Using verbose backup on any local drive other than C: truncates the backup file name. I've tried to save the backup with and without a custom backup directory, it makes no difference. I have reinstalled the software and also used it on two different computers. The behavior remains the same. Notice in the examples below, the original file name of "test.txt" is missing from the verbose backup where the original file is on any local drive other than C:. Verbose backup files on network drives do NOT truncate the original file name.
Using: Notepad++ v4.7.5 or v4.8
-------------------------------
Verbose backup of "C:\test.txt" (local drive) produces:
test.txt.2008-02-27_123158.bak
Verbose backup of "Z:\test.txt" (mapped network drive) produces:
test.txt.2008-02-27_123528.bak
Verbose backup of "E:\test.txt" (local drive) produces:
.2008-02-27_123715.bak
Verbose backup of "F:\test.txt" (local drive) produces:
.2008-02-27_124805.bak
