Description:
The Administration - Server Status tab in Workbench 6.3.9 for Windows uses both '\' and '/' for a file system path separator when it should use '\'

How to repeat:
Open the Administration - Server Status tab in Workbench 6.3.9 for Windows and look at the Error Log, General Log, and Slow Query Log file path strings.

Suggested fix:
Exclusively use '\' for Windows

Use '\' for Windows OS.

Thank you for the bug report. Please see my prior attached screenshot, please check your my.ini for these paths. Thanks.

What does one have to do with the other?

I believe the first image I submitted is sufficient for this report--no further info should be required from me. (By the way: I've noticed you have a habit of asking reporters to submit additional info which has no bearing on the bug.)

Anyway, if you can't figure out by looking at the first image that it is a bug for WB to use '\' for one file path, and '/' for the other two, then I can't help you any further.

NOT A BUG.
