Description

https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/blob/master/misc/mc.ext.ini.in

# Sections are processed from top to bottom, thus the order is important.
# If there are more than one sections with the same name in this file, the first
# section will be used.

not working example (always utar instead of uar)

# override section
[ipk]
Shell=.ipk
Open=%cd %p/uar://
# default section
[ipk]
Shell=.ipk
Include=tar.gz

working example 1

# override section
[ipk_other]
Shell=.ipk
Open=%cd %p/uar://
# default section
[ipk]
Shell=.ipk
Include=tar.gz

working example 2

# override section
[ipk]
Shell=.ipk
Open=%cd %p/uar://
# default section
[ipk]
Shell=.ipk
#Include=tar.gz

Rule "Sections are processed from top to bottom, thus the order is important" not working for Section with Include pattern.

I wonder if the documentation is correct. I think it should be "the first that matches", but "the last with the same name". So your working example 1 is actually the correct and expected behaviour.

Is that what you had in mind, Andrew? If yes, then I could suggest a text change. Last time I reviewed it, it was just too much for me, and it seems that I've left some questionable grammar in there...

I inattentively read the GLib documentation. It says:

Note that in contrast to the Desktop Entry Specification, groups in key files may contain the same key multiple times; the last entry wins. Key files may also contain multiple groups with the same name; they are merged together.

"sections _are_ merged" in the examples.
however, i'm not sure i'd include the examples - i think the now correct description is pretty self-explanatory, so the examples are just noise one has to scroll past.

Replying to ossi:
