QuickConvert Can't Open Files from Network Share / Mapped Drive

Opened this issue · 0 comments

When files are located on a network share, even if that share is mapped to a local drive, Onyx fails to open them in the Quick Convert interface. It appears to not even try - nothing appears in the console and no actions appear to be taken. It is as if Onyx just ignores and drops any requests for opening files not located on a local drive - but only when using Quick Convert.

The files can be loaded successfully in the "Load a Song" interface, but when the need is to bulk convert multiple songs from one or more packages, the "Load a Song" interface is not the ideal tool to use.

This implies that the issue is somehow related specifically to Quick Convert. I am not sure if this is intentional behavior or a bug - in any event, the lack of feedback/notification/console messages makes it seem to the user that it is an unhandled scenario.

Ideally, Quick Convert would successfully open and work with files on remote drives. If this is not possible or feasible, then could some sort of notification or console entry be added to communicate to the user that they need to copy the files locally before Onyx can Quick Convert them?

I'm currently using the latest version at time of posting - version 20240202.
