Description
On Windows 7, I have a mapped drive pointed to an SMB share. Browsing works fine, if slow. If I right click and open in sublime text, the tab opens with the filename but the contents aren't filled in.
I found that Sublime thinks it's opening the UNC path, which I think is wrong - it should use the mapped drive path since that's what appears in the fman UI.
Does fman resolve to UNC before passing to sublime?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows 7 case with a mapped drive pointing to an SMB share, then use the right-click “open in” action with Sublime Text. Trace which path fman passes when the file is opened and compare the mapped-drive path with the UNC path. Done means Sublime receives the mapped-drive path and displays the file contents.
