[Question] How should the library path be set in WSL2?

[Zebartin]

First of all, thank Mango developers very much.

I am using Mango binary, downloaded from latest release, in WSL2, and it works well when I set the library path to a directory inside Linux file system. But it fails to work if I set it to a path referring to somewhere inside Windows file system, like /mnt/d/comic/ in WSL2, which means D:\comic\ in Windows. Mango did scan some entries once or twice, but not complete. And I did chmod recursively the library path to prevent permission issues.

Here is the log:

my work around for wsl2 was to delete the mango/library folder and then symlink the windows directory e.g. rmdir mango/library ln -s /mnt/d/comic/ /home/zebartin/mango/library
