Hi, [...] As it can be seen the patch posted by Andrew calls chmod() on the target file only if preserve attributes is set. However, it has to be called in both cases since the destination file is created with mode 600 initially due to security concerns - more info can be found in file.c .

[bug #18767] Panel sort order: fallback to name

2007-01-15 Thread Egmont Koblinger
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18767 (project mc): Thanks for the patch. I know about ls -U, but I think the audience of ls and mc might be a little bit different. For the ls command it might be considered as a filesystem debug option, or an option that can speed up scripts where the order isn't

Hi, A quite important note to the maintainers of the UTF-8 patches: When you use mc with the UTF-8 patches in UTF-8 mode, and copy or move a file whose name is not valid UTF-8 by pressing F5/F6 on it or selecting it with Insert and then doing F5/F5 on it, its filename gets mangled, invalid UTF-8

Any other opinions? I think the main question is what the main purpose of hardlinks is. Is it to (1) save disk space for files that actually happen to be the same at this very moment, but live separate lives? Or is it to be (2) a way to have one file accessible by more names, so that they live
