Log:
Fix some problems in makeAbsPath():
i. It didn't handle a leading "~"
Is it really supposed to? This tilde is only used for nice display
right now, and is not an 'official' syntax of unix files (only some
convenience from several shells AFAIK).
Furthermore, if ~/foo.lyx is supported, ~his/foo.lyx should be, too IMHO.
Looking at http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/22687, it suggests that
expandPath() does not, either?
That's right: I was trying to bring makeAbsPath into line with
expandPath. It's clear why the latter supports "~": Because one might
want to configure the path to, say, the lyxpipe as: ~/.lyx/lyxpipe. How
useful it is in the other case, I'm not sure, but I was surprised when
it didn't work during my testing, so....
