Re: [Ranger-users] Shell script over multiple files

[G Chandramouli]

When I updated the ranger, ( without changing files inside my .config/ranger directory)  it was still facing the same issue. However when I tried the 2nd suggestion along with the updated version it worked. Couldn't test suggestion-2 on earlier version as I purged the earlier version on my debian system (my bad).

 

Thanks,

Mouli

I think this has something to do with the way macros are expanded in
nested commands.  Try these:

1. switch to ranger from git (or upgrade it), as this sounds like a bug
that has been recently fixed.  Steps:
    1. git clone https://github.com/hut/ranger.git
    2. cd ranger
    3. sudo make install

2. Alternatively, replace %s with %%s

hut
