Yes, its an annoying bug. Stumbled upon it while freeing up some space from my C drive.

Hi @bostrot, This error was caused by DistroPath not being set. I fixed it in the following pull request https://github.com/bostrot/wsl2-distro-manager/pull/209 Please help to review the pull request

Now it simply crashes the distro manager when changing the volume path.

The application crashed by the FilePicker.platform.getDirectoryPath method. I've seen it before. If you change the path by selecting, the application will exit. If you change the path by typing, no error will appear. Looks like it comes from the file_picker library.
