Re: hidden help in make
Yeah, I use a 1 TB spinning drive by USB. In Gimp with 6000x4000
images it's pretty slow but I just live with it, do less intermediate
saves. I haven't looked at their source but I think mc calls unzip,
seems like it's a dependency. Haven't messed with zips that big in a
few months.
I'm almost ready to put in a feature request to have mc work with adb
(for Android) in shell mode so you can plug in a phone and mc around.
Seems like it could be a filesystem plugin. You can do adb shell and
you're looking into the phone but you spent a lot of time doing cd
this and that and working blind. You can do adb push and pull for
file transfers.

No, I won't call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
