Thanks for this suggestion. I've applied the patch in SVN and it will be in the next upload of devscripts. I've made two changes, though: firstly, for consistency, I've called the option filenamemangle; secondly, since the new watch files are not actually incompatible with the version 3 ones, in that the only difference is that the filenames won't be mangled, I haven't bumped the version number. (A warning will be issued about an unrecognised option, of course.) Julian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
