Absolute links seem to be broken for "file:" on Windows

[Euthoniel]

On Windows. Relative links work with the file prefix without issue, and markdown links using absolute path also work without error.

If I use "file:C:\Users\user\file.py" as my path, Windows tries to open the file with the default program, but starts at the location of the file I'm in. For example, if the above link was in C:\Project\Start.md, Windows would try to open the file at "C:\Project\C:\Users\user\file.py".

If I start the path with / instead of C:, the file opens correctly with the default program, but Neovim gives the below error.

Thanks for the bug report! Can you pull the latest update and try this again? I think this was just due to a small typo in one of the regexes that helps identify absolute paths in Windows.

It works now with file:C:, but Neovim still gives the same error from the image in the first post, despite opening files correctly.

This should be fixed now--can you check and report back? Thanks.

I get a slightly different error now, see attached. The file still opens correctly.

Ok, I figured out where this was ultimately coming from, I think. Can you pull again and let me know if there are any errors?

[Euthoniel]

Yes, it works without errors. Thanks for fixing it, especially so quickly.

Great! Thanks for testing it repeatedly.
