Package: wcd
Version: 3.2.0-1
Severity: normal
Wcd records information using absolute path names:
$ cd ~/some/project/tree/deep/here
$ wcd -l
Enter alias for current directory: test
$ cat $WCDHOME/.alias.wcd
/mnt/nfs/sripe-server/home/user/staff/depatment-xx/j/ja/jaalto/some/project/tree/deep/here
And this happens:
$ wcd test
/mnt/nfs/sripe-server/home/user/staff/depatment-xx/j/ja/jaalto/some/project/tree/deep/here$
Notice the prompt, where cursor sithe to the rightmost of ($). The typical bash
setting contains
the path name '\w' to keep track of current directory:
$ echo $PS1
\...@\h \w\$
SUGGESTION
Please substitute all path names so that the tilde(~) is used instead
of absolute path name. To my understanding all interactive *user*
shells (csh, tcsh, bash, ksh, pdksh etc.) support tilde expansion, so
this should not create interactive use problems. Alternativey add new
configuration option that would export path using tilde.
This idea would be same as applying following code, before storing the
PATH information:
pwd | sed "s,$HOME,~,"
Naturally implement in C, using getenv("HOME") ans some string
manipulation.
