Hi,

The issue I have is that I get the errormessage : "fs.errors.CreateFailed: root path 'C:\pyfilesytem_test_dir\DJI_0355.JPG' does not exist" when using getinfo. I have tried several ways to specify the path, but still get the issue.
I provide samle code below.

Sample 1

  import fs
   
  class WindowsFileHandler:
     def __init__(self, file_path):
         self.file_path = file_path

 
     def extract_filename_and_path(self):
         with fs.open_fs('osfs://' + self.file_path) as filesystem:
             if filesystem.exists(self.file_path):
                 # Extract the filename and path
                 file_info = filesystem.getinfo(self.file_path)
                 filename = file_info.name
                 directory = file_info.parent
                 return filename, directory
             else:
                 return None, None

if __name__ == '__main__':
   # Replace 'C:/path/to/your/file' with the actual path to the file on your Windows system.
   file_path = r'C:\pyfilesytem_test_dir\DJI_0355.JPG'
   file_handler = WindowsFileHandler(file_path)
   filename, directory = file_handler.extract_filename_and_path()
   
   if filename and directory:
       print("File Name:", filename)
       print("Directory Path:", directory)
   else:
       print("File not found.")

Sample 2

`import fs
from fs import open_fs
path = 'C:\\test_dir\\DJI_0355.JPG'  # Use double backslashes or raw string for Windows path
with open_fs(path) as filesystem:
    if filesystem.exists(path):
        # Extract the filename and path
        filename = filesystem.getinfo(path).name
        directory = filesystem.getinfo(path).parent
        print("File Name:", filename)
        print("Directory Path:", directory)
    else:
        print("File not found.")

Both codesnippets gets the following result:
"fs.errors.CreateFailed: root path 'C:\pyfilesytem_test_dir\DJI_0355.JPG' does not exist"

Event though the path and file exists.

Thanks in advance for support or suggestions!
