Hi!

I'm using Houdini 19.5.493 on windows 11. I noticed one of my old HDA's had problems with texture paths. After some tests on a grid with a wrangle to apply the texture to point @Cd with a wrangle:

string texpath = chs("texture_path");
@Cd = rawcolormap(texpath, v@uv);

...I noticed that browsing a texture from my channel string (type set to File - image) it wasn't able to apply the texture (I got a pink color showing it can't find the texture). When I used Houdini's browser (and got the problem), it was giving me FRONT slashes. But, when I manually change it to BACK slashes, it worked.

Why would Houdini's browser give me the wrong (FRONT) slashes? Am I missing something?
