Fab not accepting UNC path as download location

Summary

Hello,

theres is only one problem keeping me from using the Fab plugin like the old Quixel bridge plugin and it is that UNC paths do not seem to be working as a download location

What type of bug are you experiencing?

Plugins

Steps to Reproduce

Try setting an UNC path as download location in the fab download settings. You will already see that a slash in front of the path is missing (see screenshot), it should actually be two slashes (//server/share/ instead of /server/share/)

Expected Result

With quixel bridge setting an UNC path as your download location was no problem. Downloads could be saved on a network drive and be imported from there.

Observed Result

With Fab setting an UNC path as download location makes it so no textures are being downloaded and thereby the material does not have any textures applied to it on import.

Platform

Cinema 4D

Operating System
