I don't know why it is done this way, but changing it is easy. The lines printed by complete -p are actual bash builtin command lines, that you can edit and run. So just run this: complete -o filenames -d -F _ooexp_ oocalc and bash will now show files starting with "." when completing (You can do similar things for the other OO commands). For permanence, add this line to your .bashrc after /etc/bash_completion is sourced, to override whatever it does. I'm too lazy to track down why the -X exclusion is being used.

The problem for oocalc is when the directory begins with a dot (.) and partially given, eg oocalc .per[TAB] won't auto-complete but oocalc time[TAB] will auto-complete Same applies to oowriter Thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I personally verified his empirical data (-;)) by creating an empty directory on my machine and "touching" two files, 'datafile.dat' and 'datafile.txt". oocalc will not autocomplete for the former but will autocomplete for the latter. Is your problem related to file suffixes or to something else entirely? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Clarification of the problem: if I do ls .per it completes the directory (.personal) but if I try oocalc .per it doesn't complete. If I try other commands, eg emacs .per they seem to complete okay Thanks, M

Thanks, Is it only failing for a specific set of filenames (OOo)? If so, there has to be a file at "/etc/bash_completion.d/ooffice.sh" for that purpose, installed by "openoffice.org-common" package. Otherwise, if completion is not working at all, chances are that during upgrade your /etc/bash.bashrc was overwritten/changed so that the completion part was commented out (I think that is the default on vanilla installs?).
