Is this something the spec needs? My main question: How would debugging tools like d-feet know that a particular object path was encoded using this algorithm? Maybe you could insert some string like "/dbusescaped/"; dunno. BTW there are several functions like this in glib too I'm sure; I spotted gdesktopappinfo.c:object_path_from_appid() in a quick search. So I agree that it would make sense to have a "standard" blessed escaping in libdbus, and we could replicate that to glib and libnih. If there were a non-ugly way to have it be actually useful to d-feet, that could argue for having it in the spec as a recommended thing for dbus tools to try to reverse. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> It would be cool if D-Feet could reverse it. It would seem that _NN would be uncommon enough that it could just assume that if it sees it, reverse that path? Ted </BODY> </HTML>
