Sorry, it was a cursory test. Actually, cygwin_conv_path is only called for absolute paths. Using an absolute Windows path containing any nonascii character, makes lyx fail miserably. I know this is a no-no for you (even if absolute Windows paths can sneak in by opening a document created by a Windows version), so I will not insist, but knowlingly breaking backward compatibility is not nice. -- Enrico -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
