Summary

Cannot launch application from widget whenn using flag in the command.

For Example:
This does not launch the app(the icon is still correctly detected).

  "Applications": {
    "enable": true,
    "display": "Icon",
    "items": [
      {
        "command": "C:/Program Files/Git/git-bash.exe --cd-to-home",
        "display": "Icon",
        "enable": true,
        "name": "Bash",
        "show_command_on_hover": true
      }
    ]
  }

This does work.

"command": "C:/Program Files/Git/git-bash.exe",

Is there a specific syntax to make this work?

I also tried the below, but this also broke the icon detection
"command": "\"C:/Program Files/Git/git-bash.exe\" --cd-to-home"

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\Scott

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Scott

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\Scott\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Possibly not a bug but a feature request. I was able to get around the problem by first creating a shortcut with the required flags then launching the shortcut via komorebi

This is what I'm doing as well; I'll accept a patch to handle args and flags better if someone wants to work on it
