Hi,

thanks, I will change )LIB to ]LIB and make )LIB APL2 compliant.
In )LIB no extension will be shown and a + will be printed after the
workspace name if both an .apl and an .xml exist in the directory.

Dear David,

I proposed something similar to your proposal before but it was nixed.  My current proposal allows for differences of opinion as this issue is becoming increasingly problematic to me.

Not displaying the .xml or .apl is a new idea - one that is also important to me.

Thanks.

As much as I agree with the notion of cleaning up the )LIB display, I'm not a fan of using configuration options to change UI behavior. May I suggest an alternative?

1) Change the )LIB command to behave as-if GNU APL only deals with workspace files.

2) Add a new command - )LIBX, perhaps - to show all of the files that GNU APL may load.

Subject: [Bug-apl] Notes on )LIB

Greetings,

I split my large utilities ws into many package ws'.  Now my )LIB command is becoming unwieldy.  I noticed the language manual states that )LIB returns an alphabetized list.  That is the first issue.

I would really prefer not to see .bak files or really _any_ other file that can't be loaded by APL.  If I have 8 workspaces, I am seeing 16 files in random order.  I would love to have some configuration options to show what I see with )LIB as follows.

LIB_EXTENSIONS = set to a list of file extensions to show during )LIB.  If nothing is set, show all files.

SHOW_EXTENSION = if set to NO, do not show file extensions so that my workspace "Utils.xml" would just be displayed as "Utils".

(Yes, I know I could have Utils.apl and Utils.xml.  If I hide the extension - it is my problem.)

Thanks.

Blake
