Escape character for '/' as a directory seperator?

[MelodicsVincent]

With the existing implementation of TestServer.cpp, would it be possible to search for a path that contains a '/' without treating the '/' as a directory seperator? e.g. 'mainWindow/1/2' where '1/2' is the object to find

If not, what modifications could be done to the existsAndVisible function?

Currently this is not possible as spix simply splits the path at any '/' without the option for an escape character.
This shouldn't be too difficult to fix though.

The conversion from string to spix' path object happens here and would just need to deal with escape characters:

spix/lib/src/Data/ItemPath.cpp

Lines 21 to 32 in a88161b

	ItemPath::ItemPath(const std::string& path)
	{
	std::stringstream pathss(path);
	while (pathss) {
	std::string component;
	getline(pathss, component, '/');
	if (component.length() > 0) {
	m_components.push_back(std::move(component));
	}
	}
	}

And then one would also have to adapt the inverse conversion back to strings:

spix/lib/src/Data/ItemPath.cpp

Lines 49 to 61 in a88161b

	std::string ItemPath::string() const
	{
	std::string path;
	for (auto& component : m_components) {
	if (!path.empty()) {
	path += "/";
	}
	path += component;
	}
	return path;
	}

Last but not least, the unit tests would have to be extended:

spix/lib/tests/unittests/Data/ItemPath_test.cpp

Line 11 in a88161b

TEST(ItemPathTest, InitWithPathString)
