I was trying to find something to put in a SF-DIRNAME widget that would work on all platforms.
I tried "/". Bad choice on *nix/Mac, cause it leaves you at root of file system. On windows, "/" is displayed as "\"; the parameter associated with the SF-DIRNAME displays with gimp-message as \, but throws an error when used as argument to SF-DIRNAME string-append. If it is genuinely coming back as a single backslash I can see why (string-append would have problems with it (a single escape \ shouldn't be allowed, and indeed generates an error in e.g. (define x "\") in the console) So, something a bit wrong there? And back to my original problem: is there any way to make sure I land in a sensible folder (like $HOME or windows %USERPROFILE) when using SF-DIRNAME? "~" doesn't work for Windows. Null string ends up in <GIMP install>\bin on windows, $HOME I think on Mac/*nix.
