Thanks ... I've fixed it in cvs.
As regards the use of '/' as a path separator in strings, my understanding is that
this is OK as it's the separator used internally by GNUstep/OpenStep/MacOS-X. Only
when we actually want to use a path in a antive systemcall etc do we translate it from
an NSString to a C-string using NSFileManagers method
fileSystemRepresentationWithPath:, and it is that method which converts from the
internal path separator ('/') to the systems native separator.
That being said, I think it's good practice to append path components using the
appropriate method.
=================== BUG #4706: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: stefanu Project: GNUstep
Submitted on: Sun 08/10/03 at 21:46
Category: Gui/AppKit Severity: 3
Bug Group: Bug Resolution: None
Assigned to: gcasa Status: Open
Summary: gopen should use absolute path of filename
Original Submission: 1. openapp Ink.app in ~
2. have some.rtf in ~
3. go to /tmp and have different some.rtf in /tmp
4. run: 'gopen some.tmp' in /tmp -> ~/some.rtf is opened
5. have other.rtf in /tmp and run 'gopen other.rtf' -> Ink will complain that the file
does not exists
Patch is attached.
p.s.: by looking at ths bug i've seen some string appendings for paths using '/'
instead of using stringByAppendingPathComponent: in NSWorkspace.m. i think that should
be fixed to prevent future failures on mswindows or other os.
