Works fine for me.

Please check [x] Save file position option and permissions of ~/.local/share/mc/filepos.

comment:2 Changed 12 years ago by Polynomial-C

"Save file position" is checked. The permissions of ~/.mc/filepos are good as well. But I am using --with-homedir=.mc when compiling mc. Does that make any difference?

Аh, indeed. Standalone mcedit doesn't use saved file position.

  • Status changed from closed to reopened
  • Cc smirta@… added
  • Summary changed from mc-4.8.4 - mcedit no longer remembers line number the user left the previous edit to mc-4.8.11 - mcedit no longer remembers line number the user left the previous edit
  • Version changed from 4.8.4 to 4.8.11
  • Milestone 4.8.5 deleted
  • Resolution fixed deleted

Problem is reappeared in 4.8.11 (and in 4.8.9 also). But now file position is not remembered neither in standalone mcedit nor in editing (and viewing) from mc.

"Save file position" option is checked and permissions of ~/.local/share/mc/filepos is 664 (belongs to user).

P.S. Tested on fresh mc-4.8.11 installation from sources with default flags.
P.P.S. ~/.local/share/mc/filepos is created (if it is absent) with permissions 640 but it is empty.

Replying to Saha:

Unreproducable for me. Everything works fine.

I am sorry: the problem is appeared only on GlusterFS file system (mounted through Fuse).
I will check more accurately the origin of the problem...

comment:13 follow-up: ↓ 14 Changed 10 years ago by Saha

I am really sorry: it seems to be a problem with file system. Please close this bug
