I think it would be better to use an ifdef (although the ifdef could control whether to do the replacement you describe) since it's possible, although unlikely, to have localhost be something other than 127.0.0.1 on a non-Windows system.

Or better yet, internally replace "localhost" with "127.0.0.1"?

But I'm not only writing this to inform, I would also like to
propose to change the hostname that is set by default in the Save As
and Open dialog boxes to 127.0.0.1. If we leave it as localhost, I
guess we will be getting a lot of "It doesn't work" messages in the
future.

Yes, in principle, because having a solution that works is better
than having  something which won't work on some systems. However, the
numbers look very  ugly compared to the name "localhost". Can you
make that an #ifdef on  G_OS_WIN32, and leave it at localhost for the
other systems?

Regards,

Christian
