kubectl cp from errors and does not download to the selected location (windows)

[hahn-kev]

when I click the option, it prompts me to chose a location. After I do, it executes cd /D c:\download-location the problem is that cd /D gives the error Set-Location: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument when it's run in powershell.

Testing it out, it looks like powershell does not need or support the /D flag. You can determine which terminal is used by checking the setting terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows, there are a lot of potential options. But you could probably just say, if the terminal is CMD or Command Prompt then you need to pass the /D flag, otherwise you can probably skip it.
