Unable to change drive / volume on windows

Is there a way to navigate to a different drive on windows?

Hi! I haven't actually used tere on Windows almost at all, so it very well might be that this is not possible currently, but ideally it should be. What happens if you type / to go to the root?

I tried using ".." to navigate further up and also "/", no effect.

Thanks for the video! This is definitely something that should be fixed.

The approach that immediately comes to mind would be to extend the file system navigation (with #[cfg(windows)]) to pretend that we have a root folder under which the drives would be. It's probably quite ugly but I can't think of another way to do it. Maybe Path has some API to go beyond the drive root.

I might not have time to work on this before next year, but patches are definitely always welcome.
