Drag and drop to

Post by amendoa4ever »

Hi, I am ULTRA new to Linux and wine. I am trying to use a watch face creator from Amazfit and they only run on windows. My problem being I have to drag and drop a file onto the .exe file so that it runs through the program and generates a .bin file. I have tried using the wine explorer but it doesn't seem to work, and I don't know how to try it through the terminal. I appreciate any help I can get.

Maybe you can convert the file with:

Code: Select all

wine amazfit-convert-program.exe some-file
Do you have a name and/ or link to the program?

The program is watchface.exe and is used to convert bin files to json files and vice-versa. It doesn't need to be installed, in windows it gets dragged and dropped on the exe file and converts automatically.
What could be the command line for that?

Is this the program you are talking about?
https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/blog/crea ... hfaces-bin

Then you can convert the files with:

Code: Select all

# Go to the directory where WatchFace.exe is.
# I assume the .bin file is in the same folder as WatchFace.exe
# For example the Downloads/Amazfit directory
cd Downloads/Amazfit

# Convert the bin file
wine WatchFace.exe en_mario_odyssey_animated-37039-960e4e6ca0.bin
