Subject: Completion confusion with gnus-split-methods
Date: 24 Apr 1996 15:14:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <x0ybnls20m.fsf@doctor.sdsu.edu> (raw)

I've been discussing this with Lars and so far we haven't come up with
a good solution...

Normally gnus-summary-save-article displays a prompt like:

    Save in Unix mail file: (default file) ~/News/

But, when gnus-split-methods has more than one match there is
no default and thus the prompt is:

    Save in Unix mail file: 

At first I didn't know what was going on, but pressing TAB made it
clear that gnus was performing completion of the matching
gnus-split-methods files.

Lars and I haven't been able to come up with a better way handle
the situation.  Some ideas are:

    Save in Unix mail file: (default file1 file2 file3) ~/News/

    Save in Unix mail file: (3 matches) ~/News/

    Save in Unix mail file: (not unique) ~/News/

    Save in Unix mail file: (TAB for completions) ~/News/

    A completions buffer

    Leave it as-is

Any suggestions?
