Discussion about choice of special character for directory spritenames ====================================================================== Any reason why we shouldn't simply use `/' or even `.'? They would at least indicate that the sprite has something to do with a directory. One could use .dirsprite or /dirsprite for the big icon and use ..dirsprite or //dirsprite for the small icon. That would solve the 12 character limit on small directory sprite names. `.' is probably best as it can *never* appear in any RISC OS filename. Non-nfs users need to bear in mind that `.' and `/' are transposed by the nfs filer. -- Christopher.
