V1 files created on a PC store OS specific path delimiters in the .ormdesigner XML file.

For example:

This causes an issue on OSX which crashes ORM Designer 2, and seems like this will be an issue with any cross OS development that might be done on a team.

Changing that line ( an any other line pointing to an external XML file ) to the following fixes the issue on OSX:

All that changed was update the \ backslash, to a / forward slash.

This will update the .ormdesigner file to work fine on OSX, but now it is likely broken for PC users... I know our projects are under a git repository and a developer can use any OS to edit/update the project.

So having a method in place to handle how each OS uses a path delimiter would work well to insure that ORM designer projects can be cross platform as well, not just the App ;)
