This first post is just a copy of what I have already uploaded to the vectori mirror, but I'll keep adding to it as time goes on. Please feel free to add any of your own tips for running mc....
DSL mc does not include a menu or extensions file, but I've found that using them makes a HUGE difference in mc's power. The menu file (/home/dsl/.mc/menu) brings up a menu of actions which can be performed on the selected file(s) with the F2 key. The extensions file (/home/dsl/.mc/ext or /home/dsl/.mc/bindings?) lets you set the action performed on each filetype, depending on whether you choose to open (double-click or Enter/Return), view (F3), or edit (F4).
Here's a [relatively] short menu file which should help in dealing with a few common tasks:
EDIT: dead link, and the file has been lost =o(
This current file is slightly in need of repair as of July 31,2005, but it mostly works. The filetool part is broken, though, since it was changed to ".filetool.lst" in the latest DSL version (i'll fix it soon...just been busy with other stuff lately).
A future addition to the menu file will be the option to set a selected image file as background:
= f \.jpg$ | f \.png$
w Set as wallpaper
[ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && bsetbg -f %f
The mc man page (google.com/linux) explains in detail the format of the menu file, but basically it's something like this:
= f \.jpg$ | f \.png$
selected item is a file ending in either .jpg or .png
w Set as wallpaper
this is the displayed label. "w" is a hotkey.
[ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && bsetbg -f %f
this is the command performed on %f (the selected item).
= t d
u Create UCI package from current subdirectory
Pwd=`basename %d`
cd ../ && mkisofs -R -hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -pad "$Pwd" | \
create_compressed_fs - 65536 > "$Pwd.uci" && \
md5sum "$Pwd.uci" >"$Pwd.uci.md5.txt"
