Description (last modified by andrew_b) (diff)
With mc 4.8.26, the support for the Fish shell improved considerably. However, every time I start mc, for a split second, the following warning shows up:
Warning: Cannot change to <path>..
Yet, the panels are pointing to the correct <path> and the shell pwd is also correct. So, in summary, this just seems to be an annoying message.

To add some more information, a related problem occurs when a command from the user menu is executed. It will work sometimes, but do nothing the first time the command is executed after the active window is changed or the mc window is resized. This problem, as well as the "cannot change to" problem described above is worked around by the attached patch.

The window resize bug that is referred to in this ticket is fixed by: http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4372
mc_fish_first_command.diff doesn't seem to fix the "Cannot change..." error for me.
I poked around and eventually figured out why mc gives this error with fish. It seems like fish takes a second or two to start up, so it doesn't respond properly to mc at first. I tried to come up with a quick fix, but this quick fix has a side effect of making mc take a few seconds to start when running fish, which I think is much more annoying than a little error message.
