Found something weird (not a bug report)

[rado84]

I was trying to create a menu shortcut for notepad++ and while trying to figure it out why Cinnamon's menu editor doesn't accept the path to notepad++.exe, I found something else which I find quite weird. Again, this is not a bug report, I'm just wondering where that huge difference comes from.

If you open a new .desktop file and type

Code: Select all

Exec=wine /path/to/notepad++.exe

in it, the program starts after 5-6 seconds.

But if you create a new bash script file with content

Code: Select all

wine /path/to/notepad++.exe

and then in the .desktop file you enter

Code: Select all

Exec=/path/to/new-bash-script.sh

then the program starts instantly, as if it's native.
