File picker name mangling.

Do you have a typical platform dependent issue you're battling with ? Ask it here. Make sure you mention your platform, compiler, and wxWidgets version.

File picker name mangling.

Post by soundhound »

Hello folks
Rcently compiled from source on a cygwin 2.5.2-1 (last to work on winxp) msw system.
The examples compile fine but when using a file chooser the choice results in an error message saying file doesn't
Exist - it then shows a mangle path, instead of
~/myfile
It gets translated as
C:/install\%2ccygwin℅2c\myfile (approximately)

The picker appears to be the standard msw one.
However in wxHTMLviewer(?) a diiferent picker is used which works fine.

I'm guessing that there's a setup.h option to get this right but I haven't found it!
recognise the problem?
