window.cep.fs.makedir Fails With UNC Path on Windows

Question

Hi all,I develop InDesign CC Extensions.I have used window.cep.fs.makedir() frequently with no problem. However, I was always using Windows paths ("c:\mydir\myfile.txt") - of course with "" converted to "/".For the first time, I have to deal with UNC paths ("\myhost\myshare\mydir\). window.cep.fs.makedir is failing at creating new dirs with UNC paths (regular Windows paths work fine). writefile and readfile both work fine with UNC.For example, window.cep.fs.makedir('//myhost/myshare/mydir/newdir') fails, even though '//myhost/myshare/mydir/' exists already.Could someone please help me?TIA,mlavie

Solved.For whatever reason, on Windows, window.cep.fs.makedir wants backslashes ("\") instead of slashes ("/").Go figure.mlavie

That could be a bit offtopic, but how did you manage to handle windows paths? The `onEncoderJobComplete` path callback in Windows it s the one with single `\` which blocks me from reading the file after the encoder is done. Thank you
