    Hi people,
    i've been passively following the discussion on this mailing list and i have
    to say, debian-user is a nice environment to stay (in connection to Mr.
    Murdock's article on the future of Debian) :))
    However, i here's my problem:

    when i type a program name at the bash prompt and then auto-complete for a
    filename by pressing <Tab> it deliberately (i think) selects only those files
    that can be opened with the aforegoing program's name. Example, kuickview ->
    .jpg, .gif etc.
    Where can i tweak this bash behavior so that I could tell it to recognize .m2v
    files as to be opened with mplayer, for example?

    Regards,
    Boris.
