After doing my billionth Exchange test restore I've just been thinking
how nice it would be to be able to use the tab key to complete filenames
during a restore. From what I can see though, the console is pretty
'dumb' in that it doesn't really understand bacula commands, it just
passes them to the director, so the console itself isn't even aware that
a restore is taking place. Is that right?

If so, then I think one way to do it would be that when the user hits
tab, the console sends a command to the director like 'give me all the
possible completion values for <what the user has typed so far>', and
the director would either respond with a 'nothing' answer if a restore
is not taking place, or with the list of matches. I guess it would also
be possible for the director to do command completion too.

Does anyone else think that this might be a worthwhile feature?
