My app is working with hi-res images stored on LAN volume. The paths to these images along with previews are stored in database. I need to be able to access these hi-res images from Mac and Win - therefore I need to have platform independent paths stored in the database. As I see it now I will have to ask user on Win to enter the letter on which the LAN volume is mapped and to ask user on Mac to enter the name of the volume on which the hi-res images are stored.
