"Cannot create temporary command file" error

[Dmitry Semyonov <Dmitry Semyonov oktet ru>]

Hello all!

mc-4.6.0 creates temporary files under "/tmp/mc-$USER" directory by
default. Old contents of /tmp is cleared from time to time via cron.
So, mc-* folders may be cleared too while mc is running (e.g. it is
opened on some console during several weeks). After that any attempt to
view e.g. *.bz2 file via F3 results in "Cannot create temporary command
file" error message.

Why not to check the /tmp/mc-$USER folder existence, and try to create
it first before showing the error?


...Bye..Dmitry.
