What's the idea behind having a COPYING.txt file on Windows instead of a COPYING file? e.g. ui/gtk/about_dlg.c: #if defined(_WIN32) absolute_path = get_datafile_path("COPYING.txt"); #else absolute_path = get_datafile_path("COPYING"); #endif If there is a good reason, how about renaming your COPYING to COPYING.txt (and perhaps create a dummy COPYING in case autotools complain)? Thanks Jörg
Hi may be historic from Windows installer : (in wireshark.nsi line 48-52) ; NSIS shows Readme files by opening the Readme file with the default application for ; the file's extension. "README.win32" won't work in most cases, because extension "win32" ; is usually not associated with an appropriate text editor. We should use extension "txt" ; for a text file or "html" for an html README file. I known it is for README file, but in the past, COPYING will be display with Windows installer Regards, --
Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org ?subject=unsubscribe
