regex problem in the mc.ext.ini setup for "atrfs" (Atari ATR disk image filesystem tool) ?

[peterkaczorowski]

Hi!

I wrote a small tool that provides extfs/vfs support for ATR images, which are disk image files for Atari 8-bit computers. It can be used in CLI mode or integrated with Midnight Commander.

The project is available here: https://github.com/peterkaczorowski/atrfs

This is an example of usage:

I added the following blocks to mc.ext.ini:

[atr]
Shell=.atr
Open=%cd %p/atrrom://
View=%view{ascii} /usr/local/bin/atrfs extfs list %f

[atrrom-preview]
Directory=atrrom://
View=%view{ascii} /usr/local/bin/atrfs preview %f

The preview function is similar to cat, but it automatically detects text files. If the file is a text file, preview converts it from ATASCII to UNIX format.

However, the block or regex inside it does not work. Maybe someone can help me configure it correctly so that preview works in F3 View mode.

Best regards,
Piotr

[atr]
Shell=.atr
Open=%cd %p/atrrom://
View=%view{ascii} /usr/local/bin/atrfs extfs list %f

[atrrom-preview]
Directory=atrrom://
View=%view{ascii} /usr/local/bin/atrfs preview %f

"Directory" only works on physical directories, not VPATHs.

mc/src/filemanager/ext.c

Lines 946 to 947 in dc2dbc8

	found = S_ISDIR (mystat.st_mode)
	&& mc_search (pattern, NULL, vfs_path_as_str (filename_vpath), MC_SEARCH_T_REGEX);

I'm not sure if there is a way for us to relax this restriction and allow for virtual directories. Maybe @mc-worker would know.

It would be nice to have such function.
