Yes, that will be usefull for our users.

I'm wrong, or .clicompanion is only for informationan purposes in trunk?

Yes, conversion will be automatical.

Yes, this is good idea and we should make database for 1.2 release.

Your right. This is only quick fix.

Title:
  if the command has ":" character, the command gets broken into two

Status in CLI Companion:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I tried to record this

  command.....:     sshfs xnatty@192.168.1.5:/home/xnatty  ~/xnatty
  User input....: 
  Description..:    this command mounts the remote computer

  Closed the program.... and reopened it.
  command was split into two at (:) character in the middle of the command. Second part was shown in User input field.
  so the new fields were as follows:

  command.....:     sshfs xnatty@192.168.1.5
  User input....:     /home/xnatty  ~/xnatty
  Description..:    :this command mounts the remote computer

  I think the program uses (:) as a separator character between columns of data..
  you may want to change it to some other (less used) character.
  for your info...
