• [x] Issue exists on nnn master

Navigate to the bin directory and the preview pane shows ls: write error: Broken pipe.

@N-R-K or @luukvbaal can you please have a look?

@sud0xenn does it work with option -a?

Not sure what changed since, but the issue isn't reproducible anymore. Allow me to revert back all my configs and report back to see if I an reproduce it consistently.

EDIT: It seems like I can reproduce it for fraction of seconds when I keep holding the down navigation and the previews are generated rapidly. Probably the instantaneous processing time of the preview-tui plugin. There should be some milliseconds of threshold delay before processing the preview.

But the thing is back when I opened the issue, for the bin folder, that error was printed in the preview pane indefinitely.

Maybe because you don't have permission for /bin and some error was thrown. You can check if the issue persists if you start nnn as root.

You're correct, it doesn't happen as root. So then there's no way to fix it without editing the perms which I'd rather not mess with.

It shouldn't be trying to write anything to /bin though.

set -x NNN_FIFO '/tmp/nnn.fifo'

What are the perms of /tmp/nnn.fifo?

[N-R-K]

alias ls "tmux new-session nnn -deH -P p"

Also avoid aliasing system commands to something else. Can you try without the ls alias?

What are the perms of /tmp/nnn.fifo?

The perms are: prw------- 1 myuser myuser 0 Nov 10 15:46 /tmp/nnn.fifo

Same issue.
