Hi,
I'm trying to run a utility that only supports Windows, however it allows me to test in an application that has a native build available. Since it passes arguments to an .exe or .bat, it should be rather trivial to do so, however I'm having trouble actually launching a native application from within WINE. I've tried modifying some of the techniques found on the Winepath article, but those seem to be for filetypes as a whole and not just a single application.
Help would be appreciated.

Well, for example, to use GIMP as external editor in IrfanView.exe, I use
It's a bit finicky, but I found using bash as intermediate helps a lot.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Code: Select all
Z:\bin\bash "-c "gimp \"$(winepath '%1')\"""
