Autocompletion broke completion for paths (file, destination, database)

There's no much to do here on bibo's side. The topic is discussed on click's issues (pallets/click#780 & pallets/click#782). Just wait for a patch upstream...

It's a bit of a bummer that click still doesn't support auto-completion for paths. I wonder if we should wait with alpha release until this is implemented.

I agree that this is a pain, and that bibo isn't the place to patch this up - that being said, if this blocked alpha (which I think is reasonable), that'd be a shame.

I suppose it'd be easy enough to add an autocomplete function to the add click.option that just transformed current input into a glob and prompted matches. Maybe, a plugin could be added as dependency which handles this until click is sorted, e.g. somehow decorating the existing add command to provide a DIY auto-complete layer, creating a bespoke addfile (not ideal)....

I'm up for implementing a temporary solution. Don't think it should be a plugin. The goal is to give users a pleasant interface without plugins and use plugins for extras. Do you want to give it a shot? I can also do this, up to you :-)

I'll give it a shot! 👍
