To get more information, see ticket #1851. WARNING: VFS paths now handled as vfsprefix1://vfsdata/vfsprefix2://vfsdata (see #2361). Also, 'bindings' user file was renamed to 'mc.ext', so you need search in this file all Open=file.ext#vfsprefix and replace them to Open=file.ext/vfsprefix:// After this you should rename your 'bindings' file to 'mc.ext'. Old-style paths are handled just in 'Directory hotlist' dialog, but you couldn't mix URL-like and old style path elements in one path string. Support of old-style paths will be removed in next major release (probably in 4.9, who knows...) WARNING: keybinding names was renamed to provide some unification (see #2511). The correspondence of old and new keybinging names are described in doc/keybind-migration.txt file and in doc/keybindMigration web page.
