Description
When running i.maxlik from the GRASS7 tools in the Processing toolbox, the command fails when copying the signature file to the temporary GRASS mapset. The failure is due to the default Windows file path separator (\) being altered to a Linux one (/) by the tool script.
This has been previously reported here:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/244245/osgeo4w-qgis-2-18-9-grass-i-maxlik-cant-find-signature-on-windows-10-network
A fix is supplied in the form of a patch to the copyFile function in the GRASS i. Processing utils module here:
<QGIS Install Dir>\apps\qgis\python\plugins\processing\algs\grass7\ext\i.py
However the alteration of the path occurs in the getParameterValue function.
