Saving midnight commander settings

[squarefrog]

Each time I restart my server I have to re-add my favourite folders to mc. Is there anyway to save a config file for this so I don't have to recreate them each time?

I've not tried this, but I assume it is saving to the home folder of the root user. That folder will not survive a reboot, but you can copy it somewhere on /boot (flash) and then copy it back on reboot with a command in the go file, /boot/config/go.

Thanks trurl I finally got round to doing this. The file I was looking for was in

 

~/.config/mc/hotlist

 

So I simply ran the following

 

cp ~/.config/mc/hotlist /mnt/cache/appdata/mc/mc_hotlist

 

Then added the following to bottom of the go file (/boot/config/go):

 

# Copy midnight commander hotlist
cp /mnt/cache/appdata/mc/mc_hotlist /root/.config/mc/hotlist

 

I think in future I'll probably create a symbolic link to this file so I dont have to manually copy the file any time I add a directory path.
