I was comparing to bash completion on an empty string, which means it couldn't have checked if it's an executable when it listed, since it listed all. By the time it says "Display all 2800 possibilities? (y or n)" it has already weeded out all non-execs, and it's before that message appears that I can hear the hard drive going, not after. My computer generally feels fast, including working with files, and exebuf pops up instantaneously unless I haven't used it for a few hours, in which case it hits the hard drive for a few seconds before giving me the input dialog. -Dusik ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
