Every *nix regular file/directory name is a hardlink; there is no "primary file name" and "additional links". Normally one would check the number of links with stat(2). However, one hardlink is no different from another; they are all THE file to be saved. So why would anyone expect a new file to be created when saving to the actual file?.. I side with Lex here: if there's something to be done, it should be for the symlinks only. -- E-gards: Jimmy _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
