Hello,
I encounter a problem with `convert-standard-filename`,
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Standard-File-Names.html. I call this function within a Cygwin environment, and this function could not return me a MS-DOS/Windows format path. I think it treats Cygwin environment as a normal *nix environment.
In Cygwin environment, the Emacs has a function called `cygwin-convert-file-name-to-windows` which converts a expanded path to a Windows path, e.g.:
/cygdrive/c/Windows => c:\Windows
According to the description of the `convert-standard-filename`, it is expected to be used only in places where the callee wants to convert a *nix path to the underline OS path.
I think it is appropriate we invoke the `cygwin-convert-file-name-to-windows`
function inside the `convert-standard-filename` function if it is called within a Cygwin environment.
I am eager to hear your feedback.
Thanks,
David
