viewing WSL drives in fman
Hi, I'm trying to view WSL drives in Fman.
In regular windows explorer it has this path
\\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04
I tried putting that into the crtl-p navigator and it didn't take.
I also tried launching fman from my ubuntu terminal at root with fman . and it can't find the program. I did try adding fman to my path in multiple ways, but I couldn't get it to go.
Here is my current path for fman on windows
C:\Users\gilad\AppData\Local\fman
which leads directly to the .exe, so I don't know why it's not working.
I've tried both in ubuntu (hoping it would work like explorer.exe . ) and in powershell / cmd, but it can't find it.
The reason I wanted to launch fman from terminal was I thought if I did that, it would automatically load it in the WSL drive, that's how I got it to show up in windows explorer
I really like the simplicity of fman vs total commander and would be very happy to pay for it, provided I could use my Linux files as well on windows.
I searched around and didn't find anything on this - so here is my post! Thanks a lot ahead of time!
I found a workaround for this Just open your windows file explorer and navigate to any directory in your wsl Then make a shortcut to that directory in a directory that is accessible for fman (ie. Desktop) Navigate to that directory (Desktop) using fman and open the shortcut to the wsl directory You will be in wsl fs, just use the favs plugin to bookmark that dir
