Originally include/FL/Fl_Flow.H was checked in, but that file is generated from the .h files in src/Fl_Flow , as you point out.There’s also a Fl_Flow.h (note the capitalization) in that folder. This caused me lots of confusion while I was developing this feature. I kept making changes in Fl_Flow.H only to have them disappear the next time I ran make. IMHO, generated files should never be checked in, but ultimately this is up to Karsten, of course. I was somewhat surprised that he accepted that change without comment.


Way off-topic, but from a portability perspective having filenames (auto-generated or otherwise) that differ only in name-case is just a disaster wating to happen, really.
It would probably be safer and more portable to make the auto-generated file have some unique name, "Just In Case"... say Fl_Flow_hdr.H or etc., just to ensure it can not "collide" with the "other" Fl_flow.h file...
