Then we are talking about another class entirely. I think that the two can co-exist quite happily but that this "class to interact with files" is entirely orthogonal to my suggested "class to store how LyX should output a filename having stored it internally with an absolute path". > | If you want to implement the FileName class using boost::filesystem, > | fine.
