Thanx !
With this information it was easy to manipulate the section [Dir Hist New
Left Panel] within ~/.mc/history to contain the directory which I want to
appear in the left panel.
And now it works like a breeze !
regards, Marc-Oliver Ihm
Background: I use mc within an interactive perl-script. At some point the
user should get the chance to copy files from one directory (lets say A) to
the other (say B) and so I invoke mc. However, here it is crucial that the
users copies from A to B (and not from B to A). To make things easy for
users I just want to issue something like "please use mc to copy from the
left to the right panel" from within my script. But then I need to be sure,
that directory A is presented within the left panel under all
circumstances.

x is the directory on the active panel. If you have "Auto save setup"
enabled in the Options->Configuration menu, then the active panel is the
panel that was active last time you were using mc.

I don't know of any way short of disabling "Auto save setup" alltogether
or setting "current_is_left=1" in the "[Dirs]" section of ~.mc/ini from a
script before you run mc.

Check create_panels().
