Hello Stephan,
Thank you for your reply. To answer your question, I thought it was a typo
for several reasons:
1. In researching http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73620, I
tried four possible syntaxes, file:/, file://, file:///, file:
and none of them worked.
2. I found other instances on the OOo website and documentation that list
the syntax as file:///.
3. Shoddy and incorrect documentation abound in the OOo project, so this was
a reasonable conclusion.
In summary, this was not an assumption, it was a conclusion reached based on
experience, research and a diligent effort to solve the problem before
putting in a bug report.
If you are saying that a UNC path is distinguished by having only two
slashes after the file:, rather than three slashes, then you are right, it
is not ambiguous. I am still glad I raised the issue however, since (a)
this needs to be better documented; and (b) based on how well UNC paths do
not work in OOo, there seems to be just as much confusion among the
developers as the users.
Thank you again for your response.
Allen
