Problem Description

I'm using flow launcher, whenI use my own version of node flow doesn't load.

Edit: While I was writing this turns out my fan goes down, I check the task manager and I realize probably node was installing things in the background. WHY IS THERE NOT FEEDBACK FOR THIS?? Can we use bun instead? Are we sure every extension can work with it? Can the UI load while extensions are being installed? Because I installed like 4 at once

To Reproduce

  1. I tried windows winget but that didn't work anyway, that's out of this problem
  2. So I instaled the .exe and restarted
  3. I added some pugins
  4. restarted flow launcher
  5. I was prompted to use node, I already have it so I select the folder.
  6. turns out it was a symbolik link folder so I tried finding the actual location
  7. Used that instead
  8. Ater that is just loading with some CPU usage but I don't see anythng

Could you please check if this problem still exists in 1.20.1?

Yeah, now it seems to work fast, I could also select my installed python and node executables, so it's fixed
