in /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.csh

I use ....


set MC_USER="`id | sed 's/[^(]*(//;s/).*//'`"

if ($?TMPDIR) then
setenv MC_PWD_FILE $TMPDIR/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$
else
setenv MC_PWD_FILE /tmp/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$
endif

/usr/bin/mc -P "$MC_PWD_FILE" $*

if (-r "$MC_PWD_FILE") then
setenv MC_PWD "`cat '$MC_PWD_FILE'`"
if ( -d "$MC_PWD" ) then
cd "$MC_PWD"
endif
unsetenv MC_PWD
endif

rm -f "$MC_PWD_FILE"
unsetenv MC_PWD_FILE

oops I prefer tcsh if you are using bash ...
in /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh


MC_USER=`id | sed 's/[^(]*(//;s/).*//'`
MC_PWD_FILE="${TMPDIR-/tmp}/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$"
/usr/bin/mc -P "$MC_PWD_FILE" "$@"

if test -r "$MC_PWD_FILE"; then
MC_PWD="`cat "$MC_PWD_FILE"`"
if test -n "$MC_PWD" && test -d "$MC_PWD"; then
cd "$MC_PWD"
fi
unset MC_PWD
fi

rm -f "$MC_PWD_FILE"
unset MC_PWD_FILE


..... most of my boxes have been upgrades through upgrades etc etc, so I
have no idea if thats what in a 'fresh install' on mc these days.

Thank for your help.
Unfortunatly my scripts (in mc.sh and mc.csh) are exactly the sameand do not
work.
Any other Idea ?

Use the <TAB> key before you close mc, the directory in active panel
will be forgotten and the directory in not active panel will be
remembered.

Or you could start mc this way 'mc ~/Dir1 ~/Dir2' then these two
directories will show up in the panels.

How did you install it? Where did you get it from and what is the exact
package name you are using, I'll see if it differs.

Mines... ls /var/log/packages/mc*
/var/log/packages/mc-4.6.1_20070309-i486-2

A better thing to do is set, say the left panel, as 'info' .. if he's
running the same version as I am, maybe this is where it is faulting, as I
have always used left panel for info so we only ever see one dir/file
listing, in the old days we used to have to modify as it never remembered
the current dir, but I thought we changed that a few years ago.
