Description

I already report related bugs #2773 and #2772 but now want that team make clear statement in docs (guaranty) about priority of mc.ext conflicting entries.

I use system (Debian) mc.ext with personal tweaks:

  $ cat /etc/mc/mc.ext $skel/.config/mc/mc.ext > ~/.config/mc/mc.ext

After experimenting I found that last entry have priority over upper.

But there are no any guaranties in docs or MC Trac.

About same keyword:

shell/.doc
  Open=echo SHELL 111
shell/.doc
  Open=echo SHELL 222

or about different keywords:

shell/.doc
  Open=echo SHELL
regex/\.[dD][oO][cC]$
  Open=echo REGEX

or about include priority:

include/funny
  Open=echo FUNNY pre 111
shell/.fun
  Include=funny
include/funny
  Open=echo FUNNY post 222
include/funny
  Open=echo FUNNY post 333

or about merge of options:

shell/.doc
  Open=echo OPEN
shell/.doc
  View=echo VIEW

Change History

Also interesting case:

shell/.doc
  Open=echo OPEN 111
  Open=echo OPEN 222

and:

shell/.doc
  Open=echo OPEN 111
  Include=xxx-include
