There is no discrimination against windows. The problem with e.g. paths with spaces is that somebody needs to do the dirty work and create a patch. I predict that it will go in within hours if it does not involve a dirty hack. Look also at the QApplication problem: I asked for testing by windows people, and the only response I got was from Peter. I am not motivated at all to continue fixing bugs for other people if they can't be bothered to even test the patches. Georg
