[Richard Stallman]

My default directory is ~/ and I tyoe C-x C-f /med TAB.

It used to give me ~//media/.  Another TAB would give me
~//media/rms/.

But now it gives me ~//media and more TABs does not get me any further
than that.

I think this is related to Tramp, but I don't use Tramp.

If you don't type double slash and press TAB what happens then?

Instead of ~//media, try ~/media<TAB>

This is Tramp indeed. It knows a new method "media", which is in the way
now for you. If you enter another "/" after "...media" in your
minibuffer, TAB will continue to complete as you know.

If you don't use Tramp, just set tramp-mode to nil in your .emacs.

Really?  I always thought that the leading slash in "/media" causes
Emacs to disregard the "~/" part, and interpret the rest as relative
to "/", the filesystem root?  When I type '/' on my system, Emacs
gives the preceding "~/" part a shadow-y color (and on a TTY places it
in {..}), to show that it is being ignored.

How come Richard gets ~//media instead? he should get /media, without
the leading "~/".  What am I missing?

The leading "~/" string is greyed out. That's expected.

If that's the case, fine.  I thought it wasn't, as Richard was
mentioning it, although it is effectively deleted.

This is an unfortunate choice of name.  GNU/Linux (at least some distros)
automounts disks and memories under /media, which means that this Tramp
method name is going to collide regularly.

How about if we look at changing the name in Tramp.  Can you see
another name that fits what it does?
(What does it do?)

Makes sense, yes.

> (What does it do?)

It gives you file access to USB mounted media devices, like digital
cameras, Android and i(Pad)OS devices. Usually, those devices do not
appear locally under /media, that's why I have added them in Tramp.

The mount protocols are different depending on the device, they could be
"mtp" or "gphoto2". In order to hide these details, I have chosen the
Tramp connection method "media", which DTRT for whichever protocol. What
different Tramp connection name shall I use instead? I'm notorious bad
in selecting proper names.

Best regards, Michael.

Yes, that was something I took into account when I'vge created
"/media:". However, people typing "/dev TAB" will also be annoyed,
because it could complete to "/dev/" and to "/device:".

Meanwhile, I'm discussing with myself, whether "/mtp:" is acceptable. It
is the superior protocol. I hope I will win the discussion :-)

I thought about that and concluded that there is little occasion to
enter /dev in a minibuffer in Emacs.  (Have you ever done so?)
So it is a potential problem that won't actually happen, and that makes
it ok.

I see no problem with it.

But why do you type "/med TAB" instead of "med TAB"?

And I'm unable to reproduce the behaviour you're describing in older
Emacs versions -- I tried this in Emacs 25.1, and `C-x C-f /med TAB'
just gives me "No match", even if ~/media exists.

Because he wants to enter the "/media" directory.

"/med" has nothing to do with "~/media".

And Tramp's "media" method exist only in the master branch.

The assumption, I believe, is that the target folder is under /media/,
while the initial prompt is "~/".  Starting with a slash causes the
initial prompt to be "greyed out" (i.e. rendered ineffectual unless the
user backspaces).

As Richard explained in <E1ksevx-0003Un-Sf@fencepost.gnu.org>, some
GNU/Linux distros mount external media under /media/$USER, so typing
/med TAB greys out the initial ~/ and used to complete to /media/$USER
(if $USER is the only folder under /media).  Now users need to type an
additional slash to disambiguate from "/media:".

Oh, I see.  I thought Richard wanted to get to a directory called
~/media/.

Yup; I've also got a /media/ directory, and I see the same thing.
/media/ is a common directory on many systems -- would it make sense to
rename the Tramp method to something other than media:?

Yes, as I said already to Richard. I just miss a better name. Any
proposals?

(Internally, the GVFS methods mtp and gphoto2 are used. Although I have
sympathy for the name mtp, it would be wrong wrt gphoto2.)

Going by Wikipedia, maybe /mtp: isn't too off-target?

I have no expertise whatsoever about these protocols; I only learned
about them just now.  Are there users we could poll to find a method
name that makes sense?  I've looked at 2020-01-22 "Add new Tramp method
"media"" (2d9d62bb24), but I could not see any bug ID, so I don't know
who we could turn to.

bug#45402: Rename Tramp method "media"

[Drew Adams]

It's no doubt too late now, at least in general,
but maybe it would make sense to use a prefix
for Tramp, kind of like what we do for libraries.

Besides being too late, I imagine someone will
say that that would be too verbose for users to
type, which is true.

But even a prefix of "t" might be sufficient to
usually distinguish Tramp's protocol names.  In
this case, ~//tmedia would mean Tramp's protocol
and ~//media would mean (change to) local
directory /media.

Yeah, it's ugly.  But the Tramp syntax is
apparently inherently ambiguous here (i.e., can
conflict with a dir name).

I might be missing something, but it seems to me like there is a rather
large design space for opt-in, backward-compatible ways to disambiguate
Tramp methods: off the top of my head, I could imagine e.g. a variable
(say "tramp-implicit-methods") which

- could default to t, meaning:

> always assume that /foo can actually mean /trampfoo for all foo's
> supported by Tramp

- could be set to a list of commonly used Tramp methods, e.g. '("ssh"
  "sudoedit"), meaning:

> when I type /ssh, assume that I can mean /trampssh; otherwise if I
> type /foo assume that I never mean /trampfoo

- could be set to nil, meaning:

> when I type /foo, I *never* mean /trampfoo for any foo supported by
> Tramp; I will always type out /trampfoo:

Or we could go the opposite route, with e.g. tramp-explicit-methods (nil
by default), which in the context of this report could be set to
'("media") so that /media can complete to /media/$USER, and users would
be required to type out /trampmedia: explicitly.

There are people who use Tramp, and there are people who don't. For the
latter, there is tramp-mode. Setting it to nil makes Tramp silent, in
all aspects.

Customizing which Tramp methods shall be used for completion is too
complicate for the majority of users I believe.

This exists already. Remove the "media" entry from tramp-methods, and
you're done.

Until now, it is just the "media" method which is too close to a
directory name. And this can simply be avoided; taking "media" off the
default values of tramp-gvfs-methods would deactivate it; users who want
to exploit it must activate it first.

But currently I'm thinking about Kévin's arguments to call it "mtp". It
was also my first choice, but I wanted to be fair to the "gphoto2" method.

This will always be the case. Once I got a bug report from a user, who
wanted to access a local directory "/ssh:example.com/", see
bug#31489. Achhhh ...

There was no external request, it was my own decision to add this Tramp
method.

Finally, I've converted "media" to "mtp" in Tramp. So what. Closing the bug.
