#3669: save-hook ignores %b expando after <change-folder> with tab complete ---------------------+---------------------- Reporter: dirkg | Owner: mutt-dev Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.22 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+----------------------
Comment (by dirkg): Only now I see it is a FAQ already. (Q: Why doesn't $index_format "%b" show some Maildir? A: Because "%b" extracts the string after the last slash of the mailbox). And as <complete> adds a '/' at the end of the path, %b isn't working. While I can deal with the advice not to add '/' at the end of a Maildir as a workaround for manual input, I think tab completion should "just work" regarding the %b expando. But what's the best approach here? Just remove any trailing "/" prior from path when b gets evaluated in hdrline.c? Or something more generic like imap_fix_path? The latter could also fix e.g. trailing "/" appearing in $status_format. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3669#comment:1> Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> The Mutt mail user agent
