System Information
Archlinux

Blender Version
Broken: 2.74

Short description of error

The file browser doesn't behave the same between opening and appending when using tab completion.

Open behavior:

Append behavior:

It seems you need to click on the gifs to see them animated.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Press Ctrl O/Shift F1
Note that when opening the file bar is pre-filled with the name of the first file (?). Append doesn't do this.
Type in the first few characters of a file and press Tab, then enter. Open works as expected, but append doesn't select the file and throws an error instead of entering the .blend.

Issue is not exactly what you report here - but there is still an issue. ;)

In fact, in 'append' mode, blend file should not autocomplete in 'file' area, but in 'directory' one, since you do not append a .blend file, but one of its items…

Will see what happens here.

Note: switched to TODO, because I would rather not solve that in current master code. there are many issues with completion in those two fields, will solve a few of them in master.

Ongoing work on assets involves a deep rewrite of that editor, so will address remaining problems in that branch (https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/asset-experiments/) - current code is doing some rather bad things anyway...
