Bash 3.2 does not have associative arrays, so we hack around that by using
generic varibale names like `opts__$cmd`. We also don't support the "?" alias
anymore.
This new alternative to _showdiff takes care of formatting and is better at
highlighting differences for non-string fields. This takes care of the issue
where "True -> False" would have everything but the "e" highlighted.
This is mainly for backwards compatibility. It's also an effort to reduce the
support burden; this way, I can say "your config directory is ~/.config/beets"
without needing to ascertain whether someone is on a Mac.
The command prints a shell script that provides completion for the `beet`
command. To test it run `eval "$(beet completion)"` in your shell.
I also included some crude testing for this. The `test/test_completion.sh`
script runs tests in a shell and exit with a non-zero status code if the tests
fail. It assumes that the completion script is already loaded in the executing
shell.
As of now the completion only works for bash 4.1 and newer.
SQLite store dates as epoch time offsets in UTC. By converting date
interval endpoints to UTC epoch time in Python, using the SQLite date
functions isn't necessary any more.
Beets stores all its data in the `BEETSDIR` directory. The default is
determined by the system:
* `%APPDATA%\beets` on Windows. If the `APPDATA` environment variable is
not set it falls back to `~\AppData\Roaming\beets`.
* `$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/beets` on UNIX. If the `XDG_CONFIG_DIR` environment
variable is not set it falls back to `~/.config/beets`
* `~/Library/Application Support/beets` on OSX
The default can be overwritten using the `BEETSDIR` environment variable.
The user configuration is read from `$BEETSDIR/config.yaml`. Additional
configuration files that overwrite options from the user configuration may
be specified using the `--config` command line options.
All relative paths in any configuration are resolved relative to `BEETSDIR`.
Perhaps we should use this for other commands also. One outstanding issue is
strange highlighting (e.g., "True -> False" helpfully shows that the "e" did
not change).
