Did some research on this and based on https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem std::filesystem originally was a feature of boost library so https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_81_0/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm ... Maybe include that in the project instead for backwards compatibility?...

Just found this which might be helpful! https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem "An implementation of C++17 std::filesystem for C++11 /C++14/C++17/C++20 on Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD."

Oh yes definitely, if strings are enough. I guess I'll investigate it a bit further when I got the time 🤔

I took a look and yes many of the paths can be just std::strings. However there are some std::filesystem methods that are required to be implemented "locally" which are: has_filename()...

@sdatkinson I can definitely still do a pull request which includes gulrak's filesystem, either as a submodule or just plain ol copy/paste ;) But I won't attempt if it's not...
