Re: Q on read-file-name and completion-ignored-extensions

[Luc Teirlinck]

It is always dangerous to jump into a long thread you have not read,
but, just in case it might be useful, here is part of what
`(elisp)File Name Completion' says about completion-ignored-extensions:

 -- User Option: completion-ignored-extensions
     `file-name-completion' usually ignores file names that end in any
     string in this list.  It does not ignore them when all the possible
     completions end in one of these suffixes.  This variable has no
     effect on `file-name-all-completions'.

Sincerely,

Luc.
