Bug Description

Under Settings > Files.

The list tile that shows the location of the current AppFlowy workspace has inconsistent path separators on Windows (shows / and \ in the same path).

How to Reproduce

I don't know how to reproduce it, but this fix is easy. The SettingsLocationCubit from settings_location_cubit.dart has the following path getter on :24 that parses the file system path.

  String? get path {
    if (Platform.isMacOS) {
      // remove the prefix `/Volumes/*`
      return _path?.replaceFirst(RegExp(r'^/Volumes/[^/]+'), '');
    }
   /*
   if Platform.isWindows, replace all instances of '/' with '\'
   */
    return _path;
  }

Expected Behavior

AppFlowy should show the path with \ separators instead of '/' separators on Windows.

Operating System

Windows 10

AppFlowy Version(s)

main
