Problem with extra backslashes in Samba mappings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Map /home/user/ to \\machine\user\ (only an example; note the ending 
backslash)
2. Try to open a torrent with right click -> 'Open on Network Share'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The file should open, but I get an error telling me the network path is not 
found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using 3.11, build 3525.

With File Monitor I can see the program trying to access 
\\machine\\user\<folder name>\<file name>, but the folder name *is missing the 
first character*, because apparently the ending backslash in the Samba path is 
understood as a escape backslash for the next character. A little bug but very 
annoying if you don't have the right tools :)

Using the paths without any ending slash works fine:
/home/user => \\machine\user

PS: by the way, you have made a very very good work. I tried other GUIs but I 
must say that this one left me quite impressed :)

Thanks, I've just made a change which should trim a backslash off the end of a 
samba
mapping.
