On Windows, when I open a file, press Ctrl-L, and enter a relative path using forward slashes (`/`) instead of Windows's official backslash path separator (`\`), Geany doesn't understand that and produces a confusing error message.
Specifically, if I go to `C:\Users\cousteau\` and enter `AAA/BBB/ccc.txt`, I get "Error: couldn't find `C:\Users\cousteau\AAA\BBB\AAA\BBB\cc.txt`. Note that the directory part (`AAA/BBB/`) appears twice, but other than that it looks like Geany is somewhat able to parse the path. If instead I enter `AAA\BBB\ccc.txt`, Geany will open `C:\Users\cousteau\AAA\BBB\cc.txt` without complaining. This is a bit inconveniencing because I often work with Unix-like environments (Git bash shell, MinGW, MSYS, WSL, tools and languages that ignore Windows's odd decision to use backslashes and use the usual `/` instead, etc), so whenever I get a file name (e.g. after running `find` on bash) the path is specified using forward slashes. I'd love to be able to just copy-paste that in Geany and have it open without manually replacing every `/` with `\`. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3868 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
