File association doesn't work correctly with network file path

[yozba]

Describe the bug If blend file is in network (something like \\NAS\project\untitled.blend), Blender-Launcher comes up but it cant launching blender.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. put blend file in network
2. open with Blender-Launcher-V2
3. press Launch

Expected behavior Blender should be launched

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Windows 11
• Blender Launcher version: 2.3.0-rc.1
• Log file: Blender Launcher.log

Additional context I don't know much about windows network because I'm just employee and use company's network. So it may take some time to reply with information to reproduce.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Opening a Blender file on a NAS with the Blender Launcher works on my side. You can try:

• Move the file outside the NAS and try to open it with Blender Launcher.
• Open the blend file with the Blender version you chose through the popup manually to see if it works.

I moved the blend file to the desktop and blender started fine. When I tried to open the file still on the NAS with another version of blender, blender did not start.

This is a little off topic, but when I opened a file on my NAS by dragging and dropping it into the Blender Launcher, Blender started but the default scene was opened. System Console says the following

It seems that it is trying to read the blend file as a relative path and failing.

I will look at this issue, it might be related

If you launch Blender and drag and drop the file from the NAS into Blender, does the file open correctly?

[yozba]

Yes, it opens correctly.

For your information, I did the same thing (drag and dropping .blend file on NAS to Blender Launcher) on 2.3.0-rc.2 A different Path was displayed than last time
