Wine staging 10.11 and Irfanviev

[HunHKPK]

After updating to Wine 10.11 (staging) on Linux Mint got a problem with Irfanview.
Issue: by clicking on an image file got an error message:

Z:\<path>\filename : Can't read file header!
Unknown file format, empty/damaged file or file not found !

Opening the file in Irfanview via file / open menu works, there is not a flie problem.
Tried several Irfanview versions, same result.

I have a desktop file with this content:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=IrfanView 64-bit
Path=/home/andrea/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/IrfanView
Exec=sh -c "wine i_view64.exe \\$(winepath -w %u)"
Comment=IrfanView képnéző
Terminal=false
Icon=/home/andrea/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/IrfanView/i_view64.png
Type=Application
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
GenericName=IrfanView

X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.27
PrefersNonDefaultGPU=false

It seems that the problem is with parsing the file name with:
Exec=sh -c "wine i_view64.exe \\$(winepath -w %u)"

Is this a bug, or something changed with this method?

You're probably seeing Bug 58435 and it should be fixed in Wine 10.12.

Don't count on that.
Bugs related to running plugins in many Daws never gets "fixed" The developers seems to only focus on gamers and how wine can handle the "latest" games. There are serious bugs that screw up most vst2 and 3 plugins as well as clap and lv2 making many many plugins to fail running. Went really bad and unusable after v9.21 and not fixed yet and will probably never even get adressed since daw Plugins is not a "gamer" Thing.

Daw users are best to abandon wine all together. Many DAW users already wiped wine out of theri Linux and mac systems.

sad that the eager of implementing Wayland and satisfy gamers are on the top of the Wine prioroty list. All us others that use software not related to gaming will suffer like Ifran view and music plugins and much more stuff.

I think wine more and more goes over to only be for the gamers not for other users..When the gamers grow up they also will abandon wine since it's not usable for other areas than games.
