged key assignment in the
7402 Configuration dialog, so that all keys work for the check boxes
7403 where they are capitalized.
7405 * input.c (is_in_input_map): Test function for the complete engine.
7407 * complete.c: Now it shows a listbox of all possible completions
7408 if there are more then one, you can type characters when this
7409 listbox is displayed and mc will try to complete as much as it can.
7410 You may select an entry and press Enter to insert it into the
7411 input line or you can press M-Tab again if you've typed some
7412 characters and want to see fewer possibilities. Still lacks
7413 other completions than filename.
7415 * boxes.c: Cosmetic changes to the Display mode dialog.
7417 Fri Mar 3 19:25:12 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7419 * boxes.c (select_format, display_callback): Added a list for the
7420 user formats while pressing C-c.
7422 * man2hlp.c (handle_command): Small change to remove the spaces
7423 before the section name.
7425 Mon Mar 6 08:38:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7427 * new files: complete.c, complete.h - First steps for the
7428 filename/command/username/variable/hostname completion in
7429 the input lines. At the moment only filename completion is
7432 * input.[ch]: Incorporation of complete.[ch] into the project,
7433 complete function is assigned to the M-Tab keystroke.
7435 Sat Mar 4 21:19:32 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7437 * main.c (do_cd): cd should follow symlinks up to the location
7438 where you've entered them and not to the .. directory of the
7439 real directory symlinks are pointing to.
7441 * util.c (canonicalize_pathname): This routine makes previous
7442 change possible and despite of that can be usefull elsewhere
7445 Tue Feb 28 09:39:20 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7447 * boxes.c (display_bits_box): Added the nice dialog box for
7448 choosing the number of display bits.
7450 * util.c (is_printable): Added the full 8 bit support as well as
7453 * main.c (next_page): Now also handles C-PgDn, this chdirs into
7454 the current directory.
7456 * boxes.c (quick_dialog): New routine to write simple dialog boxes
7457 with confirmation boxes, no more, no less.
7459 * util.c (ctrl_pressed): Thanks to Alessandro Rubini for providing
7462 * main.c (do_cd_command): We can't write past the buffer (cmd [3]
7465 (quit_cmd): Added check for confirmation before exiting.
7467 * configure.in, util.c: The proper thing to do is to check
7468 for strdup here and not for ultrix.
7470 * main.c (view_other_cmd): Changed call to mi_getch for xgetch,
7471 since now we have a do_update call in mi_getch.
7473 Wed Mar 1 20:03:17 1995 root <root@RoDo-station>
7475 * achown.c: space now does nothing (in future maybe toggle),
7476 after '+', '-', '=' cursor moves to the next flag (owner)
7478 Thu Feb 23 07:37:56 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7480 * chmod.c, dir.c (stat_file, handle_dirent): Changed
7481 all file type tests to the S_IS* macros, because usage of the
7482 (x & S_IF*) == S_IF* caused misbehaviour, e.g. the block
7483 devices and sockets on linux were handled as directories and
7484 therefore sorting in the /dev directory looked a little bit
7487 * input.c (input_set_prompt): Added a call to update_input,
7488 because otherwise when we changed from a longer to a shorter
7489 prompt, the rest of the old prompt remained on the screen.
7491 * input.c: Added KEY_HOME, KEY_A1, KEY_END and KEY_C1 as
7492 moving to the beginning / end of the input line. It doesn't
7493 do anything on the cmdline, because then we handle these
7494 special keys before, but of other input lines.
7496 * layout.c (init_layout, update_split, layout_callback):
7497 We have to initialize our internal _* variables and not
7498 to wait until someone presses a key / clicks mouse bottom,
7499 because then the first press / click has sometimes no
7500 result. Also I've changed Miguel's recent addition of
7501 redrawing numbers only if they changed, so that it works
7502 fine when you press C-l or check/uncheck Equal checkbox.
7504 * main.c (untouch_bar): Fixed so menu repaints fine even
7505 when having menubar_visible set.
7507 * main.c (init_labels): Having keybar_visible == 0 doesn't
7508 cause an segfault any more.
7510 * view.c (view_init, view): Setting dirty to max_dirt_limit + 1
7511 moved to the view_init function and should work fine (mc
7512 really always displays the view_win on start).
7514 * view.c (move_backward2, move_forward2): Rewritten so it
7515 should work well even when wrapping (e.g. before, when you were
7516 moving up in wrap mode, it moved sometimes several lines up,
7517 moving to the end didn't sometimes reach 100% etc.).
7519 * view.c (get_bottom_first): Added a new check so that the
7520 view's shown page always shows as many lines as possible
7521 (no more last one line on the screen if there are many in the
7523 Thu Feb 23 12:17:39 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
7525 * file.c: Oops, I forgot to include <utime.h>.
7527 * find.c (find_parameters): The previous parameters are now
7528 remembered. (insert_file, do_search, find_callback, start_stop,
7529 find_file): Cosmetic changes. (do_search): Shows the name of
7530 directory being scanned.
7532 * main.c (compare_files): A new function to compare two files,
7533 used by thorough compare. (compare_dir, compare_dirs): Now there
7534 two compare methods: quick compare (the old method) and thorough
7535 compare (byte-by-byte compare).
7537 * mc.1 (Command Menu): Documented the two compare methods.
7539 * util.c (get_full_name): Now able to handle directory names which
7540 end to '/' (required by find file feature).
7542 Thu Feb 5 13:12:20 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7544 * main.c (move_down,prev_page,next_page): Code changed so that
7545 PageDn,Up work well and do not show only some entries if there is
7548 Wed Feb 22 16:18:08 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
7550 * FILES: A new file to list the purpose of files included in the
7551 distribution. I hope wanna-be MC hackers will find it useful.
7553 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Added the FILES file.
7555 * file.c (copy_file_file): Code clean-up. Now preserves time
7558 * find.c (do_search): Optimized, now about ten times faster than
7559 before and only two times slower than GNU find.
7561 * panel.h, find.c, main.c, screen.c: In the Panel structure the
7562 dont_reload field is renamed to is_panelized.
7564 * main.c (reload_panelized): A new function to update contents of
7565 panelized view. (update_panels): Now calls the new
7566 reload_panelized function for panelized panels instead of skipping
7567 update. (enter): Now removes any initial and trailing whitespace
7568 in directory names of the cd command.
7570 * menu.c (run_menu): because F10 is a abort key nowadays there is
7571 no need to check for it again.
7573 Tue Feb 21 17:18:09 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7575 * main.c (handle_args), configure.in: Now you can specify if you
7576 want the subshell by default.
7578 Tue Feb 21 12:51:24 1995 Sinolits Vadim V. <vvs@nsrd.npi.msu.su>
7580 * file.c (copy_file_file): Avoid copying a file to itself.
7582 Tue Feb 21 12:39:06 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@indy6)
7584 * find.c (find_file): Draw the nice dash when panelizing
7586 Sat Feb 18 14:09:12 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@indy6)
7588 * subshell.c (read_subshell_prompt): You can't use a label without
7589 a statement. (pty_open_slave): Irix doesn't support ioctl
7590 (pty_slave, I_PUSH, "ttcompat").
7592 * user.c (expand_format): Removed an extra ';'.
7594 Fri Feb 17 13:56:45 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7596 * main.c (change_view): Call view_done if we are switching away
7597 from a quick view mode.
7599 Thu Feb 16 10:07:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7601 * dialog.c (input_event, input_dialog): Added mouse support
7602 for the input dialogs' edit lines, so the cursor will move
7603 to the place you press mouse on. Also added F10 key as the
7606 * dlg.c (dialog_handle_key): Added C-c and C-g as abort
7607 keys for the dialog (so it behaves exactly same as the input
7610 * main.c (edit_cmd): Fixed a bug that caused improper screen
7611 redrawing if you when searching in the panel pressed F4.
7613 * widget.c (input_event, listbox_select_pos, listbox_event):
7614 Added full mouse functionality for the input line and listbox
7617 * wtools.c (create_listbox_window): Changed colors of user menu
7618 and history command dialogs, so they're compatible with other
7619 dialogs in their look and feel (I found the previous colors
7622 Fri Feb 17 13:04:44 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7624 * layout.c (update_split): We don't update the split information
7625 if it has not changed.
7627 Thu Feb 16 11:07:04 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7629 * main.c: We don't support advanced chmod/chown for 2.0.
7630 (view_other_cmd): Added a repaint screen.
7632 Thu Feb 16 16:12:04 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
7634 * gindex.pl: A small typographical change in the index output.
7636 * user.c (expand_format): Removed a compilation warning.
7638 Thu Feb 16 19:56:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7640 * widget.c (button_event, radio_callback, radio_event, check_event,
7641 listbox_event): Last trial to make layout dialog box work with
7642 mouse. Whenever we send in these events any key to the widgets,
7643 we have to send then a DLG_POST_KEY message to the dialog, what
7644 is normally done when a real key is pressed.
7646 * layout.c (b2_left_cback, b2_right_cback): Removed ugly hack
7647 to update something what is not needed now cause we do it
7648 already in the *_event - see the above change.
7650 Wed Feb 15 22:13:21 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
7652 * layout.c (setup_event): Do not modify the events. Just push
7653 them. Since we have fixed the layout problem, this code is not
7656 * main.c (do_nc): Do not accept character -1.
7658 * input.c (insert_char): Do not accept character -1.
7660 * cons.saver.c (restore_console, save_console, detect_console):
7661 Changes to work with Linux >= 1.1.91. Now they use /dev/vcsaN for
7662 accessing the memory associated with the virtual console N.
7664 Wed Feb 15 00:46:33 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
7666 * main.c (do_execute): Fixed the pause_after_run so the console
7667 contents still get saved even if pause_after_run == pause_never.
7669 * main.h: Removed the after_run_actions enum; it is not used in
7670 any .c files other than main.c, and besides it is inconsistent
7671 with the enum given in main.c itself...
7673 * main.c, main.h (toggle_pause_after_run): Removed as obsolete.
7675 * terms.c (do_exit_ca_mode): New function; the counterpart of
7676 do_enter_ca_mode(). Called in main.c.
7678 * main.c (view_other_cmd): Now calls do_exit_ca_mode(), and it
7679 isn't disabled any more just because OTHER_CURSES is defined.
7681 [Begin Not included]
7682 * subshell.c (pty_open_master, SVR4 version): Temporarily ignore
7683 SIGCHLD while calling grantpt() (which forks a pt_chmod process.)
7685 * main.c (main): Now we always install the SIGCHLD handler here,
7686 regardless of whether use_subshell is set or not.
7688 * subshell.c (init_subshell): No need to mess around with SIGUSR1
7689 any more; we never install the SIGCHLD handler here now.
7692 * util.c (my_system): Don't die horribly if the sigaction() calls
7693 to ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT fail; run the command anyway.
7695 * cons.handler.c (handle_console): Close old pipe ends during
7696 CONSOLE_INIT, in case it is the second time we run cons.saver.
7698 * cons.saver.c (send_contents): Removed the `lastline' variable
7699 and all references to it.
7701 Tue Feb 14 18:16:20 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7703 * chown.c, achown.c (init_chown, init_chown_advanced): Fixed
7704 a bug that caused mouse events to be shifted down, so you
7705 had to click 2 resp. 5 lines above the widget. winpos and the value
7706 of the newwin must be kept in sync.
7708 Wed Feb 15 18:39:01 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
7710 * file.c (panel_operate): Also a single tagged file should be left
7711 tagged if the operation failed.
7713 * gindex.pl: Now can handle hierarchical headings.
7715 * man2hlp.c: Better backslash quoting handling. Now can handle
7716 hierarchial headings. Fixed a problem with HTML links. Now can
7717 handle \& command in the beginning of line.
7719 * mc.1: Switched to hierarchial headings. Some reorganization.
7720 Documented the find file feature, the layout dialog and the file
7723 * menu.c (run_menu): The F10 key works again.
7725 * xnc.hlp (QueryBox): Small change in the wording.
7727 Tue Feb 14 19:13:41 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7729 * Interesting: is_idle returns 0 if we used the mouse on an xterm.
7730 Because the mouse up has not been handled yet. We should take
7731 this into account for the future.
7733 * view.c (view): Force refresh by setting an initial value to
7734 dirty of max_dirt_limit + 1.
7736 * mouse.c (click): Now click returns a MOU_ENDLOOP: this gives the
7737 view command a chance to refresh the screen.
7739 * main.c (menu_bar_event): When executing code from the menus, end
7741 (do_nc): Added a wrefresh before the mi_getch call. This puts the
7742 cursor in the correct position.
7743 (restore_console): Restore the console properly: if using the
7744 subshell support, add the prompt we have loaded, since it may not
7745 have been printed before we got the snapshot of the screen.
7747 * layout.c (layout_cmd): Instead of changing the layout on the
7748 fly, let the main loop take this decision: this solves the problem
7749 of the unpaired frames.
7751 * main.c (init_labels): Misc changes to make the layout changing
7752 code to work (add test to check if fkeys is set before
7755 Mon Feb 13 00:59:04 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7757 * file.c (panel_operate): Now we return 0 if the panel_operate
7758 did not modify the fs, and 1 otherwise.
7760 * main.c (delete_cmd, copy_cmd, ren_cmd): update and repaint the
7761 screen only if panel_operate did something interesting on the disk.
7763 Mon Feb 13 22:54:12 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7765 * dir.c (sort_*): Changed reverse sorting so if the mix_all_files
7766 options is not set, directories come always before other files.
7768 Tue Feb 14 02:47:59 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtkl@jysky.oulu.fi>
7770 * dialog.h, wtools.c (query_dialog): Added a new flag
7771 WITH_HOTKEYS. Now it is possible to use hotkeys other than the
7772 first letters of the possible choices.
7774 * file.c: Added a new function query_recursive which asks
7775 confirmations for the recursive deletes. A part of its code
7776 originates from recursive_erase. (mask_rename): Got rid of a
7777 warning. (panel_operate): Code clean-up. Skipped files are no
7778 longer untagged. (show_bar): Should not overflow anymore.
7780 * layout.c (b2left_cback, b2right_cback, init_layout): An attempt
7781 to adjust panel widths now toggles the equal split off
7782 automatically. (remove_dash): Operates correctly even if menubar
7785 * man2hlp.c (handle_command): Typographic fix in the html index
7788 * screen.c (repaint_file): If the panel is split to two columns no
7789 longer colours the division bar when tagging files or drawing the
7790 selection bar. (display_mini_info): Handles singular and plural
7791 form of the `file' word correctly when outputting number of tagged
7794 * util.c (regexp_match): Optimized: compiles the pattern only if
7795 it has changed since the last time.
7797 * wtools.h: There exists no query_dialog_new function nowadays.
7799 Sun Feb 12 20:31:09 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7801 * main.c (do_nc, main): Reordered the push_frames and panel
7802 creation so that the layout stuff can remove properly all the
7803 mouse events when switching modes (for disabling the key bar).
7805 * win.c: misc changes to add an option to specify whenever we want
7808 * option.c (init_configure), main.c (do_execute): Implemented the
7809 3-type of pause_after_run.
7811 * key.c (mouse_getch): Removed pending variable; now ESC is a
7812 prefix key, not a prefix and a abort key. There is a workaround:
7813 you can set the old_esc_mode in the ini file.
7815 * dialog.c, file.c, menu.c, tree.c, widget.c: C-c and C-g also
7818 * screen.c (parse_display_format): Fixed bug that truncated the
7819 user format if it had an error.
7821 Sun Feb 12 12:31:15 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
7823 * Makefile.in: Added regex.c to SRCS, regex.h to HDRS, regex.o to
7826 * configure, configure.in: Added AC_ALLOCA check. Removed the
7827 search for the correct regular expression commands. The GNU regex
7828 library is used instead.
7830 * file.c (mask_rename): Dumped the old shell pattern parser. The
7831 GNU regex library is used instead.
7833 * mc.1 (File Menu, Mask Rename): Moved the description of the mask
7834 rename feature from the File Menu section to a new Mask Rename
7835 section. Documented the new support for regular expressions (shell
7838 * regex.c, regex.h: New files. Copied from the GNU regex library
7841 * util.c: Removed the #ifdef jungle to get the correct regular
7842 expressions code. Now uses the GNU regex library instead. Moved a
7843 part of the regexp function to a new convert_pattern function.
7845 * util.h: Added convert_pattern.
7847 * key.c (check_selects): Void function can't return value.
7848 (mouse_getch): The gpm_fd variable is not defined if the libgpm is
7851 * user.c (expand_format): Why ';' was removed after "/* Fall
7854 * view.c: Renamed the quit variable to view_quit to avoid problems
7855 with the quit variable in the main.h.
7857 Sat Feb 11 13:31:33 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7859 * main.c (main): Set an initial value for the prompt, since we are
7860 not loading it at subshell initialization.
7862 * key.c (check_selects, add_selects, channels_up, channels_down):
7863 Add a way to activate and deactivate the select channel checking.
7865 * configure.in (LIBS): Removed the -ltermcap
7867 Sat Feb 11 00:46:52 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
7869 * user.c (expand_format): Removed ';' after "/* Fall through */"
7871 * auto.c (do_exec_mount): Blocked SIGCHLD during the fork/wait,
7872 to avoid interference with our sigchld_handler() in main.c.
7874 Fri Feb 10 12:17:37 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7876 * key.c (mouse_getch): Do not use max_fd anymore, use FD_SETSIZE.
7877 (try_channels): New function to check the wait channels on the
7878 work around version of getch.
7880 * widget.c (listbox_get_current): Don't return information if the
7883 * main.c (reread_cmd): Many changes to remove a bunch of warnings.
7885 * widget.c: Added hotkey support to radio buttons.
7887 Sat Feb 11 21:56:03 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
7889 * main.c (panel_event): fixed a bug on mouse dragging in a two
7890 column full sized panel, fixed proper changing of panels when
7891 dragging the mouse, fixed dragging when having panels split
7894 * main.c (panel_event): Double clicking at the border (so not
7895 on any file) doesn't run the active file any more. This caused
7896 some unwanted actions when moving in the panel up and down.
7898 * main.c (paint_quick_view_panel): Blank Quick view panel cannot
7899 be active and current panel is changed automatically.
7901 * screen.c (repaint_file): When the user defined format is
7902 shorter than the actual panel width, there are no black gaps
7903 at the end any more.
7905 * screen.c, panel.h (parse_display_format): When you select
7906 different panel size in used defined format and in user defined
7907 mini-status format, the panel size of mini-status line is adapted
7908 to the panel size of the panel, so there are no black gaps any
7911 * screen.c (paint_frame): Removed black gaps when titles are
7912 shorter and added trimming of titles if they're longer than
7915 * view.c (view_status): Modified for the cases when quick view
7916 panel width is extremely short.
7918 * view.c (view_event): Added unnecessary wrapping, 'cause panel
7921 * mouse.c (mouse_handler, redo_mouse): Changed a hideous bug
7922 that mouse was generating unexpected event coordinates when
7923 auto repeating last event.
7925 Thu Feb 9 13:43:42 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7927 * find.c (find_file): Remove the old directory contents before
7928 panelizing the entries.
7930 * chown.c (chown_cmd): Fixed stupid bug.
7932 * chmod.c (chmod_cmd): Fixed stupid bug.

7935 unselect_cmd): Use strcmp
7936 (,".."), not strncmp (,"..",2)
7938 Thu Feb 9 11:06:46 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
7940 * chmod.c (chmod_mcd), chown.c (chown_cmd): The
7941 is_view_file_listing macro should take cpanel->view_type as
7942 parameter, not plain cpanel.
7944 * configure.in (--with-debug): Added definition of MCDEBUG (used
7947 * file.c (copy_dir_dir, recursive_erase, erase_dir), main.c
7948 (mkdir_cmd): Replaced mkdir and rmdir with my_mkdir and my_rmdir.
7950 * find.c (find_file, do_find): Added a 'Panelize' button to put
7951 found files to the current directory panel (to make possible
7952 viewing, copying, deleting and so on). Press Ctrl-r to return to
7953 normal file listing after panelizing.
7955 * layout.c (destroy_panels): Oops, a pop_fkey call missing. Now
7956 ncurses doesn't seg-fault anymore if the MC catches WINCH signal.
7957 (change_screen_size): Added a noraw call.
7959 * main.c (cd_try_to_select): A new function which tries to select
7960 the old directory if we chdired to the parent directory.
7961 (parse_control_file, action, enter, maybe_cd, tree_cmd,
7962 quick_chdir, tree_leave): Now uses the cd_try_to_select function
7963 instead of try_to_select.
7965 * main.c (update_panels): Tries to avoid reloading after a
7966 panelize operation. (do_nc): The pop_fkey call isn't needed here
7967 anymore after I added it to destroy_panels.
7969 * mc.1 (Directory Tree): Cleared up the explanation of the F3
7970 (Forget) key. (FILES): Fixed the command to generate the .mc.tree
7971 file manually. The .mc.hotlist file isn't used anymore.
7973 * panel.h (Panel): Added a dont_reload flag to be used by panelize
7976 * screen.c (do_init_panel): Now initializes the dont_reload flag.
7977 (panel_reload): If the current directory of the panel doesn't
7978 exist anymore, moves to the parent directory until a existing
7979 directory is found. Loads zero dir only if the root directory
7982 * tree.c (tree_add_entry), tree.h: The tree_add_entry function is
7983 now global instead of static (used by the my_mkdir function).
7985 * util.c (get_full_name): Now handles root directory correctly.
7986 (get_absolute_name, my_mkdir, my_rmdir): New functions to replace
7987 mkdir and rmdir. These versions update the tree figure when
7988 directories are created or destroyed.
7990 * util.h: Added my_mkdir and my_rmdir.
7992 * view.c (load_byte): Tries recover from errors. Now aborts only
7993 if the MCDEBUG macro is defined. (view): The keybar of the
7994 internal viewer is now shown regardless of the value of the
7995 keybar_visible variable.
7997 Wed Feb 8 16:41:40 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
7999 * dialog.c: Made refresh_list public.
8001 * subshell.c (feed_subshell): Initialize the subshell_prompt
8002 variable; don't read the prompt anymore, let this work to main.

8006 * file.c (recursive_erase): Removed extra free.
8008 * main.c (copy_tagged): Work on the panel, *not* the current
8010 (load_prompt): Refresh the window.
8011 (main): Added the select channel function (load_prompt).
8013 * screen.c (display_mini_info): Corrected bug just introduced
8014 yesterday. The format should have a minus.
8016 * file.c (erase_dir): In order to let the hot key work on
8017 query_dialogs, the second character must be the hotkey.
8019 * input.c (assign_text): The current_max_len is the size of the
8020 string *including* the terminating 0.
8022 Thu Feb 9 15:44:20 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
8024 * main.c (panel_event): If mouse is pressed inside the quick
8025 view panel, it doesn't show garbage any more - instead mouse
8026 is there fully functional.
8028 * view.c (view_event, real_view_event): Full mouse support
8029 in both real view and quick view causes movement in all
8032 Wed Feb 8 16:40:04 1995 Jakub Jelinek <jelinek1@jfch.vc.cvut.cz>
8034 * menu.c (quit_all_event): Releasing mouse button outside of
8035 the menu causes the menu to hide - acts like expected from the
8039 Wed Feb 8 10:27:14 1995 Thomas Pundt <pundtt@math.uni-muenster.de>
8041 * view.c (half_up): Added view_update: this fixes a problem with
8042 some versions of ncurses.
8044 Tue Feb 7 16:20:33 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8046 * subshell.c (read_subshell_prompt): Moved the code from
8047 feed_subshell here: code cleanup and reuse.
8049 made public the subshell_pty variable to let the main program use
8052 * main.c: Disable advanced chown for release 2.0.
8053 (change_view): Call switch_to_info instead of info_cmd.
8055 * find.c (find_parameters): Starting directory is current dir, as
8056 Dugan suggested in the list.
8058 * chmod.c (chmod_cmd): Shouldn't operate in modes different than a
8061 * chown.c (chown_cmd): Shouldn't operate in modes different than a
8064 * key.c (delete_select_channel, add_select_channel, check_selects,
8065 add_selects): New function to add select channels to the program.
8067 * file.c (panel_operate): Fixed bug: the confirmation prompt
8068 should be computed for marked files > 1.
8070 Wed Feb 8 02:23:52 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8072 * dir.c (do_reload_dir): New variable `tmp_len' used for an
8073 optimization of the directory-rescanning code, which is now
8074 about 30% faster :-)
8076 * subshell.c: Made zsh work properly as a subshell of MC, and
8077 fixed up the subshell-type handling generally.
8079 Mon Feb 6 17:49:36 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8081 * boxes.c (displays): The button names are now easier to
8084 * dir.c (do_load_dir, do_reload_dir), file.c (create_op_win,
8085 destroy_op_win), util.h, win.c: The create_dash and destroy_dash
8086 functions have been deleted.
8088 * layout.c (_check_split, layout_callback): Fixed two silly bugs
8089 in panel size limit checking. (create_panels, destroy_panels): The
8090 window for the rotating dash is created and destroyed here now.
8092 * win.c, layout.c, util.h: The rotate_dash function has been moved
8093 from the win.c file to the layout.c file. A new remove_dash
8094 function to remove dash when not needed anymore.
8096 * main.c (update_panels): Ctrl-r works in the tree view again.
8098 * main.c (change_panel): Can't change to quick view panel if the
8099 current file is a directory. (enter): Doesn't execute the command
8100 on the command line if there isn't a command line. Fixed the macro
8101 expansion bug (I hope). (view_cmd): Repaint the quick view panel
8102 after exiting from the real view. (copy_current_pathname,
8103 copy_other_pathname, copy_prog_name, copy_other_prog_name,
8104 copy_tagged): Don't put stuff on the command line if there is no
8105 command line. (do_nc): Remove the rotating dash on the each
8106 iteration of the main input loop.
8108 * mc.1 (Macro Substitution), user.c (expand_format): Implemented
8111 Sun Feb 5 15:12:45 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8113 * main.c (menu_mouse_cmd, menu_cmd, menu_last_selected_cmd,
8114 menu_display_cmd): Changes to allow the user to open the menu
8115 place where he clicked the mouse.
8117 * util.c (my_statfs): Changes to let the code compile even if we
8118 don't have mount information.
8120 * main.c (do_link): Changed the order for symlinking
8122 Fri Feb 3 16:26:39 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8124 * view.c (do_view_init): Removed hex_mode initialization.
8126 * win.c (create_dash): We don't want to keep the cursor in the
8129 * view.c (toggle_wrap_mode): If we toggle the wrap mode, we have
8130 to set the starting column to 0.
8132 * dir.c (do_reload_dir, do_load_dir): Do not rotate that often.
8134 * file.c (check_buttons): Use again xgetch instead of mouse_getch.
8136 * configure.in (LIBS): Fixed the problem of the configure
8140 Fri Feb 3 17:09:04 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8142 * configure: A temporary fix to get it work. Someone should take a
8143 closer look at this and fix it from the configure.in, too.
8145 * cons.saver.c: Replaced an ugly hack with a less ugly hack.
8147 * dir.c (do_load_dir, do_reload_dir), file.c (check_buttons,
8148 create_op_win, destroy_op_win): Uses new rotating dash feature.
8150 * file.c (do_file_error, query_replace): The file operation main
8151 window is no longer refreshed if the user selected abort.
8152 (copy_dir_dir, recursive_erase): The abort feature should work
8155 * key.c (mouse_getch): Now works without libgpm again.
8157 * main.h: The quit variable is volatile nowadays.
8159 * win.c, util.h (create_dash, destroy_dash, rotate_dash): New
8160 functions to show rotating dash during long operations.
8162 Thu Feb 2 15:18:10 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8164 * main.c: const-ified the status_using_* variables, to help with
8165 compile-time optimisation. Not that these variables are exactly
8166 "heavily used" or anything... ;-)
8168 (main): Moved the "handle_console (CONSOLE_INIT)" call before
8169 the init_sigchld(), so the waitpid()s in cons.handler.c don't
8170 interfere with our SIGCHLD handler.
8172 (view_other_cmd): Made it switch to the subshell (if enabled)
8173 regardless of whether screen dumps are possible or not.
8175 Fri Feb 3 17:09:04 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8177 * configure: A temporary fix to get it work. Someone should take a
8178 closer look at this and fix it from the configure.in, too.
8180 * cons.saver.c: Replaced an ugly hack with a less ugly hack.
8182 * dir.c (do_load_dir, do_reload_dir), file.c (check_buttons,
8183 create_op_win, destroy_op_win): Uses new rotating dash feature.
8185 * file.c (do_file_error, query_replace): The file operation main
8186 window is no longer refreshed if the user selected abort.
8187 (copy_dir_dir, recursive_erase): The abort feature should work
8190 * key.c (mouse_getch): Now works without libgpm again.
8192 * main.h: The quit variable is volatile nowadays.
8194 * win.c, util.h (create_dash, destroy_dash, rotate_dash): New
8195 functions to show rotating dash during long operations.
8197 Thu Feb 2 13:33:40 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8199 * key.c (mi_getch): Cleanup. If we don't HAVE_LIBGPM, set
8200 gpm_flag to 0 in a define.
8202 * help.c (show): Since now we are not using a derived window, we
8203 have to check when we go out of place.
8205 Tue Jan 31 16:30:23 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8207 * file.c (erase_dir): Check for FILE_ABORT.
8209 * main.c (enter): Fixed the command line problem.
8211 Fri Feb 3 19:01:48 1995 Midnight commander developing <rodo@earn>
8213 * achown.c: reworked, not working yet
8215 Fri Feb 3 10:48:43 1995 Midnight commander developing <rodo@earn>
8217 * chown.c: cosmetic changes - now it doesn't waste so much
8220 Wed Feb 1 17:33:16 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8222 * dlg.c (dlg_new): Changed: relative to frame set to 0, maybe this
8223 should be a parameter to dlg_new, we want a child window or not.
8224 This actually fixes the mouse disabled problem on the new file
8227 * subshell.c: Added use_subshell = 0 when no subshell support is
8228 present and removed it from subshell.h. This is needed. We
8229 can't use a const in a header file.
8231 * main.c (reread_cmd, update_panels): Update only the current
8232 panel (new flag: UP_ONLY_CURRENT).
8234 * layout.c (layout_callback): Fixed the bug I introduced
8235 previously on displaying the _output_lines variable.
8237 * main.c (done_panels): Free user_mini_status in both panels.
8239 * dir.c (alloc_dir_copy): Set initial values to dir_copy.list so
8240 that we only free those values that were actually allocated.
8241 Also, now we free those values that were allocated.
8243 Wed Feb 1 22:03:41 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8245 * subshell.c: Implemented the QUIETLY/VISIBLY argument to
8246 invoke_subshell. Made yet another fix for System V (synchronizing
8247 with the child process once the latter has opened the slave pty
8248 successfully). Removed all old references to mc_ctty. Changed
8249 pty_open_slave to be more specific about problems encountered.
8250 Plus a few minor fixes and cleanups.
8252 * screen.c (string_file_type): Added (provisional) type codes for
8253 named pipes and block and character special files.
8255 * cons.saver.h, cons.saver.c, cons.handler.c: Changes so that
8256 show_console_contents can return a range of lines anywhere on the
8257 screen, not just at the bottom. This is used by the subshell
8258 support, and will hopefully be useful later in other ways.
8260 * main.c: Made `quit' volatile because it can be changed by the
8261 SIGCHLD handler in subshell.c. Call show_console_contents and
8262 invoke_subshell with the new arguments. Trivial fixes.
8264 * layout.c (create_panels): Call show_console_contents with the
8267 Sun Jan 29 03:01:31 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8269 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Removed the MCBASH variable feature
8270 as pointless; we always want to run with the usual bash now.
8272 Wed Feb 1 16:30:17 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8274 * file.c (panel_operate): Free `temp' variable if it has been
8276 (mask_rename): Added missing return types (return FILE_ABORT on
8277 the first two returns).
8279 Wed Feb 1 02:01:45 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8281 * subshell.c: Use the screen size calculated by ncurses rather
8282 than trying to calculate it again. Also, removed a duplicated
8283 "#include <sys/ioctl.h>".
8285 * main.c (main): Moved the call to init_curses after the one to
8286 init_subshell. (init_subshell needs the terminal to be in its
8287 original mode, and init_curses puts it in raw mode.) But we still
8288 need `initscr' to be called before init_subshell, so I removed
8289 initscr from init_curses and call it just before init_subshell.
8290 Extremely ugly, I know; sorry. Do it better if you like...
8292 * layout.c (init_curses): Removed the initscr() call (see above).
8294 (change_screen_size): Call initscr() just before init_curses().
8295 Call resize_subshell() (see below).
8297 * subshell.c (resize_subshell): New function which resizes the
8298 subshell's pseudo-tty according to the values of the ncurses
8299 variables LINES and COLS.
8301 Tue Jan 31 16:30:23 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8303 * Makefile.in, file.c, newfile.c: The old `file.c' file removed and
8304 the new `newfile.c' file renamed to `file.c'.
8306 * TODO, mc.1: Fixed my email address.
8308 * file.c (previously known as newfile.c): A lot of changes and
8309 fixes in all the functions.
8311 * file.h: Added two enumerations, create_op_win, destroy_op_win,
8312 refresh_op_win, mask_rename and panel_operate. Removed
8313 copy_file_dir, erase_file, recursive_erase, move_file,
8314 move_file_dir and new_file_ops.
8316 * main.c (enter): The command line supports the user menu macros
8317 now. This makes possible to execute the same command line to
8318 multiple sets of files (by tagging the files and getting the line
8319 from the history with M-p and M-n).
8321 * main.c (unmark_file): Now works in the tree view mode.
8322 (ok_to_copy, ok_to_copy_all): Not needed anymore. (copy_cmd,
8323 ren_cmd, delete_cmd): Now use the new file operations
8324 code. (do_mask_ren_cmd): Moved to file.c and renamed to
8325 mask_rename. (mask_ren_cmd): Now calls the mask_rename function.
8326 (new_file_ops_cmd, CmdMenu): The new_file_ops_cmd function is not
8329 * tree.c (tree_copy, tree_move, rmdir_cmd): Now use the new file
8332 * util.c (get_full_name): Now strips the old path out of the
8335 Mon Jan 30 16:53:26 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8337 * main.c (main): sigchld_hanlder was only defined with subshell
8340 * configure.in (AC_NCURSES): This replaces the try_ncurses
8341 function, since some shells (Ultrix /bin/sh for example) don't
8342 understand function definitions.
8344 * main.c (do_nc): Setup must be saved before the destruction of
8345 the panels takes place.
8347 * profile.c (profile_clean_section): Fixed a bug that prevented
8348 the the last item in the section list to be saved.
8350 * setup.c: Added inode sort option
8352 * dir.c: Added inode sort option.
8354 * screen.c (string_inode): Added inode display.
8356 Mon Jan 30 14:37:30 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8358 * Makefile.in: Added newfile.c, fsusage.c and mountlist.c to SRCS.
8359 Added fsusage.h and mountlist.h to HDRS. Added newfile.o,
8360 fsusage.o and mountlist.o to OBJS. (mc.hlp, ync.hlp, mc.html):
8361 Added some missing $(srcdir)s.
8363 * configure.in, configure: Added a lot of tests from the GNU
8364 fileutils (needed by fsusage.c and mountlist.c).
8366 * file.h: Added the prototype for the new_file_ops function.
8368 * fsusage.c, fsusage.h: New files to get the filesystem space
8369 usage. Copied from the GNU fileutils. Needed by the my_statfs
8372 * mountlist.c, mountlist.h: New files to get the list of mounted
8373 filesystems. Copied from the GNU fileutils. Needed by the
8376 * main.c (parse_control_file): Now handles directories correctly
8377 when tagging or untagging. (unmark_file): Now global instead of
8378 static (needed by the new_file_ops function). (new_file_ops_cmd):
8379 New function to wrap calls to the new_file_ops function.
8380 (CmdMenu): Add the "New file operations" entry to the bottom of
8383 * main.c (paint_info_panel): Got rid of "#ifdef HAVE_STATFS". The
8384 my_statfs function uses GNU code now and it should work on all
8385 machines. The Linux and Ultrix filesystem type switch clauses
8386 aren't needed anymore (GNU code does a better job). (main): Added a
8387 call to the init_my_statfs function to initialize the list of the
8388 mounted filesystems.
8390 * menu.c (menu_handler, run_menu): The menu is now removed after
8391 the user has made his/her choice.
8393 * newfile.c: New file which will replace the file.c file in the
8394 future. Implements the new file operations.
8396 * util.c, util.h: Removed the stuff to define the WE_HAVE_STATFS
8397 macro. Removed the find_mountpoint and find_device functions.
8398 (init_my_statfs): A new function to read the list of mounted
8399 filesystems for the my_statfs function. (my_statfs): Dumped the
8400 old code. Now uses the mountlist read by the init_my_statfs
8401 function and the get_fs_usage function from the fsusage.c.
8402 Therefore it should work correctly on all machines now.
8404 Sun Jan 29 15:35:34 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8406 * main.c (init_sigchld): Use the main program sigchld handler when
8407 no subshell support is requested.
8409 * ncurses.h, configure.in: Changes to detect ncurses 1.8.6 and
8412 * main.c (main): Moved the initialization code so that Dugan can
8415 Sat Jan 28 13:30:40 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8417 * main.c (history_cmd): Free the listbox.
8419 * chmod.c (chmod_toggle_select): Use the normal color.
8421 * input.c (assign_text): The current max lenght of the string is
8422 exactly the string lenght, not +1.
8424 * main.c (history_cmd): Removed the hot key on the listbox window.
8426 * configure.in (XCURSES): Added --with-sunos-curses
8428 * ncurses.h: Updated the file to run with SunOS 4.x curses
8430 * layout.c (init_layout): Changes to include the mini status field.
8432 * option.c: Removed the show mini status option from the config
8433 dialog and added the drop down menus instead.
8435 * util.c (my_system): Removed the prepare_environement routines
8436 since it didn't work with the subshell.
8438 * main.c (do_nc): Removed the LINES checking, this must be done by
8441 Fri Jan 27 13:49:57 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8443 * main.c (tree_view_cmd): Added missing call to clean_dir.
8445 * dir.c (clean_dir): Sanity check.
8447 * main.c (change_panel): Added extra check to avoid showing a non
8448 existant entry if the view type is view_tree.
8450 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Get and set the window size only if
8451 the operating system has support for it.
8453 The Solaris Fix for subshell:
8456 Remove the loop around the pid = waitpid.
8457 Add the WNOHANG option to the waitpid.
8458 Remove the abortion code if pid <= 0.
8460 (init_subshell): On Solaris, if you close the master pty on the
8461 child, it also closes the slave side, so I removed the close
8462 (subshell_pty). I leaved nice comments in case we want to undo
8465 End of The Solaris Fix.
8467 (get_window_size): Grabbed some code from GNU's shellutils. We
8468 try first with stdout, then stdin, and finally with a user
8469 provided file descriptor (in this case, ctermid (0)).
8471 (init_subshell): Set the window size only if we could get the
8474 * view.c (move_left, move_right): Even if wrap mode is set, we
8475 have to tell the upper layers that the key was handled.
8477 * main.c (paint_quick_view_panel): Replaced long condition for
8478 is_view_file_listing.
8480 Fri Jan 27 13:40:07 1995 Thomas Pundt (pundtt@math.uni-muenster.de)
8482 * main.c (paint_quick_view_panel): "fkeys" and "view_win" are not
8483 initialized, if QuickView is activated and other_panel has not
8484 selected a regular file. This causes mc to segfault, if you press
8485 F4, before a file is selected. Added calls to view_init_windows
8486 (panel->win_file, fkeys).
8488 * view.c (load_view_file): Added missing strdups of string
8491 * view.c (do_view_init): If we are displaying an error message in
8492 the quick view panel, we also need to initialize the bytes_read
8493 variable, not only the s.st_size field.
8495 * view.c (view_init_windows): New function to setup the view_win
8496 and fkeys variables, called from main for the quick view stuff.
8498 * view.c (view_status): If filename is not set, then avoid the
8501 Fri Jan 27 16:43:38 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8503 * main.c (sigchld_handler): Several corrections. Fixed stupid
8504 mental typo of writing "handle_console" instead of "console_flag".
8506 * screen.c (parse_display_format): There was a division by the
8507 variable `field' which looped from 0 to (fields-1), provoking
8508 an FPE on the first iteration. Replaced `field' by `fields',
8509 which I think is what was intended.
8511 Fri Jan 27 15:21:09 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8513 * cons.handler.c (show_console_contents): Oops, I forgot to clear
8516 * layout.c (layout_callback, create_panels): Now there are minimum
8517 and maximum limit for the number of output lines.
8519 * main.c (sigchld_handler): Fixed a silly bug.
8521 Thu Jan 26 12:37:40 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8523 * subshell.c: include sys/ioctl.h on 4.3 BSD systems for the
8524 TIOCGWINSZ constant.
8526 * main.c (ok_to_copy_all): Set the abort flag before returning. I
8527 wonder how I could put the return before the assignment?
8529 * menu.c (query_dialog): We don't use menu's query_dialog anymore,
8530 now the query_dialog routine is the one written by Radek found in
8533 (run_bar): We don't use derwin any longer, we now require the
8534 parent to provide a suitable window to draw on. Since this
8535 routine is only used by the main program menu, I wonder if we
8536 should just simple create this window here.
8538 * wtools.c (query_dialog): Compute correctly the number of columns
8539 needed for the query box.
8541 * main.c (menu_display_cmd): Create the window to be used in run
8544 * dialog.c, dialog.h (create_dialog): Now dialogs only use one
8545 window, we don't use anymore the derwin call. Getting rid of the
8546 derwin call will let us run with BSD curses (I hope).
8548 (input_dialog): Adjust the area of display to conform to the new
8551 (create_dialog): Adjust my_wputs.
8553 * tree.c (show_tree): Adjust the display routines.
8555 * help.c (show): Adjust the display routines.
8557 * configure.in: Renamed --with-aixcc option to --with-mmap.
8559 * main.c (untouch_bar): Call only_refresh_screen.
8561 (only_refresh_screen): Now takes a boolean to determine if the
8562 panels are being refreshed.
8564 * help.c (interactive_display): Added missing call to
8567 * layout.c (destroy_panels): Changed pop events for pop_frame.
8569 Thu Jan 26 12:56:04 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8571 * cons.handler.h: New file, to allow cons.handler.c to export
8572 the `cons_saver_pid' variable (which used to be called `child')
8574 * cons.handler.c, cons.saver.c, cons.saver.h: Changed type of
8575 console_flag from 'int' to 'signed char', so that the various
8576 write (cmd_output, &console_flag, 1) calls will work even on the
8577 big-endian machines to which Linux will one day be ported ;-)
8579 * vfs.h: Added 'const' to prototypes where appropriate.
8581 * main.c (version): Polished the version message slightly.
8582 Corrected the new sigchld_handler function a little.
8584 * subshell.c: Improved the sigchld_handler function.
8586 Thu Jan 26 14:36:54 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8588 * Makefile.in: cons.saver depends on cons.saver.o.
8590 * boxes.c (display_callback): The 'm' key no longer jumps to user
8591 mini status input field.
8593 * cons.handler.c (show_console_contents): New function to show
8594 output with the help of cons.saver.
8596 * cons.saver.c (send_contents): New function to send the contents
8597 of the console screen to the parent process.
8599 * cons.saver.h: A new message CONSOLE_CONTENTS to request the
8600 contents of console screen. Added prototype for show_console_contents.
8602 * dlg.c (destroy_dlg): I finally fixed the mystic bug. The
8603 destroy_dlg function was starting the loop from the second item
8604 instead of the first item.
8606 * layout.c (bplus_cback *new*, bminus_cback *new*,
8607 layout_callback, init_layout, layout_cmd, create_panels,
8608 destroy_panels), layout.h, main.c (do_execute, repaint_screen,
8609 only_refresh_screen, refresh_screen), setup.c (layout): Now
8610 supports defining a output window. You need the new cons.saver for
8611 this (remember to type "make install.saver").
8613 * layout.c (init_curses *new*, create_panels, destroy_panels,
8614 change_screen_size), layout.h, main.c (main): Workarounds for
8615 ncurses bugs. The initscr function is called only when really needed.
8617 * main.c (select_item), screen.c (init_panel): Small bug fix
8618 related to the long view.
8620 * main.c (switch_to_info): No longer rejects second switch to the
8621 info mode (needed by layout stuff).
8623 * option.c (check_options): Removed the hotkey of the advanced
8626 * util.c (my_putenv): Removed the free command and added some
8627 warnings to prevent others from adding it back (sorry Miguel).
8629 Wed Jan 25 13:05:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8631 * main.c (goto_bottom_file, goto_top_file, goto_middle_file,
8632 mark_file, copy_other_pathname, copy_prog_name,
8633 copy_other_prog_name): Added checks so that they don't work when
8634 quick or info modes are selected.
8636 (try_to_select): Changed call to SELECT_ITEM for a call to
8637 select_item, this should keep the info and quick view modes in
8638 sync. If the users experiment a terrible slow down, then this
8641 * view.c (check_left_right_keys): Only allow horizontal scrolling
8642 if the wrap mode is not toggled on.
8644 (do_view_init): Now, the error message from loading a file is
8645 displayed here. It is only displayed in a message box if we are
8646 the real view and not the quick one.
8648 (load_view_file): Now we guarantee that data has always data.
8649 Thus on quick view, the keys will actually be checked correctly,
8650 and the only information displayed on the quick view panel will be
8653 (load_view_file): Added missing close.
8655 (view_update, move_forward2, move_backward2, move_to_top,
8656 move_to_bottom, move_right, move_left, goto_line, regexp_search,
8657 normal_search): if there is no data loaded, don't do anything
8659 Wed Jan 25 18:22:09 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8661 * boxes.c: display_callback, display_init, display_box), panel.h,
8662 screen.c (repaint_file, display_mini_info, do_init_panel), setup.c
8663 (panel_save, panel_load): Now it is possible to define user format
8664 for the mini status line, too.
8666 * dlg.c (destroy_dlg): Another workaround for the mystic bug to
8667 get the Electric Fence working. I hope someone fixes this bug soon.
8669 * file.c (move_file, move_dir_dir): Now show a message box so that
8670 the user knows we are moving files. The move_dir_dir is now more
8673 * layout.c: Replaced hardcoded values 20 and 5 with MINWIDTH and
8674 MINHEIGHT. MINWIDTH is now 10 instead of 20.
8676 * setup.c (save_setup): Swapped save_configure with save_layout.
8677 Let's see if this it has any effect.
8679 * view.c (free_file): Uses different method for checking errors.
8680 No broken pipes anymore. (load_view_file): Oops, the s.st_size was
8681 not initialized in case of compressed files.
8683 * view.c (load_view_file, view_labels, change_viewer *new*,
8684 create_windows): New Raw/Gunzip button: now the compressed files
8685 can be viewed both as raw data and as uncompressed data.
8687 * zip.c (get_small_endian_long): Now handles eof correctly.
8688 (is_gunzipable): Now reports only deflated or stored zip files as
8691 Tue Jan 24 16:34:13 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8693 * layout.c (create_panels): Push a missing frame.
8695 * main.c (main): Remove unused events at program end.
8697 * util.c (my_putenv): Release the unused memory.
8699 * main.c (do_possible_cd): Now it paints the panel as all the
8700 other cd routines and selects the item.
8702 (maybe_cd): if it's the left key, then go up one directory.
8704 Tue Jan 24 12:32:14 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8706 * file.c (erase_dir): Slight changes to the confirmation box for
8707 recursively deleting directories.
8709 * main.c (main): Removed a repeated initialization of home_dir.
8711 Mon Jan 23 14:45:34 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8713 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Removed the `shell_name' variable
8714 and all references to it, and used `shell' from main.c instead.
8716 (init_subshell): Now we install the SIGCHLD handler here and
8717 leave it active all the time until MC exits, instead of enabling
8718 it only during execution of the subshell functions. This seems
8719 to make MC hang less frequently, but unfortunately it will still
8720 hang if you try hard enough (by holding down C-o a lot).
8722 Sun Jan 22 20:48:57 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8724 * main.c (main): Warn user if we can't start up the subshell.
8725 Also, tentatively added putchar ('\r') at the end of main(),
8726 to make the user's shell write its prompt starting in column 0
8727 after MC has terminated.
8729 * subshell.c (sigchld_handler): Moved the message about using
8730 the old command execution method from here to main().
8732 Tue Jan 24 12:25:44 1995 Thomas Pundt <pundtt@math.uni-muenster.de>
8734 * view.c (create_windows): Moved the push_frame from: before the
8735 push_events to just after the wattron. The problem is, that not
8736 all mouse events are popped off the stack, because the new frame
8739 Tue Jan 24 11:35:01 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8741 * file.c (copy_file_file): Now copies symbolic links correctly (as
8742 defined by Dugan). (move_file): Dumped the code based on a system
8743 call and copied the code from mv.c in GNU fileutils-3.12.
8744 (move_file_dir): Dumped the old version and copied the code from
8747 * main.c: The init_entry function removed. (parse_control_file,
8748 action, enter, tree_leave): Small changes in the handling of cd
8749 command. (ok_to_copy): Now pressing ESC or F10 works
8750 correctly. (swap_cmd): Windows are moved instead of swapping. Now
8751 compatible with layout feature. (paint_info_panel): The code has
8752 been turned upside-down to support leaving out the lines which
8755 * panel.h: The win_mini field wasn't used for anything.
8757 * view.c (do_view_init, view): The initialization of the start_col
8758 variable belongs to the do_view_init function. (display,
8759 move_right, move_left): Small fixes to the left/right movement.
8760 (view): Added a workaround for a NCurses bug.
8762 Mon Jan 23 19:00:15 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
8764 * mouse.c (mouse_push_event): Now, we return the event pointer,
8765 needed for changing the event parameters of the panels on a
8768 Mon Jan 23 15:43:49 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8770 * dialog.c (input_dialog): The in variable was used after it was
8773 * dlg.c (destroy_dlg): Added a workaround for the widget list bug.
8774 This is just a temporary fix. Let's hope the bug gets really fixed
8777 * layout.c (create_panels, destroy_panels): Now create and destroy
8778 all the curses windows of the main screen. (flag_winch,
8779 change_screen_size): Now they work correctly.
8781 * main.c: The current_panel, other_panel, menubar_win,
8782 cmdline_win, fkeys and clean_screen variables are initialized to
8783 NULL in order to help catching the bugs. The cmdline, prompt and
8784 clean_screen variables are now global. The contents of init_entry
8785 function are moved to the create_panels function (maybe the whole
8786 function can now be removed). Part of the init_menu function moved
8787 to create_panels function. The init_labels function calls now the
8788 change_labels function. (do_nc, main): Some reorganization to get
8789 along with the more thorough behaviour of the create_panels and
8790 destroy_panels functions.
8792 * main.c (paint_quick_view_panel), view.c (display): Quick view no
8793 longer flashes when holding an arrow key down.
8795 * setup.c (load_setup): The call to the meta function moved to the
8798 * util.c (close_error_pipe): Now it is possible to tell
8799 close_error_pipe to ignore the message in the pipe (needed by
8802 * view.c: Reorganized to use the same kind of folding as Dugan
8803 uses in the subshell.c. (free_file, get_byte, load_view_file,
8804 search, regexp_search, normal_search): Changes to support loading
8805 file in parts when mmap can't be used. (load_byte): New function
8806 to implement loading in parts. (do_view_init): Small bug fixes.
8808 Sun Jan 22 12:10:03 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8810 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Introduced a new symbolic constant
8811 FORK_FAILURE, used as an exit code to indicate failure to start up
8812 the subshell, to that the sigchld handler can distinguish that
8813 case from when the user exits the subshell voluntarily.
8815 (feed_subshell): Never call `select' without checking that the
8816 subshell is alive is TRUE; this prevents MC from locking up so
8817 often. Also, capture the subshell's prompt regardless of
8818 whether the `how' parameter is QUIETLY or VISIBLY.
8820 (sigchld_handler): Check the subshell's exit code to find out
8821 whether the user exited or we simply failed to fork the subshell.
8823 (pty_open_slave): Temporarily commented out the calls to chown()
8824 and chmod(), to fix the /dev/tty?? permissions problem.
8826 Sat Jan 21 14:15:29 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8828 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Replaced the multi-branched if
8829 statements with switches, to accommodate future subshell types.
8831 Thu Jan 19 11:27:02 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8833 * Makefile.in: Added cons.saver to the `all' target, and
8834 install.saver to the `install' target. Plus minor cleanups.
8836 Sat Jan 14 08:41:07 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8838 * main.c (quit_cmd): Added a call to exit_subshell.
8840 * subshell.c (feed_subshell): Fixed a prompt-capturing bug, by
8841 moving the declaration of prompt_pos closer to its point of use.
8843 (feed_subshell): Added a nasty temporary hack to make MC wait for
8844 the subshell's prompt for an extra second the first time through,
8845 to allow time for the shell's init file to run.
8847 Fri Jan 13 12:17:43 1995 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
8849 * main.c (suspend_cmd): The screen contents weren't being saved
8850 properly after returning to MC, because ncurses was re-drawing
8851 the screen instantly, before the call to handle_console. Fixed
8852 by swapping out ncurses' SIGTSTP handler briefly.
8854 (view_other_cmd): Made MC update its prompt from the subshell's.
8856 * util.c: Made startup_handler global so it can be accessed from
8857 main.c. It would perhaps be better to put everything to do with
8858 signals in a file "signals.c", and also re-organize MC's entire
8859 source file structure while we're at it. Some other time...
8861 * main.c (pre_exec, post_exec): Removed the calls to
8862 handle_console, so that suspend_cmd can call pre_exec and
8863 post_exec without saving the screen contents, if it wants to.
8865 Sun Jan 22 18:11:58 1995 "Sinolits Vadim vvs@nsrd.npi.msu.su
8867 * view.c (move_left, move_right, check_left_right_keys): Added
8870 Thu Jan 19 11:06:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza (miguel@roxanne)
8872 * layout.c (change_screen_size), main.c (do_nc): compile the
8873 window size change functions only if the system provides them.
8875 Thu Jan 19 14:57:14 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8877 * input.c (update_input): Now supports 8bit clean mode.
8879 * key.c (getch_with_delay): New function to work around System V
8880 Curses vt100 bug. (mi_getch): Now uses getch_with_delay.
8882 Wed Jan 18 13:40:14 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8884 * layout.c: The check_split function divided to two versions:
8885 _check_split and check_split. Now cancel button really cancels all
8886 the changes, not just some of them. Added support for horizontal
8889 * layout.c (flag_winch, change_screen_size), layout.h: New
8890 functions for handling of the WINCH signal. Now, how can we get
8891 curses to realize the change in the screen size?
8893 * main.c (do_nc): Now handles the WINCH signal.
8895 * main.c (select_item): Changes for horizontal splitting.
8897 * main.c (init_entry, repaint_screen, only_refresh_screen,
8898 refresh_screen, quick_view_key, init_menu): Changes to support
8899 menubar_visible, command_prompt and keybar_visible toggles.
8901 * main.c (enter, change_view): Small fixes.
8903 * screen.c (do_init_panel): Fixed the missing titles bug.
8905 Tue Jan 17 11:04:24 1995 Miguel de Icaza (miguel@roxanne)
8907 * util.c (strcasecmp): Fix strcasecmp.
8909 * option.c (init_configure): The correct index is 10, not 9 after
8910 adding the new advanced chown option to the dialog box.
8912 Tue Jan 17 18:12:03 1995 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@paju)
8914 * Makefile.in: Added layout.c to SRCS, layout.h to HDRS and
8917 * hotlist.c: The sf_stat variable isn't needed.
8919 * hotlist.c (add2hotlist_cmd), hotlist.h, main.c (ctl_x_map): The
8920 hotkey for adding a directory to the hotlist is back!
8922 * layout.c: A new file for changing the panel widths and other
8923 things like that on the fly.
8925 * main.c (panel_event, menu_bar_event, change_view), panel.h: Now
8926 global instead of static (needed by layout.c).
8928 * main.c (init_panels, done_panels, do_nc): Window and mouse
8929 handling code moved to layout.c in the create_panels and
8930 destroy_panels functions. The do_init_panel function is now used
8931 instead of init_panel.
8933 * main.c (change_labels, repaint_screen, only_refresh_screen,
8934 refresh_screen, default_key, init_labels), view.c (view_refresh,
8935 create_windows, view), win.c (set_label_text): Command prompt and
8936 function key bar might not exist.
8938 * main.c (change_panel, paint_quick_view_panel, quick_view_cmd,
8939 change_view): Miscellaneous changes to make sure we are always in
8940 the right directory.
8942 * main.c (do_mark_file), screen.c (display_mini_info): No
8943 hardwired panel widths like "COLS/2-2" anymore.
8945 * main.c (paint_quick_view_panel), view.c (view_init, view_status,
8946 display, create_windows), view.h: Quick view has now a frame
8947 (sorry about this, Torben).
8949 * main.c (quick_view_key, tree_view_cmd), view.c (view):
8952 * option.c (check_options): Now static. Fixed the hotkey of
8953 advanced chown. (configure_box): Now the save button saves only
8954 the settings of this dialog. Use the save setup command to save
8957 * screen.c (do_init_panel, init_panel): The init_panel function
8958 now initializes only the things related to the size and positions
8959 of the panel. Other stuff moved to the new do_init_panel function.
8961 * setup.c, setup.h: New functions: save_layout, load_layout and
8962 save_configure. The configure and layout dialogs save now only
8963 their own settings. Use save setup command to save the whole
8964 setup. (save_setup, load_setup): Changes related to the addition of
8965 save_layout, load_layout and save_configure.
8967 * view.c (load_view_file, view_update, view_check_key): A lot of
8968 error messages and problems are skipped or ignored when in quick
8969 view mode. (do_view_init): hex_mode and wrap_mode are no longer
8970 reinitialized in the quick view mode.
8972 * win.c (wprint_bytesize): Outputs now always seven characters to
8973 make justifying easier.
8975 Mon Jan 16 19:22:27 1995 Miguel de Icaza (miguel@roxanne)
8977 * util.c (tilde_expand): Small bug fix: strdup the home_dir.
8979 Sat Jan 14 13:46:10 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt10>
8981 * main.c (parse_control_file): Small changes in handling of the cd
8984 * main.c (change_labels, change_panel, key_f2_cmd, key_f3_cmd,
8985 key_f4_cmd, paint_quick_view_panel, quick_view_key, init_labels),
8986 screen.c (init_panel): Changes for the quick view mode.
8988 * main.c (key_f5_cmd, key_f6_cmd, key_f7_cmd, key_f8_cmd): New
8989 functions for the quick view mode.
8991 * view.c: Reorganized. A lot of changes to support quick view
8994 * view.h: Added view_init, view_update, view_labels,
8995 toggle_wrap_mode, toggle_hex_mode, goto_line, regexp_search,
8996 normal_search and view_check_key to support quick view feature.
8998 * main.c (dummy): Deleted as unnecessary.
9000 * main.c (tree_leave), tree.c (tree_done, tree), tree.h: The
9001 tree_done function deleted as unnecessary.
9003 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Opening fifo as O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY
9004 causes deadlock. Now uses O_RDWR instead. Replaced getenv ("HOME")
9005 with the home_dir variable.
9007 Fri Jan 13 12:55:42 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9009 * find.c (do_search): strcpy the string only if the returned value
9012 Fri Jan 13 15:33:09 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9014 * find.c (find_parameters): Now you can use tree for specifying
9017 * main.c (change_labels, key_f4_cmd), tree.c (toggle_nav_mode,
9018 win_init), tree.h: In tree mode the label of the F4 key is changed
9019 between "static" and "dynamic".
9021 * tree.c (set_navig_label): New function for changing the label of
9022 the F4 key in the tree mode.
9024 * mc.1 (Directory tree): Updated.
9026 Thu Jan 12 17:15:21 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9028 * widget.c (input_callback): Ugly hack to avoid update_input clear
9029 the first field of the Input* structure when used for displaying
9032 * find.c (start_stop): Changed the moving dot for a nice rotating
9033 dash. Should change this for a rotating fish.
9035 * widget.c (listbox_draw): When painting listboxes, display at
9036 most the size that would fit in the listbox (obvious problem with
9039 * find.c (do_find): Free the dirname and filename only if they
9042 * widget.c (listbox_get_current): Set decent values even if the
9045 * option.c (configure_box): Sync the profiles after saving the
9046 setup if the Save button was selected.
9048 * tree.c: renamed search_buffer to search_buffer_tree, in order to
9049 let the program link/compile under AIX with c6000. BTW, Janne,
9050 could we share the search_buffer with main?
9052 * subshell.c, view.c, key.c, gpm-xterm.c, util.c: check for AIX,
9053 _AIX and __aix__ macros.
9055 * main.c (do_nc): Now, we sync the profiles, but save the setup
9056 only if requested. The net result is that now we save the hotlist
9057 automagically even if the setup is not saved/changed. This from a
9058 couple of comments from Janne and Dugan on the list.
9060 * setup.c (save_setup): Save setup doesn't sync the profiles.
9062 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Adapted Janne's patch of shell =
9063 getenv ("SHELL") to new Dugan's code. Let's hope Dugan will send
9064 me the ChangeLog entries for his last subshell code.
9066 Thu Jan 12 14:00:29 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9068 * main.c (index_by_name, select_by_index, parse_control_file),
9069 util.c (my_putenv, my_putenv_expand, prepare_environment): New
9070 functions for the control file support.
9072 * main.c (do_execute), main.h, util.c (my_system), util.h: Changes
9073 for the control file support.
9075 * main.c (execute, handle_args), main.h, subshell.c
9076 (init_subshell), util.c (my_system): The value of shell variable
9077 is now calculated only once in one place instead of dozens of
9080 * main.c (ITEMS, panel_event, move_left, move_right,
9081 copy_current_pathname, copy_other_pathname, copy_prog_name,
9082 copy_other_prog_name, copy_tagged, copy_other_tagged), user.c
9083 (expand_format): Fixed bugs and problems caused by addition the
9086 * main.c (handle_args): Reports if the TERM variable is
9087 unset. (main): The error messages are no longer wiped out from the
9088 screen by cons.saver.
9090 * mc.1 (Executing operating system commands): Documented the
9091 control file feature.
9093 * tree.c (tree_rescan_cmd): Someone had changed it to use the
9094 get_current_wd function and forgot to test whether it works
9095 after such change. Now fixed.
9097 * util.c (load_file): Now more robust.
9099 Wed Jan 11 18:36:59 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9101 * widget.c (listbox_get_current): New function for retrieving the
9102 data from the listbox.
9104 (button_set_text): New function to change the label of a button.
9106 (listbox_add_item): Now we return the value of the strduped string.
9108 * find.c: Many changes and fixes, the find feature is not yet ready.
9110 * widget.c (input_callback): Enter gives the focus to the next
9113 (listbox_select_last): Selects the last entry in the listbox.
9115 Wed Jan 11 15:08:12 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9117 * Makefile.in (mc.html): New target which produces html version of
9120 * boxes.c (display_callback, display_init), main.c (select_item,
9121 change_panel, action, panel_event, move_left, move_right,
9122 paint_info_panel, switch_to_info, change_view,
9123 copy_other_pathname, copy_other_prog_name, copy_other_tagged,
9124 do_nc), panel.h, screen.c (display_mini_info, paint_dir,
9125 paint_panel, init_panel), setup.c (load_setup), user.c
9126 (expand_format, test_condition): Preliminary changes to support
9129 * main.c (paint_quick_view_panel, dummy, quick_view_key,
9130 quick_view_cmd): New functions for preliminary support for quick
9133 * ext.c (regex_command), mc.ext, mc.menu, user.c (user_menu_cmd),
9134 user.h: Now supports local shell_patterns settings.
9136 * user.c (check_patterns): New function to support local
9137 shell_patterns settings.
9139 * main.c (ITEMS, panel_event): Now works correctly with user
9140 formats like "half 2 ..." and "full 2 ...".
9142 * main.c (panel_event): Now works correctly user formats like
9145 * main.c (paint_info_panel): Unsignificant bug fixes.
9147 * man2hlp.c: Now can produce HTML format output in addition to HLP
9150 * mc.1: Fixes so that man2hlp can produce correct HTML
9151 output. (Extension File Edit, Menu File Edit): Updated to mention
9152 local shell_patterns setting. (Menu File Edit): Mentions now
9153 combined default and addition conditions. Cleared out the
9154 explanation of the calculation order of conditions. (SEE ALSO):
9157 * menu.c (get_motion): Now you can drop menu with the down key
9158 like in the Norton Commander.
9160 * user.c (user_menu_cmd): Now supports combined addition and
9163 Wed Jan 11 15:08:12 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9165 * Makefile.in (mc.html): New target which produces html version of
9168 * boxes.c (display_callback, display_init), main.c (select_item,
9169 change_panel, action, panel_event, move_left, move_right,

9297 * main.c (maybe_cd, move_left, move_right): Used to navigate
9298 with the arrow keys, like the Lynx program. Need to turn the
9299 navigate_with_arrows setting in the .mc.ini file.
9301 * find.c (do_find): Complete rewrote of the find command.
9303 * ext.c (exec_extension): If the users aborts an input_dialog,
9304 then return value is 0. It's ok for the user to accept an empty

9323 Sat Jan 7 18:51:10 1995 Radek Doulik <rodo@RoDo-Station>
9325 * chown.h, chown.c (init_chown): One more bug fixed. Use
9326 single_set variable to decide, why use only two buttons.
9328 Fri Jan 6 13:55:03 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9330 * chmod.c (chmod_cmd): We have to destroy the complete dialog
9331 completely each time, since we keep running the dialog and it
9332 keeps pushing relevant data. We may need to split the run_dlg
9335 * chown.c (chown_cmd): Same as chmod.c
9337 * dialog.c (push_refresh): Now the program should refresh the
9338 complete screen if the fast_refresh setting is set to 0, else it
9339 stands for the default behavior.
9341 Thu Jan 5 11:36:34 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9343 * main.c (sort_cmd): When changing sort orders, and you ask for
9344 unsorted, it has to reload the directory in order for the list to
9345 be unsorted. A shame all the complexity needed.
9347 (copy_cmd): If there is an error during the copy process, the copy
9350 * screen.c (repaint_file): Now it's able to trunc the field name
9351 taking care of justification.

9356 * file.c (erase_dir): Don't allow removal of "." or ".." directories.
9358 * main.c (do_nc): Returns status of initialization, so we call
9359 endwin only if the program ran successfully.
9361 Thu Jan 5 14:34:36 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9363 * ChangeLog: Run through ispell and other small fixes.
9365 * file.c (move_file), view.c (load_view_file): Now file moving and
9366 compressed file viewing works also with filenames like "*(#&$%@}?>".
9367 The only disallowed characters are "\000", "/" and "'".
9369 * hotlist.c: No need to include chmod.h.
9371 * main.c (do_mask_ren_cmd): Query for confirmation has now two new
9372 choices: All and Cancel. Esc and F10 work now as expected.
9374 * tree.c (tree_move_to_child): Directory is rescanned only if it
9375 has no known children (as requested by Dugan).
9377 * win.c (set_label_text): If screen has too few columns leaves out
9378 those labels which don't fit. Avoids printing in bottomright

9399 Iterator functions for the profile manager.
9401 * widget.c (listbox_draw): Use a different set of colors if the
9402 listbox is focused or not.
9404 (button_callback, button_new): Allow the user to specify a
9405 callback function for a button, in which case, we don't abort the
9406 execution of the dialog.
9408 (listbox_key): Report event as handled on both key up and key down.
9410 * hotlist.c (hotlist_callback): Moved the redraw code to the
9411 switch DLG_DRAW case.
9413 (init_hotlist): Changed to use the new color scheme.
9415 Wed Jan 4 16:24:14 1995 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9417 * Makefile.in: Added hotlist.c to SRCS, hotlist.h to HDRS and
9420 * chmod.c: SGI also needs the umode_t define.
9422 * hotlist.c: New file which implements directory hotlist
9423 feature. Most of its code is copied from chown.c or moved from
9426 * hotlist.h: New file.
9428 * main.c: Now includes hotlist.h. (add2hotlist, load_hotlist,
9429 save_hotlist and add2hotlist_cmd): Moved to
9430 hotlist.c. (quick_chdir): Calls the new hotlist_cmd function
9431 instead of creating a listbox of its own. (CmdMenu): "Add to
9432 hotlist" removed from the Command menu. (ctl_x_map): Keyboard

9439 * screen.c (paint_frame): Trunc the header size to the computed size.
9441 * wtools.c (run_listbox): Fixed memory leak. Free the Listbox
9442 structure. The MAD system is a great tool. Don't develop without
9445 * color.c: New color entries for dnormal, dfocus, dhotfocus and
9448 * boxes.c (init_box_colors), chown.c, chmod.c: Use new color
9449 scheme for dialog boxes.

9454 Mon Jan 2 14:07:42 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9456 * main.c (ren_cmd): If we detect an '*' or an '?' in the rename
9457 command, we invoke the mask rename command written by Janne.
9459 (ok_to_copy_all): Now also let's the user abort with escape.
9461 (copy_cmd): Added support for aborting a copy.
9463 * file.c (copy_file_file): Changed exit address to ret3 when the
9464 dialog has been inserted. This fixes another problem with pop
9467 Sun Jan 1 19:27:05 1995 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9469 * subshell.c (invoke_subshell): Now takes two extra setable
9470 parameters: new_dir and msg. new_dir is used to return the new
9471 working dir if it changed and msg is used to return an informative
9472 message back to the calling routine.
9474 * screen.c (parse_display_format): Added handling for left and
9475 right justification.
9477 (repaint_file): Added support for justification modes.
9479 Sat Dec 31 13:41:54 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9481 * input.c (create_input): current_max_len must be set to the
9482 maximum of the field_length and the user provided initial text.
9484 * menu.c (run_bar): Initialize abort variable.
9486 * screen.c (init_panel): Assign user_format only if it doesn't
9487 have a value set, this should not happen.

9492 * screen.c (repaint_file): On fields that are not the file name
9493 field "cut" the leftmost characters when limiting the string

9498 Fri Dec 30 14:07:56 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9500 * subshell.c (pty_open_master, pty_open_slave): New functions to
9501 open the slave and master sides of a pty. They work on both BSD
9502 and SystemV machines.
9504 * main.c (filter_cmd): Fix: use the correct regexp on the filter
9507 * screen.c (string_marked): new display function "mark", returns
9508 an asterisk if the file is marked or a space if it's not.
9510 * terminfo/linux.ti: When compiling also generate the console
9513 * util.c (string_perm): Changed position and character string for
9514 sticky directories (was [0] -> i now is [9] -> t).
9516 * profile.c (is_loaded): Bug fixing: return load status and the
9519 (GetSetProfileChar): Added a missing return this caused the long
9520 initialization files problem.
9522 * key.c (is_abort_char, is_quit_char): New functions, not yet
9523 used. Should be used to test for abort/escape conditions.
9525 * setup.c (load_setup): Do the setup even if there is no init file.
9527 * screen.c (parse_display_format): Don't let the display format
9528 use more space than the available. Not very nice fix.
9530 (init_panel): Set a default user format.
9532 * boxes.c (display_callback): If the user uses the 'u' key, now we
9533 set the focus to the user format input field.
9535 * file.c (copy_dir_dir): Added missing closedir.
9537 (recursive_erase): Added missing destroy_dialog this should fix
9538 the mouse missing mouse pop event.
9540 Fri Dec 30 01:36:24 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9542 * util.c (strip_ctrl_codes): New function: removes the control
9543 sequences from its argument string.
9545 * main.c: Made some local variables and functions `static'.
9547 (do_nc, set_new_prompt): Call the new function `strip_ctrl_codes'
9548 to remove the control sequences from bash's prompt.
9550 Fri Dec 30 14:08:33 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
9552 * cons.handler.c (handle_console): Checks that the cons.saver
9553 process is still running by sending cont signal everytime before
9554 communicating with it (as requested by Dugan). Added comments.
9556 * cons.saver.c: Code clean-up and comment adding. (tty_getsize):
9557 Simplified the code based on the fact that tty is console.
9559 * help.c (interactive_display), tree.c (tree): Doesn't seg-fault
9560 anymore if screen has less than 22 rows. Now the minimum limit for
9561 the screen size is the number of lines in File menu.
9563 * main.c (handle_args): Gives an error message instead of
9564 seg-faulting if the TERM variable is unset.
9566 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Now supports also tcsh and zsh
9567 shells in addition to bash. FIXME: The tcsh support leaves an
9568 extra fifo in the /tmp directory.
9570 * tree.c (show_tree): I hope it finally does the name truncation
9571 correctly. It should now work up to 32 levels of subdirectories.

9585 * panel.h (PANEL_ISVIEW): Added missing call new view to
9586 PANEL_ISVIEW, this caused the problem of not reloading the user
9589 * screen.c (panel_reload): Added a missing return after
9590 tree_rescan_cmd and paint_panel. Tree views don't need all the
9593 * util.c (get_current_wd): system independent get wd function.
9595 * find.c, main.c, screen.c, tree.c: replace ifdef code for calling
9596 getwd/getcwd for a call to a new function in util.c
9598 * screen.c (paint_dir): Paint directory only if the panel is not a
9601 * util.c (name_trunc): Truncate correctly when the field is odd.
9603 * view.c (do_view): Scroll by half pages with mouse clicks instead
9604 of one line at a time.
9606 * xterm.ti: added a base xterm-base class for both xterm and xterm
9607 color. xterm now adds support for the sgr and sgr0 capabilities.
9608 This fixes the display problems with ncurses when changing
9611 We still need to make this work with the Linux console.
9613 * setup.c, main.c (panel_event): mouse_move_pages, new setting
9614 that let's the user specify which kind of movement should be done
9615 when clicking on the top or the bottom of the panels.
9617 Thu Dec 29 03:08:01 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9619 * util.c (my_system): Restore the signal mask after finishing.
9621 * main.c (main): Simplified the print_last_wd handling slightly.
9623 Wed Dec 28 14:00:05 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9625 * main.c (do_nc): Set the correct prompt even when we have
9626 subshell support and have it disabled.
9628 * screen.c (repaint_file): Small bug fix: use name trunc :-).
9630 * input.c (update_input): Display control chars as a dot.
9632 Wed Dec 28 13:47:13 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9634 * main.c (menu_edit_cmd): Fixed incorrect `count' argument to
9635 `query_dialog' (was 3, now 2). This was corrupting the screen.
9637 * util.c (msglen): Fixed a bug which was causing all the message
9638 boxes to be one column too wide, by adding an `else' to the loop.
9640 Tue Dec 27 20:48:13 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9642 * subshell.c (invoke_subshell): restart the subshell if it is
9643 killed by a signal while performing the user's command.
9645 (feed_subshell): don't exit if we get an I/O error reading from
9646 the pseudoterminal; this error sometimes occurs just after the
9647 shell has died, before we get a chance to restart it.
9649 * main.c (do_execute, view_other_cmd): don't restart the subshell
9650 with `init_subshell' if `invoke_subshell' fails; this is now done
9651 in subshell.c instead.
9653 Mon Dec 26 12:47:40 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9655 * setup.c (panel_save, panel_load): Load and save the user defined
9658 * main.c: got rid of the long_cmd and brief_cmd.
9660 Changed the menus to use the new display_cmd for configuring the
9661 display instead of the old menuing code.
9663 * screen.c (set_panel_format): New function: used to change the
9664 format display of a panel.
9666 * user.c, main.c, setup.c, screen.c, panel.h: Got rid of the
9667 obsolete VIEW_DISABLED constant and all its uses.
9669 * screen.c: Added new display type: space.
9671 * boxes.c: New file. Contains misc dialog boxes to be used by the
9674 * widget.c (input_callback): Handles the ESC and F10 keys, as well
9675 as the FOCUS and UNFOCUS commands.
9677 * chown.c (init_chown), option.c (init_configure), chmod.c
9678 (init_chmod): Use the centerwin routine.
9680 * win.h (centerwin): New wonderful macro to get centered windows.
9682 Sun Dec 25 15:26:05 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9684 * auto.c, chmod.c, chown.c, dir.c, main.c, mouse.c, gpm-xterm.c,
9685 option.c, subshell.c, util.c, view.c: Fix to the header files to
9686 include unistd.h only if available.
9688 It seems that sys/types.h is present even if unistd.h is not.
9689 Check this in all the ported architectures.
9691 Sat Dec 24 18:07:24 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9693 * subshell.c: Numerous changes to implement capturing of bash's
9694 prompt for use on the MC command line.
9696 Fri Dec 23 01:34:48 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9698 * main.c: Added hotkey entries on the File menu for Link, Symlink
9699 and Mask Rename, and on the Command menu for "Add to hotlist".

9703 * screen.c (parse_display_format, parse_panel_size): New functions
9704 to parse the user provided screen format.
9706 Thu Dec 22 16:25:24 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9708 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Removed the MC_PROMPT_COMMAND stuff,
9709 to be replaced by a cleaner, faster and better method of switching
9710 between MC and bash.
9712 * main.c (view_other_cmd): Made some changes to add support for
9713 the new way of switching to the shell and back.
9715 (execute): Changed similarly. Now it refuses to run a command if
9716 the shell is already running something else.
9718 Thu Dec 22 12:31:56 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9720 * cons.saver.c (main): Changed the call to setpgrp to setsid, this
9721 fixes the bug that killed both the child program and the
9724 * util.c (my_system): Add handling for SIGCHLD signal.
9726 Wed Dec 21 13:21:37 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9728 * option.c (configure_box): Small bug fix: now all the options are
9731 * main.c (do_nc): Small change to fix the program seg faulting on
9732 screens that are too small.
9734 * util.c (name_trunc): Expanded the buffer size.
9736 * main.c (do_search): Now we keep track of the search string in
9739 * tree.c (search_tree): Now the function returns the status of the
9740 search so that the do_search routine tracks the current search
9743 Thu Dec 22 00:21:46 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9745 * mc.bashrc: New file: a suggested "~/.mc.bashrc" for users.
9746 It is worth thinking about whether a global version of this
9747 file ($libdir/mc.bashrc) should be read also, or instead.
9749 * subshell.c (init_subshell): Set up an environment variable
9750 `MC_PROMPT_COMMAND', to store the value of `PROMPT_COMMAND' while
9751 the latter is not being used.
9753 * main.c (view_other_cmd): Modified so that, if the subshell is
9754 enabled, C-o will not only let us view the shell output but switch
9755 control to the shell altogether (using "unset PROMPT_COMMAND").
9757 Wed Dec 21 11:36:10 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9759 * subshell.c: Three small changes to help it compile under SunOS:
9760 included errno.h, removed the sig_atomic_t type, and changed the
9761 initialisation of the SIGCHLD signal action.
9763 (init_subshell): MC now uses an alternative ".mc.inputrc" if it
9764 exists, so that it is possible to have special `readline' options
9765 for MC's bash subshell.
9767 (invoke_subshell): Finally fixed the emacs corruption bug! It was
9768 embarrassingly trivial: the tty needed to have OPOST mode disabled.
9770 Mon Dec 19 15:02:07 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9772 * main.c (menu_edit_cmd): There are no longer local menus.
9773 (init_panels): Free the other_dir variable only if it has been
9776 * util.c (my_statfs): Better statfs support. We will only do the
9777 statfs call on systems we know how to handle.
9779 Mon Dec 19 16:52:06 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9781 * subshell.c: Sundry small changes.
9783 (feed_subshell): Changed return type to void.
9785 (invoke_subshell): Fixed CWD handling: now bash changes to MC's
9786 working directory, if necessary, before running the user command.
9788 Sun Dec 18 11:10:01 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9790 * main.c (view_cmd): Removed superfluous variable `command'.
9792 * util.c: Removed all the (now unnecessary) references to the
9795 * subshell.h: Added a declaration for the new global variable
9796 `bash_prompt', which always contains bash's latest prompt when
9797 the functions `init_subshell' and `invoke_subshell' return.
9799 * main.c (do_execute): Fixed up the call to `invoke_subshell'.
9800 (action): Removed superfluous variable `newdir'.
9802 * main.h: Removed extern declaration of use_subshell because it is
9803 already declared in subshell.h.
9805 Sat Dec 17 16:06:51 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9807 * setup.c (done_setup): New function that shutdowns the setup module.
9809 * terms.c: do_enter_ca_mode now enters putp's the enter_ca_mode to
9810 the screen. Moved from main to avoid name space pollution, this
9811 should make the A/UX port work.
9813 * util.c: statfs structure definition moved from main.
9815 * main.c: Load correctly the directory structure. Moved the stat
9816 definition structures to util.c
9818 * mouse.c (mouse_log): New function used to debug the mouse event
9821 * mouse.h: New macros to debug the event/frame pushing popping
9824 * screen.c (init_panel): Sets the information panel correctly and
9825 load the stat information before displaying them.
9827 (display_mini_info): Clean properly the display area when there
9830 * configure.in: Added check for statfs function.

9841 Detect A/UX when configuring.
9843 Fri Dec 16 15:36:58 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9845 * dir.c, find.c: Use the proper defines to get the dirent file
9846 (change DIRENT -> HAVE_DIRENT_H and the like.
9848 * main.c (mask_ren_cmd): Fixed the rename mask command finally.
9850 Fri Dec 16 13:46:24 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9852 * main.c (main): Moved the `print_last_wd'-handling code to just
9853 before the call to init_subshell, to make "mc -P" work again.
9855 * subshell.c (sigchld_handler): Sets `quit' to the special value
9856 BASH_EXIT if the user has typed "exit" or "logout" in bash.
9858 * main.c (main, do_nc, enter): Made certain parts of the shutdown
9859 code conditional on having quit the program from bash, rather than
9860 by using F10, to make MC exit cleanly in this case. (Done using
9861 the BASH_EXIT constant described above.)
9863 * subshell.c (feed_subshell): If you typed a command, pressed
9864 Enter and hit some keys instantly afterwards, they would corrupt
9865 the command. Fixed this by making `feed_subshell' not read from
9866 the keyboard if called with the QUIETLY option.
9868 Thu Dec 15 15:42:29 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9870 * main.c (do_execute): Was execute. Now, allow for 2 classes of
9871 program execution: normal programs and commander programs.
9873 (load_hotlist): Freed hotlist loaded data.
9875 (do_search): Fixed bug: if we didn't find the file name, continue;
9877 (mask_ren_cmd): Compute the correct size for the destination
9880 * util.c (my_system): Allow execution of programs without the
9881 shell (for the editor and view commands).
9883 Thu Dec 15 13:44:58 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9885 * subshell.c (sigchld_handler): New function and changes to allow
9886 us to react appropriately if the subshell is suspended or dies.
9888 (feed_subshell): This now takes an argument `how', which can be
9889 either QUIETLY or VISIBLY, to control whether the subshell's
9890 output goes to the screen.
9892 Wed Dec 14 15:20:01 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9894 * main.c (do_search): Don't add to the search string if we can't
9895 find the current string.
9897 * screen.c (display_mini_info): Clean the win_file window before
9898 painting the %s bytes in %d files message.

9901 viewing the alternate screen.
9903 * chown.h, chown.c (chown_cmd): Changed return type from int to void.
9905 * chmod.h, chmod.c (chmod_cmd): Changed return type from int to

9910 * Most source files: Trivial fixes to remove compiler warnings.
9912 Tue Dec 13 18:48:20 1994 Dugan O. Porter (dugan@b011.eunet.es)
9914 * util.c (my_system): This function was temporarily blocking
9915 SIGCHLD. I think this cannot have any effect (someone please
9916 correct me if I'm wrong), since MC defines no handler for SIGCHLD,
9917 and this signal is ignored by default. So I removed the block,
9918 because subshell.c needs to do its own SIGCHLD handling.
9920 Mon Dec 12 22:28:23 1994 Dugan Porter <dugan@b011.eunet.es>
9922 * main.c: Some spelling corrections.
9924 (execute): Only load the user shell once. Changes for working
9925 with the subshell stuff.
9927 * subshell.c, subshell.h: New files: used to implement the
9928 concurrent shell running with the Commander.
9930 Mon Dec 12 22:10:54 1994 Massimo Fontanelli <MC8737@mclink.it>
9932 * key.c, mem.h, tree.c: changes to allow compilation under AIX.

9936 * wtools.c (query_dialog_new): Moved function from dlg.c
9938 * wtools.c, wtools.h: renamed from listbox.c and listbox.h. They
9939 now will contain utility functions based on the dialog manager.
9941 * help.c (interactive_display): Added support for going back on
9942 the help history with the mouse.
9944 * dlg.c (dlg_new): Correct the order in which the events are
9945 pushed. This fixes a bug with out of dialog events being sent to
9946 previous mouse handlers.
9947 (destroy_dlg): Added extra pop_event.
9949 Thu Dec 8 20:08:55 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
9951 * main.c (do_nc): Redisplays the mini info when we have aborted a
9954 Fri Dec 9 16:29:33 1994 Radek Doulik <rodo@RoDo-Station>
9956 * chmod.c: bug fix - bad call of chmod_init
9958 * mc.1: chmod command documentation wrote.
9960 Wed Dec 7 21:40:04 1994 Radek Doulik <rodo@RoDo-Station>
9962 * chown.c: continue working on this stuff, now we have first
9963 working version - I have found a bug in chmod, try to catch this bug

9973 * find.c: Some changes to use static arrays instead of dynamically
9974 allocated arrays. We will use this code while we fix the find
9977 * mem.h: On AIX, use rindex.
9979 * gpm-xterm.c, key.c: On AIX, include sys/select.h
9981 Wed Dec 7 20:20:27 1994 Dugan Porter <dugan@b011.eunet.es>
9983 * tree.c: Made internal functions static.
9985 (tree_append_entry): New function, which is just like
9986 tree_add_entry except that the entry always goes onto the end of
9989 I left out the initial consistency check for tree_last->next
9990 being NULL; there seem to be no bugs left in tree.c so I hope
9991 it's not necessary (touch wood)!
9993 I left out the final check that the parent dir is in the list,
9994 because I assume that a directory is never saved in .mc.tree
9995 without its parent being saved also.
9997 Removed all references to the "dotdir" variable, which doesn't
9998 seem to be used for anything.
10000 I changed abort() so it doesn't take an argument
10002 I made a few functions static that aren't called by any other
10003 source files, and don't seem likely to be in the future (e.g.
10004 back_ptr), to reduce namespace pollution. (In fact, the decls
10005 for these functions could be left out of tree.h as well...)
10007 Mon Dec 5 11:24:31 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
10009 * user.c (user_menu_cmd): Don't use the local directory menu file.
10011 * util.c (my_statfs): Moved the blocks2kilos and my_statfs from main.
10013 Sun Dec 4 17:11:24 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>

10041 * new files: chown.h, chown.c - New ChOwn command for changing
10042 owner and group of file. This use new Listbox widget.
10044 * chmod.c: rewritten, implement new features supposed by Miguel,
10045 these are [ Set marked ] [ Clear marked ],
10046 when only one file to proceed - only [ Set ] and [ Cancel ] displayed

10050 * main.c (do_nc): The prompt is set according to the EUID.
10051 (ext_cmd, menu_edit_cmd): Use the EUID instead of the UID.
10053 Sun Dec 4 16:20:21 1994 Thomas Pundt <pundtt@math.uni-muenster.de>
10055 * win.c (push_fkeys, pop_fkeys): push null mouse events so that we
10056 don't get the previous behavior from the mouse events when
10057 entering/leaving a new mode (This fixes this bug: View file, click
10058 on F9, you get the pull down menu from the inside of the viewer).
10060 Fri Dec 2 13:39:34 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
10062 * Makefile.in: Added cons.handler.c to SRCS and cons.handler.o to
10065 * TODO: Removed obsolete entries: regular expressions in extension

10067 1.1.67. Fixed a typo.
10069 * cons.handler.c: A new file which includes the handle_console

10085 hotlist. The handle_console function moved to the new
10086 cons.handler.c file.

10150 to their own functions save_console and restore_console. Now uses
10151 ioctl TIOCLINUX subfunctions 8 and 9 if Linux version is >=

10158 is originates from view.c (do_view).
10160 * view.c: No need to include <sys/time.h> anymore. (goto_line):
10161 Now shows the current line number when asking the new line
10162 number. (do_view): Now uses the new is_idle function instead of
10163 the old select trickery. The automatic adjusting of the dirt_limit
10164 variable in pace of incoming keypresses is more precise now.
10166 * chmod.c: The umode_t type is not defined on Solaris.

10211 * mc.1: Updated: Save Setup is now under the Options menu, not the
10212 Commands menu. The old text of Options section moved to new
10213 Configuration section. The Undocumented Features section renamed
10214 to Special Settings section. All settings which can't be changed
10215 from the menus moved to the Special Settings section.
10217 * ChangeLog, INSTALL, INSTALL.FAST, NEWS, README, TODO, mc.1: Ran
10218 through ispell and corrected spelling errors (there was no errors
10219 in the INSTALL.FAST file).

10248 erase_dir): don't use gc_free, gc_free_now.
10250 * configure.in (LDFLAGS): Fix: Do not set DEFS manually, use
10251 AC_DEFINE, this fixes the problem with selecting group of files in

10255 code on WIDGET_KEY so we can finish the dialog.
10257 (listbox_select_entry): Return after finding the entry; advance

10273 of the static buffer.
10275 (user_menu_cmd): Use the new listbox manager instead of the old
10278 * option.c: Made local variables static.

10285 without ncurses, this is not working yet.
10287 * configure.in (XCURSES): Allow for configuration of the program
10288 with bsd curses instead of ncurses, not very nice.
10290 * xcurses.c (x_getch): New function: used to implement the missing
10291 ungetch in the bsd curses.
10293 * key.c, main.c: use xgetch instead of getch. with ncurses xgetch
10294 is defined as getch, with bsd curses xgetch is defined as x_getch.
10296 * main.c (my_statfs): Don't set the volname attribute, it no
10299 Fri Nov 25 16:14:50 1994 Radek Doulik <rodo@RoDo-Station>
10301 * dlg.c (dlg_one_up): remove send msg WIDGET_DRAW, I don't know
10302 why it was here, but it causes check buttons doesn't work properly
10304 * chmod.c: [Mark all] now works with no file selected

10326 * main.h: Added declaration of the cmd_buf variable.
10328 * mc.1 (Directory Tree): Documented the new features: Navig, Copy
10331 * tree.c: A new global variable: tree_navigation_flag, which is
10332 used for toggling between the new navigation mode and the old
10335 (whereis): Now returns NULL if not found, not the closest
10336 match. Added some speed enhancements which are currently commented
10337 out because they don't work yet.
10339 (tree_add_entry): Added some speed enhancements which are

10412 for button widgets.
10414 * dlg.c (dlg_one_up): New function: use by the widgets to select

10417 change this so that Dlg_Head is never sent to a Widget, now we
10418 have the parent field that can be used to refer to the owner of

10856 (check_focus): Now behaves correctly even if there is less entries
10857 in the tree than there are lines in tree window.
10859 (tree_init): Takes one parameter more which tells amount of lines

10902 (stuff): Disable updating when stuffing characters.
10904 Wed Nov 9 14:50:24 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt8>
10906 * cons.saver.c: Oops, forgot to initialize the action
10907 variable. Made it fail randomly.
10909 * cons.saver.h: Let's start commands from '1' instead of '\000' to
10910 make debugging easier.
10912 * main.c (do_nc): Now works also if the tree view has been
10913 specified in the setup file.
10915 * mc.1: Fixed a typing error in the .\"LINK" command in the
10916 Options section. Wrote the Directory Tree
10919 * tree.c (show_tree): Oops, forgot to initialize the x and y
10920 variables. Caused a deadlock when there was no entries in the tree
10921 and the tree view was active.
10923 (tree_selected): Now works correctly if the selected_ptr is
10924 NULL. No more segmentation faults.
10926 Tue Nov 8 21:26:18 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
10928 * user.c (execute_menu_command): Now it frees the returned pointer
10930 (expand_format): Added support for the '%t' flag. This represents
10931 all the tagged files.
10933 * ext.c (exec_extension): Now must free the returned pointer from
10936 Tue Nov 8 02:07:47 1994 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi)
10938 * Makefile.in: BINDIR now defined in the CPPFLAGS. Added
10939 cons.saver.h to the HDRS. Added cons.saver.c to the DISTFILES. No
10940 need for the prog_mode variable anymore. A new target:
10941 install.saver which installs the Linux console screen save/restore
10942 handler. The uninstall and clean targets now remove cons.saver.
10944 * cons.saver.c: A new file: Linux console screen save/restore
10945 handler. Most of the code was previously the child code in the
10946 main.c file, the handle_console function. See below what was
10947 removed from the main.c file.
10949 * cons.saver.h: A new file. Included by cons.saver.c and main.c.
10950 Defines the commands for cons.saver.
10952 * gindex.pl: If the length of a node name is zero output a newline
10953 on its place in the contents. This is used for dividing the help
10954 file into five parts.
10956 * help.c: A new static variable end_of_node which tells when the
10957 end of node is reached and shown. (move_forward): Refuses to move
10958 forward if the end_of_node variable is true. (show): Little
10959 meaningless code clean-up. Now sets the end_of_node variable.
10961 * main.c: Now includes the cons.saver.h file. The tty_getsize
10962 function removed. The tty_cursormove function removed.
10963 (handle_console): Console detection code removed. The child code
10964 removed. Now uses the cons.saver program for saving and restoring
10965 of the console screen. Security hole checks removed because the mc
10966 does not need to be setuid anymore. (main.c): Backward
10967 compatibility: gives up privileges in case someone installed the
10970 * man2hlp.c (handle_command, handle_link, main): Now supports the
10971 new LINK2 link format.
10973 * mc.1: Reorganized and partially rewritten. Too many changes to
10976 * screen.c (reload_panel): No longer tries to reread tree. This
10977 will get rid of those long delays when tree view is active. Real
10978 fix will be introduced later.
10980 * xnc.hlp: The [Main] and [About] nodes combined into one [Main]
10981 node. The authors are now mentioned only in the mc.1 file which
10982 should help in keeping them up to date.
10984 Tue Nov 8 14:09:23 1994 Leon Raadshooven<L.A.RoosvRaadshooven@research.ptt.nl>
10986 * color.c: Code cleanup
10988 Tue Nov 8 13:12:12 1994 Mauricio Plaza <mok@roxanne.nuclecu.unam.mx>
10990 * find.c (find_dialog): Choose the appropriate regexp depending on
10991 the easy_patterns setting.
10993 Tue Nov 8 12:50:10 1994 Torben Fjerdingstad <tfj@olivia.ping.dk>
10995 * mc.ext: It defaults to view the file with $PAGER. I have set
10996 LESSCHARSET=latin1 to tell my $PAGER, NOT to display binary files
10999 Mon Nov 7 12:56:26 1994 Janne Kukonlehto (jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi)
11001 * Makefile.in (make install): Removed the 'if $(do_setuid) then'
11002 line which caused 'make install' to fail.
11004 * README: The sample menu file is mc.menu, not nc.ext.
11006 * help.c (move_forward2, move_backward2, move_forward,
11007 move_backward): The beginning of a line is just after newline, not
11010 (move_to_top, move_to_bottom): New functions which support moving
11011 to the top and bottom of a node. (null_fn): Deleted, no longer
11014 (follow_link): Added one space to the beginning of the error
11017 (select_next_link): No longer tries to be too clever for its own
11020 (show): Now uses 'switch - case' instead of 'if - else if - else
11021 if...'. Now supports alternate character set, output of the
11022 version number of the Midnight Commander and tab characters.
11024 (help_event): Now a click of the right mouse button moves to the
11025 previous node. A left click on the top or bottom frame line moves
11026 one pageful backward or forward.
11028 (interactive_display): The beginning of a line is just after
11029 newline, not just before it. Enlarged the mouse event area. Up and
11030 down arrows behave now like a mixture of old behaviour and the
11031 behaviour of the tab key (a bit like in Lynx). Old behaviour of up
11032 and down arrow is available by pressing C-p and C-n. Comment
11033 reorganization. Added 'n', 'p' and 'c' keys for moving to next,
11034 previous and contents node.
11036 * help.h: Defined codes for switching to the alternate character
11037 set, returning to the normal set and outputting of the version
11040 * main.c (action.c): In the tree view: now it is able handle
11041 failure of the do_cd call correctly.
11043 (panel_event): When clicking above or below the directory listing
11044 now moves one pageful instead of one lineful.
11046 * mc.menu: Reorganized the comment lines to conform to the new
11047 comment feature. Documented the new comment feature and the new
11048 condition debug feature. Fixed a small bug in the condition
11049 preceding the 'X' entry.
11051 * tree.c: Added a lot of comments.
11053 (show_tree): In the directory tree the mini-status line shows now
11054 the full name of directory if there is no search string. This is
11055 similar to the behaviour of the tree view feature.
11057 (check_focus): A new function which tries to keep the selected
11058 directory near the middle of the window.
11060 (tree_move_backward, tree_move_forward): Now using the check_focus
11063 (event_callback): Now moves one pageful backward or forward if the
11064 top or bottom frame line is clicked.
11066 (tree): Enlarged the mouse event area.
11068 * user.c: Two static variables debug_flag and debug_error for the
11069 implementation of debug output feature.
11071 (debug_out): A new function which takes care of all debug output
11074 (test_type, test_condition, test_line): Now support the debug_out
11077 (test_condition): Fixed a small bug in the handling of the '!'
11080 (user_menu_cmd): Now there can be real comments in the user menu.
11082 * xnc.hlp: Added a nice logo to the [Main] node. Full rewrite of
11083 the [Help] node. The 'General movement keys' link points to the
11084 new manual page which is not ready yet and therefore it is not
11087 Sun Nov 6 20:28:28 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11089 * Makefile.in (install): Thanks to Janne who pointed out this
11090 buglet, now we can install the software again.
11092 Sun Nov 6 20:07:12 1994 Radek Doulik <rodo@earn.cvut.cz>
11094 * chmod.c, chmod.h: new files, implement the chmod command on a
11095 nice dialog box. Binded to the C-x c key. We need to document
11096 this. BTW, GNU indent -kr -pcs gives the approximate coding style
11099 Sun Nov 6 17:45:59 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11101 * main.c (menu_display_cmd, menu_cmd, menu_last_selected_cmd):
11102 Added support for recalling last used menu entry, Torben will be
11104 (prev_page, next_page): Changed to have the 1.1 behavior again
11105 (when moving, if possible, keep the selection at the same relative
11106 distance from the top_file).
11108 Sat Nov 5 12:59:34 1994 Raadshooven <L.A.RoosvRaadshooven@research.ptt.nl>
11110 * main.c (main): Added support for loading colors from the Command
11113 Fri Nov 4 14:20:13 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11115 * key.c (mi_getch): New default: on ncurses-1.8.6 we need to
11116 untouch the window (stdscr), made the default.
11120 Fri Nov 4 14:16:08 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11122 * main.c (move_down, move_up, move_home, move_end, prev_page,
11123 next_page): Replaced the show_tree calls with paint_panel calls.
11125 (do_search): Now supports the tree view feature (meaning that the
11126 trees can now be searched).
11128 (start_search): Added a call to the display_mini_info function because
11129 it now behaves differently when searching.
11131 (panel_event): Now supports the tree view feature (meaning that the
11132 tree view feature has now mouse support).
11134 (tree_cmd): Now reports an error if one of the panels is in the tree
11137 (view_other_cmd): Changed error message to reflect the new name for
11140 (tree_view_cmd): Only one of the panels can be in the tree view mode.
11141 Initialization of the tree_lines and tree_cols variables is no
11144 * main.h: Added the declarations of the searching and
11145 search_buffer variables so that the display_mini_info function in
11146 the screen.c file can use them.
11148 * panel.h: Added view_tree to the list of possible views.
11150 * screen.c: Now includes main.h.
11152 (display_mini_info): If the search mode is active the current search
11155 (panel_reload): Now supports the tree view feature (meaning that
11156 ctrl-r works in the tree view mode).
11158 * tree.c: Added the submask field to the tree_entry
11159 structure. Deleted the tree_cols variable as unnecessary. Renamed
11160 the count variable to tree_count and made it global. Added the
11161 search_buffer variable. Made the done variable static instead of
11164 (free_tree): The initialization of the top, selected, selected_ptr and
11165 tree_count variables is moved here.
11167 (read_tree): Now a global function. Added a call to the free_tree
11168 function to remove a possible old tree data and initialize some
11169 variables. The count/tree_count variable is no longer initialized
11170 here. Added the code for the submask field calculation.
11172 (show_tree): Now uses the submask field to decide whether a sub-branch
11173 is the last sub-branch of its parent-branch and what levels of
11174 parent-branches there are. This method creates the correct tree
11175 figure as long as there are no more than 32 levels of
11176 subdirectories (because of the submask field has only 32
11177 bits). Better support for working as a panel. Small cosmetic
11178 fixes. If working as a dialog now shows the current search string.
11180 (tree_init): The initialization of the top and selected variables
11181 moved away from here.
11183 (tree_event, event_callback): New functions which implement the mouse
11186 (search_tree): A new function which implements the tree search feature.
11188 (tree): The done variable moved away from here. Decreased the value of
11189 tree_lines from 18 to 16 so that there is room for the search box.
11190 The create_dialog call still allocates 18 lines. Added support for
11191 tree search feature. Added mouse support. The additional movement
11192 keys are longer allowed (because they are needed for the search
11193 feature). Changed the handling of the result variable. The 'r' key
11194 no longer rereads the tree (use ctrl-r instead).
11196 * tree.h: Added the declarations of the read_tree, tree_event and
11197 tree_count identifiers. Removed the tree_cols variable.
11199 Fri Nov 4 10:55:43 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11201 * widget.c (check_new): Split the dialog manager in dialog manager
11202 and widget implementation functions.
11204 * color.c (init_colors): Major reworking. Now, we allow to switch
11205 back and forth from color and bw mode.
11207 Fri Nov 4 10:04:19 1994 Raadshooven <L.A.RoosvRaadshooven@research.ptt.nl>
11209 * color.c: Added support to reconfigure colors via the
11210 MC_COLOR_TABLE environment variable.

11214 * file.c (erase_dir): Forced use of 'yes' to recursively delete a
11217 Thu Nov 3 18:21:53 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11219 * screen.c (display_mini_info): Prints the currently selected
11222 * main.c (tree_view_cmd): Little patch to allow 'Cancel' on the
11224 (select_item): Extra checking when using select_item

11228 * Makefile.in: Added tree.c to the SRCS, tree.h to the HDRS and
11229 tree.o to the OBJS.
11231 * main.c (change_panel, move_down, move_up, move_home, move_end,
11232 prev_page, next_page, action, full_cmd, brief_cmd, info_cmd,
11233 long_cmd, check_menu_panel, copy_other_prog_name,
11234 copy_other_pathname, copy_other_tagged): Changes to support the
11237 * (tree_cmd, tree_view_cmd): New functions for the directory tree
11238 and tree view features.

11257 handles input lines when ran under the dialog manager.
11259 * find.c (add_list): Changed gc_free for gc_free_now.
11261 * main.c (move_selection): Initialized adjust.
11262 (do_re_sort): After setting selection, set the top_file field.
11263 Need to make sure I didn't forget any of this in the source code.
11265 Wed Nov 2 16:14:18 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11267 * INSTALL: Changed the wording to reflect current version of
11268 console screen save/restore support.
11270 * README: Changed the wording to reflect the new name and the
11271 xterm mouse support. Small spelling fixes. Fixed the location of
11272 the latest alpha version.
11274 * configure.in: A bug fix in the --with-screen-restore
11275 option. This bug caused 'make install' to fail.
11277 dlg.c, option.c: A name change from MouseLess Commander to
11278 Midnight Commander.
11280 * file.c (copy_file_file): A small bug fix (replaced a
11281 bracket-pair with a parentheses-pair). This bug was detected by
11284 * main.c (handle_console): Corrected race-condition bug by making
11285 the parent to wait until the child gets its job done. Also two
11286 other small bug fixes.

11305 * option.c: Fixed problem with data type of check_options and
11307 (init_configure): Code cleanup, also destroys properly the new window.
11309 * view.c (do_view): Bug fix: delete the windows when leaving the
11312 Wed Nov 2 15:20:26 1994 Fred Leeflang <fredl@nebula.ow.org>
11314 * file.c (recursive_erase): Implemented recursive directory delete.

11337 destination of the link is shown.
11339 * key.c (mi_getch): Use the new macro ALT() for converting an ALT
11342 * util.c (is_printable): A new function to detect whether a
11343 character is legal in current mode. In 7-bit mode characters 32 -
11344 126 are legal and in 8-bit mode characters 32 - 126 and 160 - 255
11345 are legal (conforming to the ISO-8859-1 / latin-1 standard).

11359 * main.c (tty_defaults, tty_cursormove, handle_console): New
11360 functions for handling Linux console screen saving and
11361 restoring. Original idea and part of code from Unix Interactive
11362 Tools version 3.2b, file tty.c. NOTE: this code requires that the
11363 user is root or the mc is setuid root (because it is reading the
11366 * main.c (pre_exec, post_exec, view_other_cmd, main):
11367 Modifications to use handle_console for screen saving and
11370 * view.c (display): No longer tries to output DEL characters.
11372 * win.c (check_movement_keys): Added the 'g' and 'G' keys to the
11373 additional keys. They work like they do in 'less'. (This change
11374 requires my previous patch applied).

11404 callback function pointer in the fkey_table_list.
11405 (push_fkey): The new_fkey function renamed to push_fkey. Now
11406 allocates a new fkey_table_list.

11411 (check_movement_keys): A new function. Checks whether a
11412 key is up, down, pgup, pgdn, home or end and calls the correct
11413 function. If the 'additional' flag is true checks also 'less' like
11414 keys 'b', space, 'u' and 'd'.
11416 * help.c (move_forward2, move_backward2, move_forward,
11417 move_backward, null_fn, interactive_display): Now uses the
11418 check_movement_keys function.

11446 entries in the user menu.
11448 * auto.c (do_exec_mount): Added calls to open_error_pipe and
11449 close_error_pipe, don't close descriptor (2).
11451 * ext.c, file.c, help.c, main.c, user.c, view.c: Changed a lot of
11452 uses to sys_errlist[errno] to unix_error_string (errno).
11454 Thu Oct 27 14:21:30 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11456 * TODO: Now mentions the TERMINFO environment variable. Changed
11457 the location of the line "Use the mv code from GNU's mv". Deleted
11458 the entry about left and right moving the selection in brief mode
11459 (already implemented).
11461 * dir.c (handle_dirent): New function. (do_load_dir,
11462 do_reload_dir): The common part of the code moved to the
11463 handle_dirent function to avoid code duplication.
11465 * dir.c (handle_dirent, sort_name, sort_ext, sort_time,
11466 sort_size), dir.h: Links to directories are now sorted as
11467 directories. Links to files continue to be sorted as files.
11469 * ext.c, file.c, help.c, main.c, user.c, view.c: Changed a lot of
11470 calls to the "message" function to include system error message
11471 sys_errlist[errno].
11473 * file.c (move_file): Now uses open_error_pipe/close_error_pipe to
11474 catch the error messages from /bin/mv command.
11476 * main (init_panels): If chdirs to the other_dir, now chdirs also
11477 back. This thing seemed to be accidentally deleted by someone from
11480 * util.c, util.h, view.c: The open_error_pipe, check_error_pipe
11481 and close_error_pipe functions moved from view.c to util.c. The
11482 prototypes now appear in the util.h. Modifications in
11483 close_error_pipe to make it possible to define whether a possible
11484 message in the error pipe should be printed as a warning message
11485 or a error message.
11488 Wed Oct 26 17:21:19 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11490 * configure.in: Now the gpm library is detected by the autoconf
11491 program. If the lib is installed in a weird directory, then you
11492 use the --with-gpm-mouse=base-directory.
11494 * Changed the use_gpm constant for HAVE_LIBGPM.
11496 * util.c (copy_strings): new function. This one uses gc_alloc and
11497 returns the concatenation of all it's arguments. The list must
11500 * ext.c (regex_command), file.c (move_file), find.c, main.c
11501 (action, view_cmd, ext_cmd, menu_edit_cmd), setup.c
11502 (save_setup, load_setup), view.c (load_view_file): Removed hard
11503 coded limits, use the new function copy_strings.
11505 * gc.c (gc_free_now): New function, frees the pointer at that
11506 point, also increased the number of handles.
11508 * main.c: Typo fix.
11510 * menu.c: allow F-10 to act like ESC.
11512 Wed Oct 26 17:13:15 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11514 * main.c (filter_cmd): Filter was acting on the current panel
11515 instead of the panel selected in the menus.
11516 (action): When executing commands in a panel, prepend a ./ to the
11519 Wed Oct 26 17:09:59 1994 Alessandro Rubini <rubini@ipvvis.UNIPV.IT>
11521 * key.c (mi_getch): switch cleanup.
11523 Tue Oct 25 12:19:39 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11525 dir.c (do_load_dir, do_reload_dir): Directory "." is no longer
11526 shown in the directory panel. Added support for directory panel
11529 dir.h: Added a filter parameter to the prototypes of do_load_dir
11532 panel.h: Added the filter field to the struct Panel.
11534 find.c (select_and_change_panel): Added filter argument to the
11535 call of do_load_dir.
11537 screen.c (brief_frame): The titles of the directory panel in the
11538 brief mode are located correctly even if the width of the screen
11540 (init_panel): The default filter is "*".
11541 (panel_reload): Added filter argument to the call of
11544 main.c (init_panels, do_cd): Added filter argument to the call of
11546 (filter_cmd): New function to change the directory panel
11548 (swap_cmd): New function to swap the contents of the directory
11549 panels, keyboard shortcut is C-u. Changes in PanelMenu, RightMenu
11550 and CmdMenu to support the filter and swap commands. A name change
11551 of a menu entry: "View other screen(xterm)" -> "Panels
11552 on/off(xterm)". The width of the menu bar now matches the width of
11555 help.c (start_link_area, end_link_area, clear_link_area,
11556 help_event): New functions which implement a mouse support.
11558 (show, interactive_display): Now using the mouse support.
11560 help.c (select_prev_link): No longer tries to recover if there is
11561 no previous link. Returns NULL in such cases. (show): If the
11562 selected link would not be visible the first or the last visible
11564 (interactive_display): Reworked the way the "tab" and "b" keys
11565 work. Now they step through the links on the screen, not the links
11567 (interactive_display): Added support for the "left" and "right"
11568 keys. They work like they do in the Lynx.
11570 Sun Oct 23 17:21:14 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11572 * util.c (tilde_expand): Now, this time, it should work.
11574 * main.c (init_panels): Don't select the information window.
11576 * setup.c (load_setup): Only one of the panels may be in the
11579 * main.c: Now you can use C-x i to toggle the information window.
11581 Thu Oct 20 11:47:24 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11583 * profile.c (sync_profiles): Made some function static. Added
11584 prototypes to profile.h file.
11586 * profile.h: new file, prototypes to profile.c. Added #include to
11587 the files that used the functions.
11589 * main.c (switch_to_info): New function: switches to information
11590 mode, and added the info option to the menus.
11592 * screen.c (paint_panel): Can paint normal panels and information
11595 * util.c (tilde_expand): Hopefully, now the tilde expansion is fixed.
11597 * ncurses.h: Added detection for buggy ncurses when running on SGI
11598 machines with GNU CC.
11600 Tue Oct 18 12:23:06 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11602 * configure.in: Actually do something when GCC is detected. Copy
11603 the GNUmakefile from the source directory to the compilation
11606 * GNUmakefile: New file. Used to include the dependencies.
11607 Developers should use GNU make, the rest of the people is ok with
11610 * main.c (move_selection, move_left, move_right): When in Brief
11611 mode, the program now is able to move the selection to the left
11612 and right. Only the keybindings KEY_LEFT and KEY_RIGHT use this
11613 option, the C-b and C-f still call the default_key handling
11616 Tue Oct 18 10:32:22 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11618 * key.c (mi_getch): Solaris fix: if key received is kf0, convert
11621 * xterm.ti: fixed the op capability to the correct value and
11622 changed the definition from kf0 to kf10.
11624 Mon Oct 17 18:41:33 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11626 * util.c (tilde_expand): Finally, I fixed the tilde expansion, it
11627 was not that hard to fix.
11629 * user.c (execute_menu_command): Use strchr instead of
11630 search_string, this fixes a little bug introduced by the need of
11633 * xterm.ti, vt100.ti: new terminfo databases for vt100 and xterm.
11635 Mon Oct 17 17:44:11 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11637 * xterm-color: new file. NCurses terminfo database for color
11640 * man2hlp.c: new file. replaces man2hlp.pl (and the use of fmt).
11642 * main.c (view_other_cmd): Now displays an error box if curses
11643 does not support the alternate screen.
11645 * help.c: Now uses help.h. The constant definitions moved to
11646 help.h. Now uses the constants (why to define constants if they
11649 * help.h: New file. Defines constants for help.c and man2hlp.c.
11651 * gindex.pl: Removed the ctrl-d workaround. Not needed because fmt
11652 is no longer used. Removed the main node from contents (it was
11653 added to contents by removal of ctrl-d workaround). Other new
11654 nodes in the contents (About, License and Help) left visible.
11656 * color.h, dialog.c (create_dialog), screen.c (show_dir): Color
11657 selection bug fixes. The code was assuming that the default color
11658 is white on black. On color xterm it is black on white.
11660 * Makefile.in (ync.hlp): Uses man2hlp (compiled version of the
11661 man2hlp.c) instead of man2hlp.pl and fmt. Rebuilding the mc.hlp
11662 file works now on all machines, not just on Linux.
11664 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Replaced the man2hlp.pl file with
11665 man2hlp.c. Removed the second occurrence of xnc.hlp.
11667 Fri Oct 14 17:52:46 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11669 * screen.c (panel_reload): If you can't chdir to a directory, load
11672 Fri Oct 14 16:23:41 1994 Massimo Fontanelli <MC8737@mclink.it>
11674 * find.c (find_dialog): You can't stop if lines is equal to
11675 zero. This fixes one of the problems in the find file program.
11677 Fri Oct 14 13:53:16 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11679 * util.c (regexp_match): Fixed small typo when HAVE_LIBGEN_H is
11682 * configure.in: Misc cleanup in the configuration process.
11683 Solaris should use the -lgen library to have regular expression
11686 Fri Oct 14 13:32:02 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11688 * main.c (execute): The execute function didn't change the line
11689 after prompting which caused the output of next external command
11690 to start from the middle of line. The view_other_cmd function
11691 didn't flush the output after putp(enter_ca_mode) which made it
11692 look like two keypresses are needed to return to the mc screen.
11694 * key.c (mi_getch): I finally managed to nail down that gpm bug I
11695 have been complaining about. The mi_getch function was reading
11696 gpm mouse even when shut_mouse had been called. It was a real hard
11697 one. The existence of the mouse is now told by three
11698 variables. The use_mouse_p variable tells the type of mouse and
11699 the gpm_flag and xmouse_flag variables tell whether the mouse is
11700 currently active (init_mouse called) or not (shut_mouse
11701 called). Previously I was attempting to get along with only
11704 Fri Oct 14 10:58:34 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11706 * help.c (select_prev_link, select_next_link): Bug fixes.
11707 (search_string_node): Don't return main if can't find a node.
11709 * view.c (regexp_searc, normal_search): Now, it should not do
11711 (do_view): Now, you can continue a search with the 'n' or C-s
11714 Thu Oct 13 16:25:39 1994 Massimo Fontanelli <MC8737@mclink.it>
11716 * view.c (do_view): When running under AIX, keys F8 and F9 take
11717 you to the beginning and bottom.
11719 Thu Oct 13 12:26:23 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11721 * help.c (interactive_display): If there are no next or previous
11722 links when that command is issued, don't go to the main node.
11724 Thu Oct 13 11:34:06 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11726 * dialog.h: removes the warning which comes during compilation.
11728 * help.c (search_string, move_backward, show,
11729 interactive_display): Two fixes for the bugs uncovered by the
11730 addition of '.\"LINK"' command: a newline in the link name bug fix
11731 and a multi-line spanning link background colour flash bug
11732 fix. Other changes: a backward scroll bug fix, a dialog name
11733 change from "Main" to "Help", a next-page bug fix and F1 now shows
11734 the help for the help viewer.
11736 * view.c (do_view): Backspace and delete now scroll a screenful
11737 backwards like they do in the internal help.
11739 * Makefile.in: Added INSTALL.FAST to the DISTFILES.
11741 * xnc.hlp: Improved the documentation for the help viewer.
11743 * gindex.pl: The index is no longer sorted. Looks a bit better
11744 now. I think that the name "Contents" would be better than the
11747 * mc.1, mc.hlp: A name change in header: nc -> mc. Description and
11748 Options moved out of the index to their own section. A lot of
11749 links added. Bug fixes and spelling corrections. The awfully long
11750 Keys section divided to five sections (Keys, Action Keys,
11751 Selection Keys, Command Line Keys and Input Line Keys). The
11752 existence of the menus documented (section Menu Bar).
11753 Miscellaneous additions.
11755 * man2hlp.pl: Added support for '.\"LINK"' command. Better support
11756 for roff commands ".nf" and ".fi".
11758 * NEWS: Spelling corrections.
11760 * INSTALL.FAST: The INSTALL file seems to be a bit long. I wrote a
11761 shorter version which only mentions the essential. It is still
11762 longer than one screenful but I think it is a step to the right
11765 * ChangeLog: Spelling corrections.
11767 Wed Oct 12 18:43:19 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11769 * view.c (search), find.c (add_list), main.c (unselect_cmd,
11770 select_cmd): Use the new regexp_match argument
11772 * util.c (regexp_match): If matching files, and easy patterns are
11773 enabled, then add '^' at the beginning of the regular expression
11774 and a '$' at the end.
11776 * Added some missing includes to many files (malloc.h, unistd.h)
11778 * view.c (move_forward): Fixed bug in the internal viewer.
11779 Changed line == lines for line >= lines, since line could have
11780 been incremented twice: one caused by the wrapping and one because
11782 (do_view): Added back scrolling with the DEL key.
11784 Tue Oct 11 11:12:53 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11786 * find.c (find_dialog): Now, before returning, it properly
11787 destroys the dialog.
11789 * view.c (view): Call push_refresh only after the WINDOW * have
11790 been setup, and pop the refresh function only if the viewer did
11793 * find.c (do_find), user.c: Use do_refresh instead of
11796 * dialog.c (push_refresh, pop_refresh, do_refresh): new screen
11799 * view.c (view): Use the new display refresh handler.
11801 * help.c (interactive_display): Now you can specify the node to be
11804 * main.c (version): Shows information about how was the program
11807 Tue Oct 11 11:12:33 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11809 * key.c (mi_getch): This patch makes function keys work under
11810 Irix. It may also help on other machines which have incorrect
11811 termcap. However, it doesn't make F10 work under Solaris.
11813 * view.c: Some reorganization in view.c to support my forth-coming
11814 version of the buffering. It now uses longs instead of char
11815 pointers. "*from" has been replaced with "get_byte(from)". I
11816 submit these changes now so that others won't make incompatible
11817 changes before I get the buffering ready.
11819 Changed some stupid abbreviations to the long form: errpipe ->
11820 error_pipe, open_errpipe -> open_error_pipe, close_errpipe ->
11821 close_error_pipe, olderr -> old_error.
11823 Modifications in open_error_pipe and close_error_pipe and addition
11824 of check_error_pipe to support my forth-coming version of the
11827 Moved the wrap toggle from F5 to the correct place F2. Disabled
11828 the AIX meanings of F1 and F2.
11830 regexp_search() disabled in the hex mode (previously only the fkey
11831 label was removed). Replaced the RxSearch hotkey F8 with F6 (the
11832 fkey labels already mentioned F6 as the hotkey).
11834 (help_cmd): Added a help command to the internal viewer. BUGS:
11835 doesn't open the help file from the correct place (is not context
11836 sensitive), flashes the main screen when exiting from the help.
11838 (move_forward): A bug fix in move_forward(). Now it correctly
11839 scrolls forward when in wrap mode.
11841 * mc.1: (Internal file viewer): Documented the active keys inside
11842 the internal file viewer.
11844 * main.c (view_other_cmd): Because view_other_cmd() now works only
11845 in xterm I removed libgpm bug workaround (perhaps I should get a
11846 bugless version of libgpm, I am having too many segmentation
11847 faults when using mc on the console).
11849 (check_for_default): When editing the extension file or the menu
11850 file if the file doesn't exist the default file is copied for editing.
11852 (ext_cmd, menu_edit_cmd): Uses check_for_default.
11854 (version): A little change in version string informing about xterm
11857 Mon Oct 10 21:10:46 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11859 * key.c (mi_getch): Buggy SystemV curses now should be able to
11860 detect ESC+anything extra key sequences.
11862 * help.c: When going back in the history, it sets the selected
11863 link to the one that was followed.
11864 (select_prev_link): Now it's possible to go back in the hypertext
11865 viewer with the 'b' key.
11867 * configure.in: Added --with-old-tools configuration option.
11869 Sat Oct 8 12:45:22 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11871 * view.c (display): The viewer now can wrap text. It's still
11872 missing movement by lines that correctly deals with wrapped text.
11873 (move_forward): Moves ok when wrap mode is on.
11874 (move_backward): Moves ok when wrap mode is on.
11876 Fri Oct 7 19:58:42 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11878 * menu.c (run_bar): Always repaint menu bar.
11880 Thu Oct 6 09:48:18 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11882 * profile.c (load): Changed char c for int c. That caused AIX and
11883 SGI machines to freeze when loading the profile.
11885 * setup.c: Added accidentally deleted entry for default_list_perm
11888 Thu Oct 6 09:47:42 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11890 * menu.c (run_bar): Fixed wrong type cast for IRIX.
11892 * auto.c: fixed typo.
11894 Wed Oct 5 11:37:38 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11896 * key.c (mi_getch): Fixed small typo: use_mouse_p == XTERM_MOUSE
11898 * menu.c (top_menu_handle): Fixed the problems with the mouse. No
11899 more flashing menus, and correctly select entries in the
11901 (run_bar): Added a missing line.
11903 * main.c (main): Removed the \ec hack before entering do_nc, it
11904 was a hack to a badly written termcap entry for the Linux console
11907 Wed Oct 5 10:44:30 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11909 * zip.c (is_gunzipable): Clean up the code.
11911 * view.c (open_err_pipe, close_err_pipe): These functions are used
11912 for creating a pipe for capturing gzip error messages. If gzip
11913 encounters a error, the error message is now shown in a nice
11914 message box. Lot cleaner than the previous solution.
11915 (view): More fixes to gzip viewer.
11917 * main.c (view_other_cmd): The 'View other screen (xterm)' feature
11918 now shows an error box if current terminal is not xterm. It still
11919 doesn't work on Solaris xterm without real ncurses (well,
11920 documentation encourages people to use real ncurses, so it is not
11921 a bug, it is a feature).
11923 Tue Oct 4 11:37:06 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11925 * configure.in (LIBS): Little fix: if ncurses is in /usr/include
11926 then add -lncurses.
11928 * menu.c (top_menu_handle): Fixed bug that prevented current
11929 selection on dialog boxes to be selected in bars.
11931 * key.c (xmouse_get_event): Added double click support under
11932 xterms (double_click_speed loaded in setup.c).
11934 Tue Oct 4 10:25:55 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11936 * zip.c (is_gunzipable): The code can now figure out the size of
11939 If the file to viewed has PACK_MAGIC, LZH_MAGIC or compress magic
11940 the code guesses that the uncompressed size is four times the
11941 compressed size. If the uncompressed size is later found to be
11942 smaller extra memory is freed with realloc.
11944 * configure.in: When specifying --with-ncurses flag, add the
11945 -lncurses library option. Added a missing fi to the script.
11947 * view.c (search): If search string is not found, inform the user.
11948 (load_view_file): Gzip support was showing uncompressed data only
11949 worth the compressed size of the file. I fixed it and did two
11950 other minor adjustments to the gzip support. I hope it will work
11953 Mon Oct 3 17:21:46 1994 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@sphinx>
11955 * main.c (do_cd): trim directory to cd.
11956 (do_cd): Use the new wonderful micro-garbage collector. This
11957 should help to clean up the code in the future. I promise to
11958 change the actual code with the time to use the garbage collector.
11959 (do_cd): New: tilde expansion on cd.
11961 Mon Oct 3 09:30:59 1994 Miguel de Icaza (miguel@roxanne)
11963 * main.c (main): Friendly hack.
11965 * To configure the gpm mouse server, you need to specify
11966 --with-console-mouse. Since now it always come with mouse support
11967 (since you may be running in an xterm, again, all that was made by
11970 * mouse.c,main.c: changed use_mouse for use_gpm
11972 Mon Oct 3 09:23:04 1994 Janne Kukonlehto <jtklehto@stekt.oulu.fi>
11974 * win.c (define_label, define_label_quit): Now works on xterms.
11976 * menu.c: Removed ifdefs around use_mouse, now on xterms it works.
11978 * mouse.h: Modifications to use mouse on xterms without having the
11979 gpm package installed.
11981 * main.c: use_mouse_p now holds the type of mouse handling that is
11983 (main): Detect xterm and cleanup the constants.
11985 * key.c (init_key): Changes for using mouse in xterms.
