Thanks, Rob and Andrew !
I can merge the two suggestions ...
in a login script like ~/.profile or some script around starting X session,
mkdir -m 0600 /tmp/mc && export MC_PROFILE_ROOT=/tmp/mc
I've moved /tmp to tmpfs on all my machines, many years ago. I think it's even default now on most distros, and since quite some time ?
I'm also copying ini now. To clarify i inserted a custom section on top, like
[hello_santa]
ho_ho_ho=1
and it seems to work.
One more question, mc seems to create a folder /tmp/mc-user (by username) and it's always empty for me.
Does anybody know what this is used for ?
Encrypting swap reminds me of that experiment, decades ago, when a friend moved swap to a floppy disk. Hahaha. Immediately frozen.
What a deal!
