bartib does not run in cygwin due to being unable to find the `.bartib` file

[dvklopfenstein]

Hello,

Thank you very much for your timetracker.

I work in both a Linux and cygwin environment. Bartib works well in the Linux environment, but cannot find the .bartib file in the cygwin environment (and so cannot run).

Are there any plans to support cygwin?

Here is the log:

$ ls -lrt ~/projects.bartib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dvklo dvklo 60 Feb 24 13:48 /home/dvklo/projects.bartib

$ readlink -f !$
readlink -f ~/projects.bartib
/home/dvklo/projects.bartib

$ bartib -f /home/dvklo/projects.bartib start -d "Begin project apples" -p apples
Started activity: "Begin project apples" (apples) at 2025-02-24 13:50
Error: Could not write to file: /home/dvklo/projects.bartib

Caused by:
    The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)

This is really strange. I use bartib with cygwin all the time but I have not ran into this issue yet. Still, I am able to reproduce it. I have no problem to use files if I specify a /cygdrive/... path or a relative path, but it fails if I open a file in /home/myuser/ . Right now, I do not have any solution and will investigate it further.
