Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
Vicinae appends a / to a path when selecting a directory in Windows. Additionally, Paths use / instead of \ , which is standard on Windows

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Choose a directory in settings (I was using the prism launcher extension)
  2. Select the directory.

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
The path is formatted like C:\Users\example\example and not /C:/Users/example/example

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here.
I believe this also breaks other Raycast extensions, as the Google Search extension crashes unless "Remember search history" is off. This might be due to the auto-generated path by Vicinae is not valid in Windows.
