Re: mc.ext.ini - new format causes problems

Hi Yury,
Sorry for not making myself clear enough. What doesn't work is that if I have defined an entry for opening e.g.
a text file with the extension ".txt", like this:

[txt]
Shell/.txt
Open=openfile.sl %f

The "openfile.sl" script should open a file with this extension in my editor. Of course I have made sure that it works from the
command line.

But in mc, nothing happens when I type <enter> on a *.txt file. This used to work fine. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Morten

I don't understand your question. The new format is documented in the
file, you can just take any of the existing sections as an example:

https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/blob/master/misc/mc.ext.ini.in

What is it exactly that you have tried and what doesn't work?
