The request is for an embedded option to manage MS paths to/from Unix/Web paths ... i.e. the "/" "\" issue.

Suggestion:

1) in the Edit menu, similar to Change Case, a
"Change Path" with sub menu items "to /" "to \" "switch / \"

2) create: "file:\\" (to go with "file://") for MS paths to be directly pasted into the text file and treated the same way.

3) allow quoted "file://..." or "file:\\..." to automatically encompass paths with embedded spaces. e.g.:

"file:\\C:\Program Files\TextPad 7\"
"file:\\C:\Users\Jack Black\My Videos\My Day In the Sun.mpg"

as well as

"file://C:/Program Files/TextPad 7/"
"file://C:/Users/Jack Black/My Videos/My Day In the Sun.mpg"

(both would open the appropriate folder or file)
