Winepath doesn't appear to work properly

I've been opening files in Windows applications using variations of the following shell script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
loc="/home/user/path/to/application.exe"
par=`winepath -w "$*"`
wine "$loc" "$par"
exit 0

For example, here's how I open sound files in Winamp:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
loc="/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Winamp/WINAMP.EXE"
par=`winepath -w "$*"`
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 wine "$loc" "$par"
exit 0

It worked until Wine 7.5. Since Wine 7.5 it only opens the applications, not the file - for example, Winamp now opens with an "Open File" dialog instead of just playing the file.
How do I pass over the path to file to Wine applications in shell scripts now? I do need to use shell scripts for some of the applications that I use, because they leave a bunch of background processes open even after closing, and the script takes care of that.

It looks like the par variabele is empty.
Does the winepath command work?

Code: Select all

command -v winepath

Sorry it took so long to reply, here's the output:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/winepath

I think I figured it out. Instead of using "$par" I'm just using winepath directly.
Here's how the earlier script looks now:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
loc="/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Winamp/WINAMP.EXE"
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 wine "$loc" winepath -w "$*"
exit 0

Now everything loads as it should.
