Yes. I came up to the same issue though - in one case it would've been best to copy the link, in the other case it would've been best to copy the contents of the file :S Couldn't decide which was most important... Maybe a switch would be needed? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
