Bug Description
Binary package hint: bash-completion
wxmaxima (which is a great graphical frontend for the even greater mathematical package maxima) accepts only wxmaxima- and maxima-Files as command line parameters and doesn't support any command line options save from that.
The advantage of writing an autocompletion rule that offers files as command line parameters for wxmaxima that this program can actually open would be that this rule excludes files generated by the html- and LaTeX-export functionality - that typically differ from the project's name only by their extension and by the fact that they - although they contain the complete text of the project - no longer can be opened by wxmaxima itself.
Will add a suitable rule for wxmaxima to this bug report. The only thing that might be left to do - partially since I didn't know how to do this and partially since I was not sure if excluding directories from autocompletion might prove to be a good idea in the first place - is to exclude directories ending in _img: They are generated during html export and only contain bitmap images of the formulae.
