Hello!

Yes and no.
Both of them are commanders.

The midnight commander is a famous and oldest Norton Commander clone for linux and all unix based systems.
Runs in terminal, so it is sometimes called cli commander --> command line interface commander.

Tux commander a new graphical commander but is was not developed anyway so it is not feature rich.

The MC is the best for terminal, console work, Tux commander is for beginners.

I may suggest Double Commander is for everyone!

https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/

Dowload, unpack and use... so simple and fullfeatured...

Hello all.

i have just compiled mc-4.8.22 for slacko/slackster-700.
Un-tested on other Pups.

The formula I have used for compilation is

Code: Select all

Compilation formula
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-static=no --sysconfdir=/etc \ 
--enable-charset --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-mclib --enable-aspell \
--enable-vfs-undelfs --with-gnu-ld --with-x

Summary of compilation, given by the "configure" command:
  Assertions:                 yes
  Unit tests:                 no ('Check' testing framework not found)
  File system:                Midnight Commander Virtual Filesystem
                              cpio, extfs, fish, ftp, sfs, sftp, tar, undelfs
  Screen library:             S-Lang
  Mouse support:              gpm and xterm
  X11 events support:         yes
  With subshell support:      yes
  With background operations: yes
  Internal editor:            yes with aspell support
  Diff viewer:                yes
  Support for charset:        yes
  Search type:                glib-regexp
I found the various elements of this formula at the Linux-from-Scratch
site and in the mc docs.

In no order:
-- It has a mc.desktop file and and mc.sh script so it can be started
from the WM menu.
-- I have put all the localizations in a NLS pet.
-- I have added ~ 60 Kb's worth of "skins" from various sources,
including 2-3 that allow a very nive transparency effect (IMO).

You can download the exec of the latest mc (as of this writing) from:
http://augras.eu/puppy_linux/musher0/Sl ... PupLin.pet
and the substantial locales package from
http://augras.eu/puppy_linux/musher0/Sl ... in_NLS.pet

The index in the OP has been edited.

Enjoy!

Just noticed, at least in my voidlinux mc 4.8.23 version http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 78#1035078, that 'undelete' is no longer available :(

Otherwise working really well. Just to note that when run within a terminal screen within X you can use the mouse to control it. My voidlinux setup uses tilda as the terminal so shift-ctrl C to copy (V to paste) all work fine, as does the right click context cut/paste options. Another nice feature of tilda is that you can hover the mouse over a url link and it will underline, clicking it opens the link in chrome (or whatever). Similarly clicking a .mp4 file for instance (or pressing enter) in mc will open the file in vlc (or whatever file association you set). I tend to keep all my bookmarks in a text file and display that within a terminal session so it's easily edited whilst all of the links are clickable.

Once you're familiar with mc its very functional. Its commonly available also, and works well whether you're running it locally or remotely.

I have tilda terminal set to F1 (toggles show/hide) and run a tui (ncurses text user interface) in one tilda tab so other commands are more easily opened when just using the mouse. mc as the file manager, skippy for window switcher, xlunch for program launcher is a great combination IMO. Works well whether you're predominately using the mouse ... or predominately using the keyboard. Does involve a learning curve, but you're soon running things intuitively/quickly and at that point persistence pays off and rox/other file managers seem like hard work by comparison.

Under wiaks voidlinux builds I didn't even have rox installed, was just using mc. However I've just installed rox as a form of image preview option within mc

Within mc.ext I've set all image formats to a Include (common) option and where that common option has

View=rox %d

So in mc, clicking View or pressing F3 (View) whilst a image file format is highlighted opens up rox for that entire folder. In rox I've set large thumbnails and Display/Show Thumbnails. And then used Display/Save Current Display Settings ... so that rox starts with those options in that folder by default every time. I only have a few folder that contain images so I repeated that for those other folders. Set rox's Run Action for image files (MIME types) and you're good to go.

So now in mc, in a folder with images opening View results in rox showing the large scale thumbnails for all of the images, and clicking any one does the action associated in rox (such as open mtpaint) :)

As well, one could set mc to use qiv or other image viewer for this purpose.
