Could the trailing slash be added to "location" while navigating folders?

Could trailing slash (or url encoded %2F) be added to the location= option in URLs while navigating file tree? E.g. instead of https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000026/draft/files?location=derivatives%2FEPIC%2Fsub-EXC022 having https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000026/draft/files?location=derivatives%2FEPIC%2Fsub-EXC022%2F when getting to that folder?

The rationale: in dandi-cli, to not guess on either we are to deal with an asset or a folder we disambiguate with that trailing /. It used to be that Web ui had it and then users could simply cut/paste folder URL from the browser. Since some time (not noticed when) web UI stopped adding that final / and it broke that simple workflow of "cut/paste url into dandi download".

I'll just point out that the location parameter always refers to a folder, and can never be used to refer to an asset, so I don't understand the issue you're dealing with. Regardless, it seems that there's also some inconsistencies with trailing slashes in the GUI itself, and if it doesn't break anything downstream, I have no issue always adding a trailing slash.

ok, we are adjusting dandi-cli code to hardcode the knowledge that location in that URL (but not in dandi:// urls which we also have) could point only to a folder: dandi/dandi-cli#1305. Thank you @AlmightyYakob for pointing that out! I will leave it up to you either to add the final / to exemplify that fact, and to close this issue one way or another.
