emacs-21.2
I have a directory with two files in it: build.err and build.log
When I try to visit a file in this directory I hit the letter b
followed by space to complete. I expect the completion to take me to
the . after build. But it always completes on build.err It's like
it's told to ignore .log files.
Is there a way to turn this behavior off? I looked in the manuals but
found nothing.
TIA

Why does your subject line say that it's ignoring .err files? :)

See the variable completion-ignored-extensions.
