Sometimes I need to refer to my generated CSS file but now that it is prefixed with microtime I cannot reliably know the path to the css file that is generated. For now I've created a small module to return the file for me, would you consider including something like this?
<?php
/**
* Implements hook_menu().
*/
function less_loader_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['lessloader/%'] = array(
'title' => 'Less loader',
'page callback' => 'less_loader_callback',
'access callback' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
return $items;
}
/**
* Callback.
*/
function less_loader_callback($type = 'global') {
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
$path = '';
if ($type == 'theme' || $type == 'module') {
$name = array_shift($args);
$path .= drupal_get_path($type, $name) . '/';
}
$path .= implode('/', $args);
$less = _less_pre_render(array('#items' => array($path => array('data' => $path))));
$less_file = file_create_url($less['#items'][$path]['data']);
drupal_goto($less_file);
exit;
}?>I suppose most of the time it is not really necessary, but the reason I need this is my designer uses the generated stylesheets to mess around with static markup to add new components etc. It would also be a solution to #1474184: WYSIWYG does not load less styles although I think I prefer the solution in that issue better. There may be other modules etc that require the css file to be included (nice_menus is one off the top of my head).

corey.aufang commentedIf you hook into the preprocess you should be able to retrieve the compiled path of the file easily.
The ['css'] array is keyed by the input file name so that should allow to find the path of the generated .css file.
