How to access files from Windows Subsystem for Linux \\wsl$\

Install & build

Hi all,
I am running salome-9.14.0 on Windows. I want to open files from my Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu) from the location \wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home. When trying to open them with Salome, I get this error:

When I try open it manually with exec(open
\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\Cylinder_1.stl
the same error occurs.
I also cant save any wsl-Directory in the Quick Directory List (Preferences) because Salome then tells me the path does not exist.

Thank you very much for your responds.

Hello,
There are known issues with the path on Windows, especially with space and special characters.
But in your case the error seems to indicate an issue with the file itself. Did you try to open it directly from the Windows file system?

And in fact “exec” command is for Python script not a data file.
To import stl file, in SMESH go to File Menu > Import > Import STL.

Yes, I tried to open it directly from the windows system accessing the wsl-Folder through windows explorer. Then the error occured.

I cannot access any wsl folder via the inbuilt file explorer of salome, because it does not show the Ubuntu folder at all.
