Right, so I take it you want to unwind drive letters into their UNC
equivalent,
eg. z:/dir -> //host/share/dir.
An easy solution is to just do that operation after the user chooses
the file. That would make it easier, since people are probably used
to the native choosers; in my experience TDs have 'mastered' navigating
the Mac-specific and Windows-specific file choosers, and are
lighting-fast
at zipping through deep directory hierarchies.. that's why I made the
native FLTK file chooser widget just for those poor guys who spend most
of the day browsing for files in Maya.
That said, you could snag a copy of the FLTK chooser's code
and customize it so that whenever a drive letter shows up in
the path being browsed, it derives the unc equivalent.
If you're using fltk2|3, you can probably just make your own namespace
for it, so that you don't have to change the class names.
