DirectoryChooser and the path separator

Aryeh Weiss
I have the following that runs on a Windows 7 - 64 bit OS

inputDirPath = DirectoryChooser("choose a directory").getDirectory()
print inputDirPath

and the output of this is:

C:\User\Desktop\New folder/

Notice that the path separators are Windows-like ("\") except for the
rightmost character ("/").

I can strip that character and work around this, but is it a bug, or is
there an option that I need to set?

Tnx in advance

This should not be a problem since both “/“ and “\” are accepted in Windows file paths.
