Ok, it seems that the consensus is to use \posix_style_latex_paths > Whatever you do, please update the documentation and also the user > visible names of this option in the frontends (or is it not visible > anymore? I forgot). It seems that the switch is not documented anywhere apart the sources themselves. The only place where the option is visible in the frontends is in the preferences dialog but only for cygwin builds. The option is is currently named "Use Cygwin-style paths" and could be turned into "Use posix-style paths in latex files" and perhaps also activated for the win32 version in 1.5? > If you do the renaming please think also about compatibility with the old > name in 1.4.x. Ok. I will take care that the old name is still accepted when reading configuration files but that the new name is used when writing. -- Enrico
