JimC> In short, pathname tab completion used to ignore everything at JimC> and right of point whereas now it does not. Stefan> Indeed, it does now: it constrains the list of possible Stefan> completions to those that include the text after point. Stefan> E.g. if your minibuffer is "/foo/bat.c" you can place point Stefan> after "bat" and hit TAB to complete to a filename among Stefan> "bat*.c". Stefan> You can get the old behavior with one of the following: Stefan> - C-k TAB C-y Stefan> - customizing completion-styles: you can for example replace Stefan> `basic' by `emacs22' to get back Emacs-22's behavior. Note Stefan> that if you select `emacs21' you won't get this behavior Stefan> since Emacs-21 (and all previous Emacs) did not ignore the Stefan> text after point. Forwarded to the ding list in case any changes need to be made to how gnus prompts for output filenames.... -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
