I mean, I see no reason to ship files that only make sense when developing under a Windows system even under usr/share/doc; some files are even generated by Visual Studio which have a big fat "DO NOT EDIT" warning which I'm not even sure if they can even be distributed. I just noticed that the matches on cenon.app are FP's, so I've added an exception for files under usr/lib/GNUstep. I've attached a complementary mbox adding such exception. > > Gruesse, Cheers, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
