Subject: Making file-patterns and tag-order work

Hello,
I would like completion to differentiate files according to some
globs. To this end, I've configured:
zstyle ':completion:*:argument-rest:' file-patterns '
*(-/):directories:directories
(*.(ba#k|old)|*~):backup-files:"backup files"
*.(l#[oa]|py[co]|zwc):compiled-files:"compiled files"
*.te#mp:temp-files:"temp files"
.*.sw?:vim-swap-files:"vim swap files"
%p:globbed-files *:all-files
and also went on to hide all these patterns from the catch-alls in
the last line (is there a way to do this without duplication?):
zstyle ':completion:*:argument-rest:(all|globbed)-files' ignored-patterns \
'((*.(ba#k|old)|*~)|*.(l#[oa]|py[co]|zwc)|*.te#mp|.*.sw?|*(-/))'
The relevant options in effect are:
auto_list no_list_ambiguous auto_menu no_menu_complete
no_bash_auto_list list_packed
and if I now try completion, I can confirm that these tags seem to
work (indentation added for clarity):
fishbowl:/tmp/cdt.6kIDed% cat ^D
directories
foobar/
backup files
foo.bk foo.old
compiled files
foo.a foo.la foo.lo foo.o foo.pyc foo.zwc
temp files
foo.tmp
vim swap files
.foo.txt.swp
files
foobar/ foo.c foo.txt g
(you can get the directory contents like this:
touch foo.a foobar foo.bk foo.c foo.la foo.lo foo.o foo.old \
foo.pyc foo.tmp foo.txt foo.zwc g .foo.txt.swp
)
I then went on to try to order the tags, because I want e.g. the
swap files to appear last:
zstyle ':completion:*:argument*' tag-order "
directories
globbed-files files all-files
backup-files
compiled-files
temp-files
vim-swap-files
"
Unfortunately, this does not work yet, and there are two problems:
1. the directories show up under 'files'. Is this because
directories are special (they could contain files), or am I doing
something wrong?
2. There is no change in the ordering. I've tried group-order too,
but no effect. What am I missing?
Thanks for any inputs!
