Description
The starcktrace is bellow. It mentions some access problems, but I can't understand what's wrong as I open those files in explorer just fine.
Command 'OpenFile' raised error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fman\impl\plugins\command_registry.py", line 128, in _execute_command
File "C:\Users\ch\AppData\Local\fman\Versions\1.5.2\Plugins\Core\core\commands\__init__.py", line 294, in __call__
_open_files([url])
File "C:\Users\ch\AppData\Local\fman\Versions\1.5.2\Plugins\Core\core\commands\__init__.py", line 323, in _open_files
_open_local_file(path)
File "C:\Users\ch\AppData\Local\fman\Versions\1.5.2\Plugins\Core\core\commands\__init__.py", line 341, in _open_local_file
ShellExecute(0, None, path, None, cwd, SW_SHOWNORMAL)
pywintypes.error: (5, 'ShellExecute', 'Access is denied.')

Research direction
Start in Plugins/Core/core/commands/init.py at _open_local_file, called by the OpenFile command, and inspect the ShellExecute call in the traceback. Reproduce the command on Windows with a file that opens in Explorer, then identify the condition causing the access-denied error. Done means the cause and expected OpenFile behavior are established and verified.
