Ted fails to load from network paths

Monkey Forums/Monkey Bug Reports/Ted fails to load from network paths

In Windows Explorer, double-clicking a file located on a network starts up Ted, but then it just thrashes for a bit and quietly gives up on the idea (no error, no file loaded).

I notice that if I navigate via the Open File dialog it does throw up an error, but prepends the stated path with "C:", like so:


Network path:

\\RASPBERRYPI\pi\Desktop\Dev\monkey\src\trans\trans.monkey

Result:

Error opening file:
C:\\RASPBERRYPI\pi\Desktop\Dev\monkey\src\trans\trans.monkey



... so I guess it's somehow trying to 'fix' the path... ?

(Bonus point: can you guess what I forgot to do yesterday after building Ted?)

Just found you get the same error when saving (via Save As), BTW.

I'm not sure how to go about building Ted for Windows (I just had to apt-get the Qt-dev stuff on Linux!), but I had a look and found it's down to std.c -> fixPath. I can't test it, but reckon this would do it, if I have my C++ 'else' syntax correct...

After #ifdef Q_OS_WIN32, change this line:

if( path.startsWith( '/' ) ) path=QDir::rootPath()+path.mid( 1 );


... to...

	if( path.startsWith( '//' ) )
		path=path.replace( '\/','\' ); // All back to UNC-style slashes, and don't "fix"!
	else if( path.startsWith( '/' ) )
		path=QDir::rootPath()+path.mid( 1 );


So the path \\RASPBERRYPI\pi\Desktop\Dev\monkey\src\trans\trans.monkey would effectively have had its slashes swapped around by the first few lines, hence just swap back and return.
