Hello! Could you please comment your patch?
In particular, what's the meaning of ALIGN_EXT_2 and why it's a preprocessor directive rather than a variable that can be changed at the runtime? If it's possible to align extension in the custom mode (which has a half-decent user interface) is it really a good idea to add another undocumented variable that would affect all modes? Most importantly, I don't like the idea of the patch. UNIX filesystem doesn't distinguish extensions and doesn't treat the dot in a special manner. There are conventions (e.g. C files should end with ".c"), but I doesn't want MC users to be fooled by anybody who ignores those conventions. Nothing forbids using dots and spaces in any part of the filename. The following manes are valid: file.ext file .ext file.ext. file ext Aligning the extention may cause some of those filenames to look in exactly the same way on the screen. It is not Ok for a file manager. On the other hand, sorting by extension is Ok because it simply causes the entries to be sorted differently without changing their look. But it's implemeented already. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
