Bug: incorrect handling of backslash when syncing files

[BigJack]

Hello - I hope this is the right place to report a bug in MPE Desktop 1.8.7

I'm running Windows and I want to synchronize files that are on a NAS.

Under Windows the path to the NAS is something like :

\\MyNAS\MyDirectory

(Note the double slash at the beginning, indicating that the path points to another machine).

Here's the bug:

In MPE Desktop, press F2, select Multisync and then Customize.
A dialog appears "Edit File-Sync jobs"
Next to Source, click on the "..." button and navigate to the folder on the NAS, press OK.
The Source field now correctly reads \\MyNAS\MyDirectory

But then when you do a sync, an error message appears saying it can't access \MyNAS\MyDirectory (note the simple slash: one of the two slashes got lost).

There's a workaround: in the Source field if you manually add a third slash, making it \\\MyNAS\MyDirectory then the sync works as expected

Thank you for your attention!

Super, you made my day !!!
(I bumped against this issue recently as I decided to use Windows Offline Files with my to-be-synced docs on the NAS...)
