[Qgis-user] Windows UNC paths with QGIS

[QGIS.USER]

Hi Pekka,

               Yes, I have many shape files, SQLite DBs and format (.QML) files all accessed via UNC paths.

Hi!

 

Is it possible using Windows UNC paths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)#Uniform_Naming_Convention)  in QGIS?

 

For me it seems that you can open project files from UNC drives, but not data sources. Not for input neither output.

 

I tried to found some relevant discussion web pages, but really didn't found anything relevant. Maybe this is trivial, please point me to right place. Thank you

 

Note: mapping network drive to letter is not solution. Asking for a friend, not have rights to map network drive to letter (like T:\). Only UNC's like \\server\directory <file:///\\server\directory> 

 

Rgs,

 

Pekka
