Nice! Not too ugly and definitely needed. 👍

Edit: nevermind. Going to look at other solutions... Below might still be feasible: This only addresses ofToDataPath - if we wanted to address all functions with return types of of::filesystem::path...

I agree in terms of shorterm fixes this should probably be reverted until we can get a workable solution for Windows. This would literally break almost every app on Windows...

@roymacdonald I think there was a point where the current ofToDataPath with named ofToDataPathFS and then ofToDataPath was: ``` //-------------------------------------------------- std::string ofToDataPath(const fs::path & path, bool makeAbsolute){ return ofPathToString(ofToDataPathFS(path, makeAbsolute));...

@dimitre I'd definitely love a cross platform FS solution and as soon as we have one we should merge it, but it does feel unfair to leave Windows in a...

@roymacdonald here is a quick test solution using a proxy class than can be run in ofApp.cpp without core changes. If you are able to, could you try on Windows?...

Thanks for the PR @roymacdonald ! And thanks for testing the proxy approach. The thing that makes me nervous about the proxy approach is that I can imagine it might...

@roymacdonald I think initially I was imagining the PR just confined to return types as that seems to be all that is breaking Windows right now. So going back to...

@dimitre thanks! Looking at the nightly I do see it at that path: Though I know other libs are missing currently.

oh huh - I guess that we need to find a better way to keep the head up to date. edit - actually the PG at https://github.com/openframeworks/projectGenerator/releases is up to...
