Changes (by datallah):

  * version:  2.7.1 => 2.7.2


Comment:

 The reason for this is that we're asking Windows to open
 `file://cleopatra/testfolder/testdoc.docx`, we actually end up sending
 `cleopatra/testfolder/testdoc.docx` to Windows explorer (which clearly
 doesn't work for this scenario).  It'll take some investigation to make
 sure changing that behavior wont cause problems with something else.

 As a workaround, you can use `file://\\cleopatra/testfolder/testdoc.docx`
