Yes, we could do that to help some users who are not distinguishing internal epub paths from external OS file paths.

But then I would worry that those same people may start using the wrong folder separator in hrefs and src attributes and epub root relative paths throughout css, opf, xhtml, ncx, etc. Also because BookBrowser is not meant to be a FileBrowser that change may confuse things even more.

So Sigil when dealing with paths internal to the epub tries to uniformly use the forward slash just like Qt and Python in this regard. At least that was the design idea.

Yes, it should be an easy change to make, I am just not sure it is for the best. But I am no Windows user, so perhaps others will weigh in on if this will serve to just confuse users or not.
