windows read unix search path?

I know the answer is no? but is there an easy fix, short of reformatting all the search paths to windows format...the search.pro is updated frequently by outside control, so not practical for me to update 25 or so search paths everytime.


somewhere/search.pro contains:


search_path "/directory1/subdircectoy"


search_path "/directory2/subdirectory"


search_path "/directory25/subdirectory"


and so on:


Windows can't read above, but i can rename to T:\directory1\subdirectory to work but as I said this search.pro has multilple search paths, and is updated frequently and I'd rather not have to check and update each path and would rather list sear_path_file "somewhere/search.pro" in my config.pro. Most users are in unix so not an issue, but for us on pc it is.
 
You could possibly just point to your own "search_nt.pro" file and only convert the added directory paths.

Or better yet, suggest to your CAD administrator to create a search_nt.pro file when the search.pro file is changed.

Then all the unix users can use the company search.pro and NT users can use the search_nt.pro path in their config.pro file

I'd like to see the addition of a subfolder search option like some other programs that would make.

search_path /directory1/...
search all subdirectores of directory1 instead of having to specify them all by name.
