Filtered menu items. What am I missing?

[GollyJer]

The most recent discussion of filtered menus I can find is here. When I add the following to my menu.xml I get a filtered screen with nothing in it. V:\Downloads is the exact path of the import folder. The videos show up on the general, unfiltered video menu.
What am I missing? Thanks.

<internalScreenMenuItem icon="hover_my tv.png" screen="Video Library Folder View" title="Downloads">
  <evalExpression>AddStaticContext("PathFilterExprs", new_java_util_ArrayList())</evalExpression>
  <evalExpression>java_util_List_add(PathFilterExprs, "V:\Downloads")</evalExpression>
  <evalExpression>AddStaticContext("PathFilterExcludes", false)</evalExpression>
</internalScreenMenuItem>

Do you need to use a unc path instead?

I haven't tried this, so this is only a guess, but sometimes you must use a double slash because a slash can be treated as a special escape character. Try: "V:\\Downloads"

That was it Tiki, thanks. I wouldn't have even thought to try double slashes when using local paths. They're usually used when working with UNC paths.
