Description:
When either creating a model from an existing SQL script or importing an SQL script using the "Reverse Engineer SQL Script" function (File --> Import) valid windows paths generates an error "Invalid Path", if pasted from clipboard to the "Select SQL script file" input box of the wizard (screen 1).

How to repeat:
(1) Open the wizard
(2) Select the path in the Address box of file explorer and copy it
(3) Go to the wizard and paste the path. 

Suggested fix:
Probably, this is only a parsing issue for the field entry. If the "Browse" button is used, the path is entered into the box in the same format.

I believe content from clipboard has a 'windows newline' (\r\n) at the end.

I tried to test Peter Laursen's comment by deleting the last character and everything beyond (shift-end to mark) and re-insert the last character. Unfortunately, this does not help.

the err also appears when typing a path

Fixed in repository.

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.30 changelog:

When importing a SQL script using the Reverse Engineer SQL Script wizard, copying a path from the clipboard to the Select SQL script file input box, resulted in an “invalid path” error.
