right?
I don't believe so. When you exit from mplayer, you return to the MC
shell still running MC. MC fires off the selected file viewer in a subshell.
I know I routinely start MC, then run a shell script I codged together
from one I found on the internet that generates a playlist from my music
collection and proceeds to start playing it in random order using
mplayer. When I quit from mplayer, I'm back at MC ...
Inside emacs you don't have to leave dired mode.
Yeah, but
mplayer can read more file formats.
But I always thought emacs was a complete operating system unto itself! ;-)
