After updating to Obsidian v1.4.5, the Templates plugin has stopped to recognize the root directory of a vault as a valid template folder location.

Steps to reproduce

2. Go to “Templates” under “Core plugins”.
3. Set “Template folder location” to “/”.

4. Close settings.
5. Open any note.
6. Select the “Templates: Insert template” command from the Command palette.

Expected result

For a proper template selection window to appear.

Actual result
