[Bug report] Explorer button not always working on windows

[Jens Odborg]

On windows when cloning a repository and if specifying a "Destination Path:" that contains both backslashes and forward slashes instead of only backward slashes the Explorer button does not work

[Zara Aron]

Good catch on this. Path formatting issues like mixed slashes can be surprisingly hard to notice, especially on Windows where some apps handle them differently. Hopefully this helps others avoid the same confusion when cloning repositories in Sourcetree.

Hi @Jens Odborg ,

There's some mention of that here (although, for Bitbucket): Troubleshooting Bitbucket Git issues 
Apparently, using forward slashes or mixing both types can cause unexpected behavior or errors in Windows applications, including Sourcetree.

Seems like the only workaround would be to use backslashes in order for the Explorer button to function as expected.

There are also a couple of bugs reported related to this topic, so you might want to takea  look at those: Sourcetree - Open Issues - 'backslash' 

Cheers,
Tobi
