Hi David,
How does one clear `cur' for a folder? It can be set with `folder
42' though the mandatory line of output is annoying.
I just redirect the output to /dev/null.
Me too, in the expectation it contains just that one line.
There is a folder -noprint, currently undocumented. All it does now
is allow output of the folder stack while suppressing other output.
Maybe change it to suppress all output?
I don't notice a difference.
$ folder -noprint .
inbox+ has 6312 messages (1-7075); cur=7075; (others).
I think unless -push/-pop/-list is given then printsw++ causes -noprint
to be ignored?
When there is no current message, e.g. after `rmm', ~/.mh_sequences
still contains the old value and mark still lists it. For a new
folder, there is no .mh_sequences but once one's created it seems
cur never leaves it. If I delete the `cur:' line from .mh_sequences
then all seems well; mark still lists it but it's empty. Is that a
valid workaround?
That could cause confusion if there was nothing else in .mh_sequences:
/*
* If no mh-sequences file is defined, or if a mh-sequences file
* is defined but empty (*mh_seq == '\0'), then pretend folder
* is readonly. This will force all sequences to be private.
*/
if (mh_seq == NULL || *mh_seq == '\0')
set_readonly (mp);
Isn't that testing the profile entry that defines the name of the
sequences file?
The workaround for now would be to set cur: to something that isn't a
message. `mhpath new` will give you one, but as a full path. "cur:
0" seems to work.
Using `mhpath new's number would make cur be valid again should
something create that number. :-) I agree seq_init() seems to silently
ignore any sequence where m_atoi() returns <= 0.
if ((j = m_atoi (*ap)) > 0) {
This suggests `cur: 0' is fine, as is `cur: foo' as m_atoi() returns 0
on any non-digit. Not that I'm suggesting `foo'.
But we really should come up with an interface to do that. folder
-clearmessage? Or folder -clear, but that seems like it should clear
the current folder, too.
Perhaps have mark work on it as it already partially does. `mark -seq
cur -delete all'.
Cheers, Ralph.
