Ohhhhh... I fucking hate this. I use Windows locally, but I do support for a render farm that runs on Linux. The number of times I have recieved "it works locally" tickets from an artist who decided to get clever and embed Windows paths in string literals in their scene makes me want to punch a puppy. They don't even look at the application logs we provide to see that the paths threw errors. We handle repointing their file paths with symlinks normally, but when they use literals it literally fucks the system with escapes. I will never understand why Microsoft refuses to standardize to POSIX with the rest of the world. Aside from them being a US company with decision makers who still think freedom units make sense.
