Incorrect handling of absolute paths for Windows

Open ipkiss42 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

A couple of DB queries (example 1, example 2) use /% to match absolute paths. This doesn't work properly for Windows paths.

Since the absolute-ness of paths is easy to get from code, I suggest a new is_absolute column in the file table to keep track of it and allow easy querying. I suppose it could be back-filled using /% (or whatever smarter absolute path detection can be done in SQL).

Note: I'm not sure if Windows is supposed to be supported, but since the release notes for version 0.5.0 mention "rudimentary" support (i.e. without VFS) and since this is not related to VFS, it might be worth tracking it.

Windows support was something I always had in my mind to do properly. But as I use Windows so little now at home, it's not on my priority list.
