Hi,

The correct way for windows path should be "drive letter : " (c:\folder\etc) “back slash” lexicon uses “forward slash” which is fine for operating systems like mac os (and linux) This has been a long time issue for me and sometimes causes problems with virtualdj, especially when dragging out of lexicon into virtualdj, yes i know this is NOT the recommended way to do it.

Same like using “find my lost tracks” i have to remember to change the path from \ to / which is not “normal” windows behavior

Lexicon exports the correct slash for each OS but inside Lexicon it displays the forward slash always to avoid confusion. Backslashes are bad
