• [Bug]: Update command and install instructions for Win11/WSL2 #15926

using wsl-open directory don't work anymore

in the post he suggest using wslview from wslu but that requires installing an extra piece of software on system

I looked around and apparently one use can wslpath to convert a wsl path to windows path then call explorer.exe in wsl

        subprocess.Popen(["explorer.exe", subprocess.check_output(["wslpath", "-w", path])])

it is possible to make this into one subprocess call using bash but I didn't because I don't want to deal with escaping and quoting characters

I have tested using a standalone script inside my WSL that this seems to work properly
I have not tested in full and across different flavors of wsl
