FYI, Windows 2000 and XP both (partially) support variaties of hard and symbolic links under NTFS in certain scenarios. Then of course there are also the half-ass implemented Windows shortcut files (*.lnk). Finally, software also exists that allows Windows to access a *nix based file system where regular *nix style links might exist. Depending on your exact needs and purposes, I just thought those might be worth mentioning. Don't believe these impact your constants at all, but would hate to see link support omitted for Windows if only due to lack of familiarity with these features. s/KAM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Cozens" <kcozens@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 3:10 PM Subject: [Gimp-developer] Selecting new constants for '(file-type file)'? > Greetings, all. > > I want to define some constants related to file type for use in Tiny-Fu.
