I understand there's no intention of a windows release, but I have a question regarding utilizing the tool using WSL. I've installed the latest release of rmlint, I'm running Ubuntu on WSL2 and I have been able to run the GUI. I add the directory mnt/C/Downloads and the scan comes up with nothing found. Is this due to how the filesystems work between windows and linux? Would this setup work somehow? I've not been able to find much documentation regarding using Linux specific tools in WSL on windows subdirectories.
You can see in the above screenshot I am trying to get it to scan the drives in totality, but it seems to only scan that level if at all.
Scanning a specific directory shows no results with 0 Bytes
Running only the rmlint command shows that this could be a permissions issue, but how would I go about allowing Ubuntu permissions to read my windows file structures?
If I feed it a specific directory it works like it should, I'm gonna read through the GUI section again to make sure I didn't miss anything. It's not a huge issue since the tool works through the terminal but a GUI is always fun
