Believe me, external_path could be completely ditched. However, it is now mostly used for display purposes, apart from the last use of it in insetgraphics.C. But I will not touch it, because I like to wait for the next bug report it will cause (big smiley here). Indeed, the ditched external_path was not causing problems in 1.4.x (just checked). -- Enrico
