don't insist on one colon in filenames #10

Closed fommil closed 8 years ago

fommil commented 8 years ago

it is not possible to have colon in filenames in Windows, which means this breaks if the template is in the user's home directory (which gets contracted to ~ instead of C: or whatever drive it is.).

Workaround is to put the files on another drive, which is a bit awkward.

actually just changing the error to a message seems appropriate, i.e.

(message "yatemplate: %s does not contain exactly one colon" FILENAME)

Thanks for the report! I've changed the way the error message is emitted (I believe yasnippet itself also uses (message) if it has trouble loading a particular snippet file) and added a customizable variable for changing the separator that's used. I'm not 100% happy with this, because yatemplate-separator is used in split-string as a regular expression when all it should be used as is a dumb string, but I couldn't find another string splitting function that does this.
