Hi all,

Does anybody remember the way to split a gchar filename string into the
file's path, it's name and it's extension?

There's a call for that...

... but be careful to use things properly. Paths are tricky beasties.

Look at these. Note that the first one is a different beastie and lives in a different page of the API docs.

g_filename_display_basename()

g_path_is_absolute()

g_path_skip_root()

g_path_get_basename()

g_path_get_dirname()

g_build_filename()

g_build_path();
