Problem Description

Hi, this is the first time I'm using FL and I wanted to open folders in "Flow Launcher" with Files, but it gives me an error.

I've searched for other solutions but nothing helps

To Reproduce

  1. Open FL Settings>General>Default File Manager
  2. Pick the Files Integrated setup
  3. Change Path to Files-Stable
