Hm, by this description I believe you also see directory names
as auto-completion possibilities. But I don't. For me the
new 'Run' dialog completion shows only the executables in
my PATH...
Am I missing something?
OK, this is what happens on my computer with the latest version of
next (before my patch).
Say I have a executable that is not in my path, it is in
/home/johann/installfiles/newprogram/src/newprogram
So I bring up the Run dialog and I type:
/ho<TAB>
wmaker completes this to:
/home
then I type:
/jo<TAB>
wmaker completes this to:
/home/johann
etc.etc. until we get to:
/home/johann/installfiles/newprogram/src/newprogram
But after each completion I have to manually type the "/" to get it to
complete the next directory.
After my patch I type:
/ho<TAB>
wmaker completes this to:
/home/ (note the trailing slash)
I type:
jo<TAB>
wmaker completes this to:
/home/johann/
etc. etc.
So yes, wmaker has always been able to complete directory names, all I
added is that directory names now have a trailing "/"; this does three
things, it
1) shows you that you are completing a directory and not a filename,
2) saves one character of typing, and
3) makes it behave more consistent with shell (bash) autocompletion
