Detailsrename's bash-completion is faulty. Completing a filename
does not work. A TAB has no effect for the first two arguments, if they exist. When completing with no argument it completes "expression" and then "replacement" like so: rename TAB rename expression TAB rename expression replacement after which you can press TAB again to actually complete filenames. I'm using util-linux 2.23-2 and I think this happened with the last upstream version update from .22 to .23, because it worked a couple of months ago. |

Seems like it's working as intended. What do you propose the completions would be for the expression and replacement?

Hi Dave, I guess my usage has been different than what was intended but I mostly used it to rename filenames with starting patterns and thus completing filenames as well in the first two arguments was more useful to me, so I could change them after completion. I see now what I'm asking for is more of a feature request, but that was the behaviour it showed some time ago.
