I don't love it either, but I've kept it in what I'm preparing, just because we need _some_ variable to avoid writing: get_tempfile_path(data->tempfiles[ext]) over and over. And using the same one keeps the diff minimal. If it's too terrible we can rename it on top. :) > I think that your proposed error message is good, too, and doubly so > since it lets us get rid of fname_old entirely. Yay :-). Thanks. I'm preparing something along those lines. -Peff
