Question about auto-save setup

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Juan,

Du meintest am 15.09.09 zum Thema Question about auto-save setup:

> In the 4.6.* days I used to disable the "Auto save setup" feature so
> that way every time I started mc it showed the current working
> directory on the left panel and a default location on the second one.
> I'm not sure if that was a feature or not, but I really miss it on
> the new version.

> The steps to reproduce this on 4.6.1 were:

> 1- Configure mc the way I want it and disabling "Auto save setup".
> 2- Save the configuration.
> 3- In the right panel go to /my/preferred/directory
> 4- Position left panel.
> 5- Save the configuration.

> Is there a way to do the same thing on the 4.7.* versions?

May be "panels.ini" is the bad guy who disturbs "auto_save_setup=no".

"~/.mc/ini" leaves unchanged, but "~/.mc/panels.ini" is changed on and  
on.

Perhaps I make "panels.ini" write-protected ...

1) go (left and right) into the desired standard directories,
2) go left
3) exit mc

4)    lsattr +i ~/.mc/panels.ini

("lsattr -i" unprotects)

It's a bad hack, I know.

Viele Gruesse!
