fd: [BUG] `--strip-cwd-prefix` does nothing
Sorry for not using the official bug template, it always returned error code 400 on my end, and acted pretty buggy in general.
Bug description
I use a variant of the following line to find pdf files and sort them by date:
fd --strip-cwd-prefix -e pdf -X ls -t
--strip-cwd-prefix should remove the leading ./ string from the output (as per https://github.com/sharkdp/fd/pull/861). However, this string is still present in the output of fd in my interactive shell session, as well as in my shell scripts.
Expected behavior
fd should always remove the leading ./ when I invoke it with --strip-cwd-prefix.

The -t option to ls should sort by time, newest first. Maybe xargs is splitting it into multiple calls to ls?
Ah, sorry. My bad. Still needs the
--strip-cwd-prefixoption, of course. Also, to avoid https://github.com/sharkdp/fd/issues/760, we should add a--argument tols:
