Update of bug #24779 (project gnustep):
Status: None => Wont Fix
Open/Closed: Open => Declined
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #2:
The string handling behavior is intentional, well documented, and the result
of much debate on the GNUstep mailing lists.
Essentially the opinion of windows users was that paths on windows MUST
conform to local conventions, and that all the path manipulation methods must
therefore work with both unix and windows style paths (which they do).
As long as an application carefully manipulates paths using the path
manipulation methods in the API the application will be portable between
systems. Applications which contain code which depends on the path separator
being a specific character are buggy/non-portable and should be fixed to use
the standard path handling methods from NSString.
