• Re: Tilde expansion bug in Tk 9.0 for Windows

    From Harald Oehlmann@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 28 09:10:00 2024
    Please continue within the Ticket. Apparently, a fix in TCL was not
    copied to Tk.

    Thanks,
    Harald

    Although automatic tilde expansion has been removed from Tcl version
    9, I found one instance in the Tk sources where it hasn't been
    addressed. Specifically, in tk/win/winMain.c, the Tcl variable
    "tcl_rcFileName" is apparently given the value "~/wishrc.tcl".

    I noticed this because my version of wish90 does not source this
    file as earlier versions did.

    Did you file a bug report on this at https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/ticket >>>
    No, I did not.  Thank you for the link- I will do so.

    This is a known bug which could not be fixed as the tilde expansion did
    not have a C interface jet.
    This will be corrected by currently TIP 701 (in voting).

    The file you found were not jet in the list. I added it to this bug.

    Thanks for all,
    Harald
