Hi Gustavo,
Hi Michael,
This is intended.
That's then cleared. Thank you for your answer.
There is no need for packages like counsel to check
(file-directory-p (expand-file-name "~/file.odt/"))
It is a misuse to add a slash to an existing regular file and pray
that
it works. There has been a similar error in ange-ftp, see
bug#56078. It
has fixed. I recommend to contact the counsel author for a fix.
I have done so: https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper/issues/2998
There might be people who wish to navigate into "odt", "exe", or "deb"
files. It shall be possible. It happens only if you access
"/path/to/file.odt/" (the trailing slash is important), for which
there
is no other desired behavior I could imagine.
Well, I'd say there's a difference between "being possible" and "being
the default". But I don't intend to fuss about it, as I do understand
your point of view, particularly given the answer above. It is a
consistent position. As I've said initially, I was surprised, but
reported just to check if things were really as intended.
I doubt that people would change such a user option. What would be the
use case? There is still tramp-archive-enabled, and if a package
really
really really wants to access "file.odt/" for another purpose than the
intended, the package shall let-bind this variable.
I was just thinking people might want different behaviors depending on
the file type. But I'm sure your knowledge of use cases for the feature
is much better than my "just got acquainted with the package" one. So
if you think this is of little use, I trust your call. ;-)
Best regards, Michael.
Best regards,
Gustavo.
