Nobody forces you to use it, thats why config.c (if my memory serves me) was modifed to look for align_extensions=1 in ini. Id argue that the visual feedback aligned extensions provides far outweights 2 problem it introduces: first being the one you presented and second multiple dot's in filename. The idea is not mine, i stole it from win32 file manager FAR(http://www.rarsoft.com/far_manager.htm) all win32 filesystem can have spaces in filenames aswel, that didnt stop FAR author from introducing this behavior (again in FAR its optional aswel). I urge MC developers/users to try it, its good... really.. >B) -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
