UNC file names in windows are not supported on command line

Post by dmarty »

Files using Windows UNC file names are not opened correctly from the command line.

Executing:
"C:\Program Files\Oxygen4.1\oxygen.exe" \\myserver\temp\test.xml

Results in a message box that says
Cannot open the specified file: C:\myserver\temp\test.xml

In this instance there is a 'temp' share on the machine named 'myserver'. 'myserver' is not a directory on the C: drive.

"Shell Integration" reports the same message, howeveer dragging the same file from explorer does open the file correctly.
