The function actually seems to work quite well once you understand what the goal is:

1- Ignore non-valid paths
2- Enforce POSIX minimum path of '/'
2- On Win32 jump from 'C:\' & '\\Server' style paths straight to '' path

Without these conditions the function would be:
name = GetFileTitle(dir);
dir = GetFileFolder(dir);

The only change I would make would be to remove trailing DIR_SEPs, but you can always add something like this:
if (dir.GetLength() > 1) {
	const char *eos = dir.End()-1;
	int cnt = 0;
	while (*eos == DIR_SEP && eos > dir.Begin()) {
		eos--;
		cnt++;	
	}
	if (cnt) {
	#ifdef PLATFORM_WIN32
		if (*eos != ':')
	#endif
		{
			dir.Remove(dir.GetLength()-cnt, cnt);
		}
	}
}
