Thanks for the report

I want to correct a problem, the crash occurs at the selection stage instead of opening it, and I have the details bar enabled, maybe it has something to do with this feature

Can you see if this is an issue in the preview version. https://files.community/download

Have the same problem and it occurs in both versions.
!!! If I move the linke with win standard file explorer to another place, I can the also work with it within files !!!

i think the problem only occurs with shortcut items that are part of a git repository. i am working on a solution

[Liguma]

I confirm - only in git
