#9 Config Path Resolution involving Backslash and Slas in Win

[Rajmund Witt]

Incorrect parsing of the config file under Windows when a index path is provided.

By Jaclaz::

The
defaultIndexDir =
setting in .config seems like being erroneusly parsed. Question

Please provide some examples.

Include a "plain" example (8.3 compatible), a path with spaces in it, a special characters one (like umlaut, accented characters and the like), and specify if a backslah is needed at the end of the path or not.

Examples:
defaultIndexDir = E:\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\Fictional\
In LogFile:Error Indexing/grabbing
E:Documents and SettingssomethingDesktop♀ictional#\

defaultIndexDir = "E:\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\Fictional\"
In LogFile: Aquirred List of Files/Images from
"E:Documents and SettingssomethingDesktop♀ictional"\

None actually produced anything of use.
This worked:
defaultIndexDir = E:/Documents and Settings/something/Desktop/Fictional
Grabbing all Files in specified Directory: E:\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\Fictional
In LogFile: Aquirred List of Files/Images from E:/Documents and Settings/something/Desktop/Fictional\
(please note the final backslash on last line)

You have to make up your mind betweeen forward and back slashes Wink
