[FEATURE] Load settings for existing distros

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Problem?

When loading WSL Manager for the first time with existing Distros deployed, the Settings panel shows everything as disabled (automount, systemd etc) though it may already be enabled in the distro. Changing these settings increases risk therefore.

Solution

Load existing settings from distros rather than having disabled defaults.

I second @dalgibbard on this request.

Nevertheless, congrats on this beautiful app, and thanks for sharing it in the open 🙏

i just installed it (via Chocolatey) and launched it. it doesn't show any distros at all - i have 6 installed including the 2 docker ones. the 'home' tab is just a grey window.

this happens if the "default distro location" doesn't exist and it doesn't have permissions to create it. why is that directory required at all until creating a new distro?
