The cascading windows is a very nice idea because you could see all of the files that  were opened.But if that is too difficult, dividing the screen into two rows of tiled windows (maximum 6 or 8) would be reasonable .Thanks much for your better idea. Bob Currey Sent from my Galaxy

(I'm replying to the list this time, just ensuring that it's not missed)Can I ask for clarification:- when an option, -w for example, will be given,- then mc should start with the file's window in windowed (not fullscreen mode),- for multiple files, possibly arranged the windows in e.g.: cascading way,?I think that this would involve first creating a CK_WindowCascade action that would arrange the windows (first exiting fullscreen if needed).On Fri, 15 Jan 2021 at 14:32, Bob Currey via mc <mc at gnome.org> wrote:
