[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54463] Creating a new .m file with full path shows popup with full file path appended to current directory

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #54463 (project octave):

Philip - my point wasn't that this would fix an equivalent bug in the edit
function in the console version of Octave at all.

My point was only that other parts of Octave use the
octave::sys::env::absolute_pathname function for other limited purposes. If we
use it in the GUI as well, it exposes the function to more users and may help
identify latent bugs or other problems with the function.

Same thing with functions having to do with system time, or temporary files,
or network access. If we use the Qt functions for all of these, then the
liboctave functions don't get exercised as much.
