Windows backslash file path issues


Recommended Posts

I'm running houdini on windows and have been using \ in my file paths without issue, then out of nowhere houdini stopped recognizing backslashes as a valid file path, so it broke all my file paths, even in older files

this is irrrelevant of the $JOB or $HIP variable, even setting that it will not recognize the path until I change all my \ slashes to / slashes.  Even though in the same scene earlier it was working fine, Is this a preference that got corrupted or something?

Any help fixing this or any help with a python script to recursively change all back slashes to forward slashes would be very much appreciated

For converting paths, I used to have a pretty handy standalone app a few years ago, but can't find it anywhere.  I did find this Chrome extension though, that looks like it'll work:

Sorry, can't help on the python side.
