bug: checked out location, machine name

Post by Perry » Mon May 08, 2006 4:40 pm

The machine name listed in the check out properties appears to have been assembled backwards, and with the wrong slash.

I see something like this:

devmachine3/localgroup


which I expect was supposed to represent:

localgroup\devmachine3


(At least, using Windows notation, as I understand it.)

The string isn't meant to conform to the windows standard. We print the machine name first because it is usually the unique part of the string, so it takes less space to determine differences.

I chose obvious example to help clarify the bug

Ya, it definitely doesn't conform to the standard, so it is quite confusing when the names are more similar -- I chose a really obvious example, where it isn't as bad effect, to help make it clear what the bug is.
