0.83: Slash instead of backslash in copied filename and path

When using the Edit > Copy to clipboard > Filename and path function, the path is copied with / instead of \ which makes the path unusable in Windows. I would often use this feature to quickly get the image file in a "browse" dialog to upload it to a website or insert it in a document, however I cannot use this in XnView I have to use Windows Explorer.

In case others have had problems with this, I just found a handy workaround: adding file:/// before the path makes it usable in Windows dialogs. At least in Windows 10.
