file_dialog crashes when navigating to folder without read permissions

My Issue/Question

When using file_dialog and browsing to a folder that the current user does not have access to, dpg will crash.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open dearpygui.dearpygui.add_file_dialog
2. Navigate to a folder you don't have permissions to
3. Try to get into the folder, dpg will crash

Expected behavior

Expectation that dpg will not crash when attempting to navigate into folder one doesn't have permissions to. Behavior should be to stay in the parent directory.

Standalone, minimal, complete and verifiable example

# Here's some code anyone can copy and paste to reproduce your issue
import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg

dpg.create_context()
dpg.create_viewport()
dpg.setup_dearpygui()

dpg.add_file_dialog(label="File Dialog", show=True)

dpg.show_viewport()
dpg.start_dearpygui()
dpg.destroy_context()

Is this still in consideration? I just got this problem myself when trying to navigate to "My Documents", which ironically I do have permissions for...

Sorry for the late response. This will be fixed.
