Latest version in Win 11 won't open files on my network

[Kevin]

New install of Windows 11 Pro and of Avidemux's latest 2.8.1 VC. My Windows Explorer recognizes the folder on a networked computer, AND I can open files from there via right-click Open With. I cannot, however, open them from within Avidemux unless I copy them to my Win11 PC.

Presumably fixed a long time ago, but after the 2.8.1 release which is outright ancient. Please update to the last available 2.8.2 build (currently from May 26, 2025) from avidemux.org/nightly/vsWin64/.
