mc Digest, Vol 85, Issue 1

[chris glur]

Thanks, that fixed it.
And related: the mc-officianado suggested that the new mc could do 'this';
well I've just installed Slak13, with a newish mc, and I can't see how to.

I want to know where each of about 20 mc is.
Ie. a list of <path where mc's active panel is> , <Desktop,terminal pair>.

Coincidentally ~/.mc/filepos   now shows:  ...
/mnt/p11/April2010/FetchScript 3;1
/mnt/p11/Econ/OwnBanks/GquasiPrtnSA2 1;0
/mnt/p11/Debug/Zonnon4smtp/ifL 3;0
...
and if
/mnt/p11/April2010/FetchScript 3;1
  meant that, THAT <path> currently was accessible by switching to
 desktop3, VT1;   that's exactly what I want.

I wonder WHAT the 'pair' corresponding to the <path> in ~/.mc/filepos
  DOES mean?

Obviously each open `mc` is known to the mc-system.
But I guess it's known by its pid.
And that is obtainable from: lsof | grep mc.
And mc doesn't have to worry about the desktop,VT allocation.
That's the job of the windowsManager: kde or whatever.
So I don't believe that mc-files have the answer of which Desktop, VT
 any mc is occuppying. So I should'nt tear my guts out trying?

Thanks,

== Chris Glur.
