That’s a strong argument to not rely on Qt completely. IMO, the documentation of it promise to do it better. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfileinfo.html#canonicalFilePath "Returns the canonical path including the file name, i.e. an absolute path without symbolic links or redundant "." or ".." elements." Thank you for checking that. Stephan -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
