Os:Pop!_os

Issue:
I am facing this issue while running adl on Pop!_Os ,when ever i do ./adl,i get :

invalid preview window layout: down,5%
Nothing was selected. Exiting. 

Thank you for using adl ✨! 
Exiting. 

Did you install all the dependencies?
Yes i did,infact i also installed all the optional dependencies.
Did you try to install adl on any other distro
No i didn't,but i think that this issue might might be Os specific.

Edit:

Workaround\Solution:

Below is the solution to the problem

Fix:

OK,so it only occurred to me now ,that maybe the version of fzf i installed from apt might be outdated and it seems i was right.the version of apt is outdated and doesn't have that --preview switch in it.i removed the version that i installed from apt and then reinstalled latest version using their install script and now all seems to be working fine.

link for fzf Github repo:https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/#Using-git
Linux Users should not install fzf via their package manager.you can git clone the repo and install it using their install script.

I think you should pin this issue ,so anyone who faces this issue would benefit from it.

Can you tell me what version you were using before?

Anyhow, I added to readme. Partially is my fault for not thinking about outdated fzf package.
