Hi,
I am used to dragging and dropping files a lot. However, files on the disk should be dropped with names like
/mnt/c/pagefile.sysinstead of/cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys.The most simple way is to
$ sudo ln -s /mnt /cygdriveHowever, this requires a
sudoand the change of the root content, whereas in my opinion, wsltty should not change the LXSS.Another simple soluton without changing the
newlib-cygwinis to replace "/cygdrive" with "/mnt", as this patch does.Of course there is still a known issue: the installation folder of wsltty will still be recognized as "/". But usually users will not visit the installation directory of wsltty from the Linux subsystem. Therefore this simple patch is enough for the most cases.
Best regards
