[Geany] Problem on Windows opening Samba share

[Bob Snyder]

I am unable to open a shared file which is on a linux host from my 
office Windows machine running Geacy 0.18. This apparently is a recent 
change in behavior. I have been able to create and edit shared files 
using earlier versions.

Here's what happens:

If I open an Explorer window showing the folder and the file, and drag 
the file onto Geany, I get the message:

"Could not open file \nn.nn.nn.nn\sharename\filename (No such directory)"

Note the host IP address is preceded by a single backslash. If I use the 
file open dialog and type in the path to the file, it will autocomplete 
the filename correctly showing that it can see the file, but pressing 
the Open button produces the same error message. Adding more leading 
backslashes to the path does not help.

Thanks,

Bob S.
