Description

Fixed error referenced in #11209 (thanks @zanderz!) but now have a separate error. When clicking "open folder" in the app, I get a warning pane with the message openWithCurrentMountDir requires K prefix: /keybase/public/brush701. The folder does not open, though KBFS is mounted and works perfectly through explorer.

my log id: 18b9b2221029da25677e521c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Open Folder action on Windows 10 with KBFS mounted, using the reported path and log ID 18b9b2221029da25677e521c. Trace why openWithCurrentMountDir rejects the /keybase/public/brush701 path; done means the folder opens without the warning pane.
