Please always specify the version of the software for which you are reporting the problem. Not doing so assumes that all versions (even those that you have never seen) have the same problem. It also discourages developers from making the changes, since the users don't see the difference anyway. I have fixed the problem you are describing and committed the change to CVS. The snapshot at http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/mc/ should have this problem fixed. The solution was to run background programs from subshell, i.e. instead of this line: Open=soffice %f & the following line should be used: Open=(soffice %f &) This was done for some programs (ee) but not for the others (staroffice). Now it's done even for those programs that don't need it (e.g. realplayer) so that the future contributors won't make this error again. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
