Re: [Ranger-users] ranger 1.6.0 on the horizon

[Johnathan Jenkins]

example, I make a dir, or use an existing one. Most often its something
I downloaded recently, like an archive that creates the dir "taco" in my
~/Downloads/ folder. (silly example but you get the idea). If I use cd
/~Downloads/taco then run ranger from within the dir, it fires up in
said folder no worries. Now I leave the terminal and delete that directory.
If I return to the first terminal thats in the same directory and reopen
ranger I get this

address@hidden [05:52:37] [~/Downloads/taco] 
-> % ranger

ranger crashed.  Please report this traceback at:

I understand this is totaly a weird usage situation and I explain myself
poorly, but thats what happens lol.
