Dear Cygwin Community, $ ls -l total 60 -rwxr-x--- 1 knellis Domain Users 60927 Aug 26 08:57 hello.exe $ ./hello Hello, world! $ cygpath -w hello hello $ The purpose of cygpath -w, it seems to me, is to provide to Windows a valid path given a Posix path. Given executable file foo.exe, which Cygwin allows to be referenced simply as foo, should not: cygpath -w foo return: foo.exe instead of: foo ? Passing foo to a Windows application will certainly be a problem. I recognize this might be considered a change of scope for the program, but I think the tool should do the .exe magic rather than pass off this responsibility to the user. Food for thought.
