Nuke File Naming Conventions

[samgtn]

Is there a method in nuke to use UNC file naming conventions in it's file requesters when running under windows? We actively avoid "letter mapping" on windows boxes and much prefer the more "unix-y" UNC convention. For example instead of loading an image as

c:\MyFolder\MyFile_0001.sgi

we us

\OurServerMachineName\MyFilder\MyFile_0001.sgi

Since UNC filenames are recognized by Windows, you should be able to use UNCs when running NUKE under Windows. The syntax is

//ServerName/ShareName/Path

Note that NUKE doesn't like backslashes (if you are typing these into the "filename" text field without using the file browser, that might be a problem). Also, it seems like the ShareName has to be a shared directory for it to work properly.
