At submit-time, paths can be automatically translated so they match what the renderfarm Workers expect. It is a simple string replace. Set the "Path Translation Map" parameters to have the "From" field list the exact value to change, and the "To" field to the new value. It will perform the path translation based on the order of the listed map items.
Example:
- Converting OSX Volumes to a UNC path:
- From:/Volumes/myserver
- To: \\myserver
- Changing all \ (backslash) to /
- From: \
- To:/
Alternative: For Linux and OSX Workers, one can set up symbolic links so that Windows UNC paths can resolve. Without any path translation needed. For example, the path //myserver/mydir resolves to /myserver/mydir on
