Re: [Bug-apl] Limit what )LIB shows

[Blake McBride]

Dear Juergen,

Okay.  I see.  But this does lead to one more question.  Presumably, if a .apl and .xml file exists for the same workspace _and_ the user specifies the full file name (with the .apl or .xml) then you wouldn't have to issue an error about the two versions of the same ws since the user specified exactly which to load.  Is that true?

Thanks.

Hi Blake,

In MS windows, file extensions are everything (so important that they
have spent extra efforts to hide them for the dumb user).

In Linux they are more like a convention but not a must. GNU APL searches
first for a file with the name provided by the user and only looks for .xml or
.apl files if no file with the name given originally is present.

Therefore files Editor.apl~ and gg can be )LOADed and )COPYd and are
therefore shown. I might hide files starting with '.' (current only directories
./ and ../ are hidden) but I am not sure. They can be useful at times.

Greetings,

)LIB should only show .xml and .apl files and not any other files.  For example:

      )LIB

Devices.xml       KeyedFiles.apl    box.xml  boxing.apl      file       Editor.xml        gg

 Editor.apl~ and gg should not be displayed.  )LIB displays workspaces and not files.

Thanks.
