Handling '/' (forward slashes) in the location bar

Since I use cygwin, I often end up copying a file path that has forward slashes instead of back slashes. When I paste these paths into the freecommander location, I am taken to that directory, but when I attempt to open the files there, nothing happens.

If I change all the '/'s to '\'s, then the items will open.

It is very annoying to have to edit cygwin paths to be able to access my files, so I usually end up using an explorer window in these cases, and I'd rather not.

Thanks!
