On Windows, when I open a file, press Ctrl-L, and enter a relative path using forward slashes (/) instead of Windows's official backslash path separator (\), Geany doesn't understand that and produces a confusing error message.
Specifically, if I go to C:\Users\cousteau\ and enter AAA/BBB/ccc.txt, I get "Error: couldn't find C:\Users\cousteau\AAA\BBB\AAA\BBB\cc.txt. Note that the directory part (AAA/BBB/) appears twice, but other than that it looks like Geany is somewhat able to parse the path. If instead I enter AAA\BBB\ccc.txt, Geany will open C:\Users\cousteau\AAA\BBB\cc.txt without complaining.
This is a bit inconveniencing because I often work with Unix-like environments (Git bash shell, MinGW, MSYS, WSL, tools and languages that ignore Windows's odd decision to use backslashes and use the usual / instead, etc), so whenever I get a file name (e.g. after running find on bash) the path is specified using forward slashes. I'd love to be able to just copy-paste that in Geany and have it open without manually replacing every / with \.
