call a Linux program from RawTherapee running in wine

[fherb]

Hi,

since current start problems by using RawTherapee under Kubuntu 16.04LTS, I installed the Windows version with Wine. Works very good and stable.

Question:

RawTherapee can start an other image editor program via command line. For example GIMP. I installed GIMP and the Linux call is /usr/bin/gimp-2.8 . It is possible to set such a call in RawTherapee or any other Windows program using wine what can call other programs? What I can configure in RawTherapee is a command line call of an application.

Sorry, Gimp is not the best example: It starts but doesn't open the image, only. But when I try an other application. like /usr/bin/okular
, it doesn't open this.

Hiya fherb,

You can launch native Linux applications from within a WINEPREFIX - see WineHQ FAQ: 5.8 How do I launch native applications from a Windows application?

Obviously I'd recommend reading through the whole of the WineHQ FAQ - since you clearly haven't done so yet!! Useful wisdom is contained within...

Thanks, Bob!

And darn! I was reading all the headlines in the FAQ before I post my question. But I have really overlook that!

But some experiments shown, that RawTherapee (maybe all programs under wine; because maybe a wine api feature) can recognize the difference if I call a Wine-installed program by using a letter at beginning like C:/... or I want to call a Linux program by using Linux like style: /usr/bin/...

Thats interesting. And it solves all my problems.

The results of this went into the RawTherapee documentation (at first in German book only): http://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/Edit_Cu ... unter_Wine
