BUG: Explorer plugin doesn't allow adding file in Quick Access Links

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

• I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

Under Plugins/Explorer/Quick Access Links, I tried adding a path with Type of File, but after I save it and open it again, I see that Type becomes Folder instead of File. I tried accessing the name through search, and I can't open the file by pressing Enter - after I press Enter, the path in the search bar is appended a \.

To Reproduce

1. Navigate to Plugins/Explorer/Quick Access Links
2. Add a path pointing to a file with Type selected as File
3. Search with the name used in step 2

I understand the issue here. The following character \ of the path make it be recognized as a folder instead of file.

No it doesn't solve the problem. I successfully used it to access an xml file, but when it comes to exe file, it still added " \ " to the end when I hit Enter, making it not useful.

Could you please provide your test explorer setting file with this issue?

[Jack251970]

It is under %AppData%\FlowLauncher\Settings\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Settings.json

I deleted this file after I found it didn't solve the issue. Now I couldn't download it again. Is it helpful to provide the JSON for 1.20.1 I installed before?

I think I found where the problem is. If I type in the Name field first, choose File, then choose the path, it will overwrite File with Folder. If I choose File, then choose path, and overwrite the automatically filled Name with my own name, then it will preserve the File selection and work as expected.

Many thanks for providing this! Now I can target the issue.
