Description

When running blender from a network share a number of UNC names get corrupted.

eg blender somtimes resolves the .B25.blend file to
c:\machine\share\path\.blender\.B25.blend
when it should be
\\machine\share\path\.blender\.B25.blend

The same thing happens for the following directories
.blender\python,
.blender\scripts\modules
.blender\icons
.blender\.Blog
.blender\autosave


This happens on both windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 R2 32 bit clients

Hi, this isn't supported, as mentioned in the other report so I'll close this one. One workaround for the time being is to mount your network shares are drive letters, that will work fine.

PS. Any help in adding this support would be appreciated! ;)

I'm looking in to it but if you want it fixed then I suggest that you leave the bug open so that other people see it and either fix it, or don't report it again.
