Well, ish. The filenames are printed in a fullscreen altscreen `dialog`-based format, so when you start a new shell it has flipped away from that altscreen and the filenames are no longer visible. You'd have to have remembered to copy and paste them (especially given as the /tmp/fileXXXX one is not easily memorable), if you wanted to do this. A quick fix would be to have ucf print them to the terminal *after* it has flipped back out of altscreen mode, just before it runs the $SHELL, so then they user would have them visible on scrollback. However, while we're here, I still believe it would be a useful option to add - see also #919885 and #472996 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919885 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=473996 -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/
