Now the filename is preceded by its full path. This seems to be a result of https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3285. I liked it *much* better just seeing the filename. Is there some config setting that can counteract this change? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Now, I can confirm that 4.8.14 builds and runs nicely on Solaris 11.2. Milan -- The amount of things I don't know is enormous. But I'm grateful for every bit of information.

The Filtered View command does not currently use the PATH environment variable to find the executable provided. I have submitted a pull request for this: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/59 Is someone able to have a look for me? To replicate the problem: 1. In mc, open the "File" menu and select "Filtered View" 2. In the displayed Filtered View command and arguments field, type "grep PATTERN FILENAME" Expected result: display output of grep command in mcview Actual result: Error is displayed "Cannot create pipe streams" Reason: The grep command is not in the current directory, and the PATH environment variable is not used to search for the executable.

Message-ID: <55323757.2050602@rikishi42.net> Hi, I've been using mc for a very, very long time now. And a while (years ?) back there was a change in the interface of the copy progress display. I liked that very much, but found a bug and also a need for a an additional option. I'm only using release 4.8.1, but didn't find anything in the release notes that would suggest that it would have been addressed. Is this the right place to report/suggest those modifications, or is this list for developpers only? The other mc mailing list seems very quiet, so I figured I'd ask here.
