Subject: bug#24387: 25.1.50; w32-convert-standard-filenames no longer works
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2016 10:52:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPM58oiwhHH6JrFgNU5nE8WJsd76jwXzTP7-Ar7swJyULDOdqg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Eli,
`convert-standard-filename' on Windows was changed in this commit:
commit 438b98e5b70c55129453870b870a139c4a4a77fd
Author: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
Date: Mon Apr 25 11:50:37 2016 +0300
Don't mirror slashes in convert-standard-filename on MS-Windows
* lisp/w32-fns.el (w32-convert-standard-filename): Don't mirror
slashes into backslashes. This avoids producing ugly file names,
and is deemed no longer necessary, and should certainly be
unrelated to which shell is in use.
I for one /did/ use filenames created by this function in shell
commands. It was explicitly documented that it would work,
and it still is (see the docstring for `convert-standard-filename').
Now I need to take time out to roll my own version and review
all my callers (and, because I'm a nice person and like to help,
file a bug report and expose myself to the ensuing derision :) ).
Please will you change it back? If not, when that docstring gets
fixed, can it document what people should use instead?
