Using forward slashes does not work. The error message is the same (shows
forward slashes either way) whether I use forward or backslashes:

Could not find notebook:
> file://////Panda/Desktop/ZimDesktopWikiPortable/Data/Notebooks/Notes

I can use forward slashes or backslashes, either one, in the dialog box to
navigate to or create locations on the computer that Zim resides on.
