Description Thomas Krumbein 2017-07-25 15:40:02 UTC 
Description:
When I use the service "com.sun.star.util.PathSettings" or the singleton "thePathSettings", the delivered path for all internal LO pathes are in a very strange format and not direct usable. 

For example: 
"module" delivers the following path:
"file:///C:/Program%20Files/LibreOffice%205/program/../program"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a basic code :


Sub Main
  oPath = createUnoService("com.sun.star.util.PathSettings")
  
  msgbox oPath.module
End Sub

or use singleton:

Sub Main
  oPath = getDefaultContext.getValueByName("/singletons/com.sun.star.util.thePathSettings")
  
  msgbox oPath.module
End Sub

2. run the Macro
3.

Actual Results:  
see pic1 (path2.png)

Expected Results:
as in former times... I expected an usable path-string. 

for example: OpenOffice still delivers the correct path (see pic2 path.png)




Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I checked this behavior even with the 5.3.x line of LO, same strange result.

No difference between Linux or Windows versions.

Seems to me, that there is a problem of resolving internal of the returned string. 

I can read the string... means file:///....../progam -> go back one folder (..) -> add folder /<text>   

But I need the correct pathname as for example will delivered by "work" or "temp".

I can only reproduce this issue on Windows.

On Linux I do not get the weird "program/../program" part.
