Incorrect Slash Makes Path incorrect on Windows

[PeterHouseJr]

Using Windows 11, KiCad 9.x, and iBom 1.9.2 or 2.10.0, this is the path created/provided in the "Directory" input box on the PCB PlugIn UI page when opened:

Directory Input Box:
//MyServer/folder/ProjectPath\bom/

The backslash "" before the iBom folder name prevents the file from being saved and causes an error message.

Simply changing the backslash to the matching forward slash "/" corrects the problem and works.

Interesting: choosing the ellipsis "..." to browse for the path and choosing the bom folder returns with the Directory using ALL backslashes, no trailing slash, and works correctly.

Directory Input Box:
\MyServer\folder\ProjectPath\bom

More Interesting:
After creating a bom and re-openeing the dialog, the Direct Input Box now has all backslashes AND a trailing forward slash and again fails.

Directoy Input Box
\MyServer\folder\ProjectPath\bom/

Using the ellipsis button or removing the trailing forward slash, "/" again fixes the issue.
