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

[lhemkendreis]

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! 😊
