Windows lets me map a network drive to a remote host in the form of \\hostname.\sharename ; note the dot after the hostname.

However, when I add a file from this network drive to Picard and then try to save the edited tags, it fails to save them with an error symbol, as well as the following logs:

E: 03:16:58,893 ui/item.error_append:108: <FLACFile '01 Butterfly Lovers I Adagio Cantabile.flac'>: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: '\\\\Hostname_
sharename
'

It seems to be translating the network drive to its underlying network path, i.e. referring to \\hostname_\sharename\file instead of D:\file , but also it seems to be replacing the final dot with an underscore. My unsubstantiated guess is that this replacement is causing the error.

I have not tried the other features such as renaming and moving files, and they may not be working either.

Thank you.
