Hi all,Does anybody remember the way to split a gcharfilename string into the

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();
Thanks Jon! I need it for a kick-ass output extension that I'm working on. I have to strip the path from a filename, g_path_get_basename() works perfectly!
