           Summary: Linux native vs Windows helper apps in ShellExecute file
                    path?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20041201
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-shell32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ryampolsky at gmail.com


My app uses PDF for all of its printing, and for print preview, it uses
ShellExecute on the PDF file to launch the default PDF viewer.  When I run under
WINE, and am using a native Linux PDF viewer, the path passed to the viewer on
the command line is in Windows format with the 'drive letter' of the WINE temp
directory.  To get around this, I had to write a small C app to make my default
PDF viewer.  That app simply translates the path and launches the PDF
viewer with the native Linux path.

Is this a known problem?  Can the WINE mime system be set up to flag whether the
helper app is a Windows or Linux app and provide the appropriate file path?  

By the way, I haven't tested this in a while.  The last version of WINE I tested
against was loaded via the rpm wine-20041201-1wbel3winehq on a RHEL 3 system
(kernel linux-2.4.21-4.EL).
