Description

When trying to open file types like .jpg, .png, .pdf and some others via the Enter key or mouse double click nothing happens anymore. No external program gets started.

It seems that all file types in mc.ext which are using the type keyword are affected.

Problem is most probably related to the latest version of the file(1) utility. With file-5.41 opening of files works fine, with file-5.42 it doesn't work anymore.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this. mc with file-5.42 works fine for me.

After further investigation I found out that it happens only when there are some national characters (like ěščřžýáíé) in the file path.

It is a bug in latest version of the file utility (5.42) negatively impacting mc behavior. I have opened a ticket for this issue in the file project.
