Apologies for that!

So it's probably not an issue with any particular option -- just with the way paths seem to be handled.

For example, say I have a file located at: C:\Users\User Name\readme.txt If I perform Win+R > "C:\Users\User Name\readme.txt", PNotepad opens the file just fine. But if I perform Win+R > "C:\Users\USERNA~1\readme.txt", PNotepad spits back the following: "eadme.txt could not be opened. This could be because the file no longer exists, a disk is absent or due to a broken network connection." Yes, that's verbatim what is shown in the messagebox. The "r" is missing from the path. If I try performing Win+R > "C:\Users\USERNA~1\\readme.txt" (note the double-backslash), PNotepad actually understands this. Not sure if it's poor escape handling eating up the "r" or something, but this bug has been bothering me for a while. All of that aside, thanks for all your hard work on PNotepad! :) It seems PNotepad doesn’t understand paths that contain 8.3 short style folder names.
