Re: Re: found problem in cygwin 1.3.14-1...

I don't think so. I think it's bug as shown below:

===========================================================


root@KIRIN ~
$ cd Shared\ Documents//ftp/cygwin/

root@KIRIN ~/Shared Documents/ftp/cygwin
$ ls
cygipc-1.11-1.tar
ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fmirrors%2fsources.redhat.com%2fcygwin
setup.exe
setup.log
setup.log.full

root@KIRIN ~/Shared Documents/ftp/cygwin
$ ./setup.log
./setup.log       ./setup.log.full

root@KIRIN ~/Shared Documents/ftp/cygwin
$ ./setup.log

===========================================================

I don't think setup.log and setup.log.full should be with execute permission 
but not setup.exe as shown above. It's a bug!

Jason,

In the command position command completion only includes files with execute 
permission.

Since Cygwin 1.3.13, "ntsec" is on by default, when in the past it was off by 
default. No doubt your files don't have explicit execute permissions.

You'll need to add explicit execute permissions to ".exe" files and scripts to 
get them to be expanded by filename completion in the way you want.

I make a very quick scan of the READLINE section of the BASH manual and didn't 
see a way around this, but the sub-section "Programmable Completion" might 
hold an option / answer I didn't notice.

No more tab in bash shell available.

I can't use tab to search programs like shutdown.exe by simply type the 'tab"
key after typing "shu" as before:

============================================

$ ls /bin/sh{TAB]
sh.exe        shar.exe      shred.exe
sha1sum.exe   showfigfonts  shutdown.exe

tsfu@KIRIN ~/Shared Documents/pub
$ shu[TAB]

==================================

No response at all.

I could do so with 1.3.12 or before. In short, the "tab" function of bash no
longer works properly as before.
