Hi all, it's been a long time since we last talked about this issue. "geomview-users" list readers may want to (re-)read Debian bug #357445 [1] for a bit of context...
I see that, on 27 Dec 2006, Steve M. Robbins proposed a patch [2] to rename dot-files by simply dropping their dots. L. Wood raised an objection about lack of backward compatibility. I took a look at src/bin/geomview/common/worldio.c and at src/lib/oogl/util/glob.c Now I wonder: would sprintf(pat, "%s/.geomview-* %s/geomview-*", emodule_path[i], emodule_path[i]); do the trick in worldio.c and guarantee the desired back-compatibility? I am not familiar enough with Geomview source code to be sure about the acceptability of such a fix, that's why I am asking to the experts (that is to say: you!). Would my proposed modification (combined with Steve's patch, of course), solve the dot-files issue?
