HTML files not open in MC

Hi,

In the file manager program "mc" version 4.6.0 html files will not open
anymore when clicked on. Neither in X nor in console mode. In the latter lynx
should come into play.

My settings in ~/.mc/bindings are:

# html
regex/\.([Hh]tml?|HTML?|stm?)$

Open=if echo "%d/%p" | grep ^ftp; then $viewer %d/%p; else $viewer
file:
%p; fi

Open=if [ x$DISPLAY = x:0.0 ]; then dillo file:%f; else lynx %f ; fi
View=%view{ascii} lynx -dump -force_html %f;

Run with AppletViewer=appletviewer %f

View with lynx=lynx file://%f

With this I get the error:
/tmp/mc-heisspf/mcexty1yKKb: line 2: file:Exotismus.html: command not found

and the file /tmp/mc-heisspf/mcexty1yKKb is:
#! /bin/sh
if echo "/home/peter/HTMLs/Exotismus.html" | grep ^ftp; then $viewer
/home/peter
/HTMLs/Exotismus.html; else $viewer file:Exotismus.html; fi

I had the problem before with dillo when I upgraded to 8.4. this was solved
adding "file:" in the line "then dillo file:%f", however, lynx always worked
in the console.

Now if I remove "file:" in the line "..else $viewer %p; fi" I get the error:
../Exotismus.html: Permission denied

and the /tmp/mc-heisspf/* reads:
if echo "/home/peter/HTMLs/Exotismus.html" | grep ^ftp; then $viewer
/home/peter
/HTMLs/Exotismus.html; else $viewer Exotismus.html; fi

Lynx still does not come up on the console and I get the error message:
Permission denied.

It seems in the else statement the $viewer does not get anymore the path where
the file is based.

So I added %d/ to "else $viewer %p" in .mc/bindings and I get Permission
denied, adding file:%d/%p I get command not found. In the /tmp/mc-heissp/* in
the else statement $viewer has then the correct directory path either with or
w/o file:.

How to resolve?

Thanks & regards

Re: HTML files not open in MC

I solved the problem. My ~/.mc/bindings was apparently an old version. Copying
/usr/share/mc/mc.ext to ~/.mc/bindings and making the necessary corrections
makes diilo and lynx pop-up in split seconds again.

# html
regex/\.([Hh]tml?|HTML?|stm?)$
Open=if test -n "dillo" && test -n "$DISPLAY"; then (dillo
file://%d/%p &) >/dev/null 2>&1; else lynx %f 2>/dev/null || lynx -force_html
%f; fi View=%view{ascii} lynx -dump -force_html %f

Re: HTML files not open in MC

Hi,

I solved the problem. My ~/.mc/bindings was apparently for the old version of
mc. Copying /usr/share/mc/mc.ext to ~/.mc/bindings and making the necessary
corrections makes diilo and lynx pop-up in split seconds again.

# html
regex/\.([Hh]tml?|HTML?|stm?)$
Open=if test -n "dillo" && test -n "$DISPLAY"; then (dillo
file://%d/%p &) >/dev/null 2>&1; else lynx %f 2>/dev/null || lynx -force_html
%f; fi View=%view{ascii} lynx -dump -force_html %f

Ergo, if you upgrade upgrade the settings as well.
