Re: Cannot change to 'C:\' (root) on Windows

[Martin H. <mar...@gm...>]

Dear all,

just right after sending my last post another idea came into my mind:
Wouldn't it be valid in general to replace a  single "\" with a double
"\\" in a path (the "Select Folder" dialog returns)?
So e.g. 'D:\' would become 'D:\\' and e.g. 'C:\MyDir\MyOtherDir' would
become 'C:\\MyDir\\MyOtherDir'. This would make the replacement a lot
easier (just replace all single backslashes with double ones), is valid
and works (I've just tried it).

It would be even compatible to *nix since there no backslash appears in
a path (or does it?). Thus the replacement would replace "nothing"... ;-)

Maybe it's worth considering this...?! What do you think?

With regards,

Martin Halle
