can't use (UNC) network paths, beginning with \\ #48

Open lhemkendreis opened 1 month ago

Hi 🙂

I encounter the following problem.

I can add a UNC path (on Windows) like \\myserver\d$\path\to\file.txt to my favorites. But when I click on it in the favorites view, it tries to open the path, starting with a single backslash \ instead of \\ and fails to open it. I know this is what happens, because the new editor tab shows the path and complains, that the file does not exist.

I tried to trick the extension, by inserting additional backslashes to the beginning of the file path in my favorites config file, but the extension seems to always reduce them to a single backslash when trying to open the file. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can someone please fix this?

I really like the extension, but without this feature I cannot use it 😢

Thanks! 😊

Will look at it. Txs for reporting.

Hm... It seems to work OK: capture

Strangly enough when I simply drag and drop the UNC file in VSCode it cannot open it. Not sure how to reproduce it

Did you add the file manually? By typing in the fav list file? If you did then it's possible that you forgot the file: prefix. Did you?

This is the correct format:

file://<server>/d%24/temp/test.txt
