Package: mc Version: 3:4.7.0.1-1 Severity: wishlist Many GUI programmes, such as G* and K* tools, spam stderr with crap that noone cares about. If mc spawns these helpers, the output messes up the ncurses UI and requires me to punch ctrl-l to restore.
I think it would make sense if mc categorically intercepted stderr of processes it spawns. One could consider accumulating such output in a buffer that can be viewed separately, or to display the output with e.g. less, and restore the UI on exit. Ideally it would be configurable, of course. I don't really want to have to hit any keys to return to the mc UI.
