- added --delimiter command-line option. Configures delimiter string on |
|
219 |
|
writing out list of paths (like on `-f` switch) (thanks to Jeet Sukumaran, |
|
220 |
|
a.k.a. jeetsukumaran); |
|
221 |
|
- added --choose-files and --choose-dir command-line switches to specify output |
|
222 |
|
location for names of selected files or last visited directory |
|
223 |
|
respectively (thanks to Jeet Sukumaran, a.k.a. jeetsukumaran); |
|
224 |
|
- added --on-choose command-line switch to execute a command on selection |
|
225 |
|
rather than opening it (thanks to Ross Hadden, a.k.a. rosshadden); |
|
226 |
|
- added %FOREGROUND FUSE mounting option, which supersedes %CLEAR and fixes |
|
227 |
|
issue with passing input to FUSE mounter (thanks to Johannes, a.k.a. |
|
228 |
|
johannesmeng); |
|
229 |
|
- removed per-view last search pattern. Don't worry, you probably won't even |
|
230 |
|
notice it: this doesn't affect regular use case, rather more exotic one, |
|
231 |
|
which is hard to notice; |
|
232 |
|
- better handling or unexpectedly unavailable directories on startup and while |
|
233 |
|
running (thanks to willemw12); |
|
234 |
|
- define $VIFM_FUSE_FILE environment variable for external commands to |
|
235 |
|
communicate path to file used to initiate FUSE mounting of directory we're |
|
236 |
|
in (thanks to astrell); |
|
237 |
|
- allowed having multiple file viewers with same rules for choosing them at |
|
238 |
|
run-time as for file associations (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
239 |
|
- redirect both standard output and error streams from viewers (already was the |
|
240 |
|
case for Windows); |
|
241 |
|
- handle commands that are too long to be passed directly to the shell by |
|
242 |
|
breaking them into list of arguments if possible (thanks to filterfalse). |
