Hi , i ve tried paths on WSL  
/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ (x86)/Windows\ Kits/10

When path has spaces on WSL we use "\ " to show its a space.  
But this doesnt work on Opus Directory it shows invalid path.  
Cuts the after the "\ " sign

Please give some more context. Where are you using these paths? In a button? In the path field? Somewhere else?

Paths (and command arguments in general) containing spaces typically need to be quoted in most contexts within Opus, outside of the path field where they can be used as-is.
