Summary: Add environment variable to allow launchers to change
"working directory" for Windows applications
Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.46.
Platform: PC-x86-64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: wine-binary
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: 07067514 at brookes.ac.uk
A small number of programs make use of the "working directory" to find files
(example: MAME32++ uses it to find its configuration files) and WINE offers no
convenient way of changing this short of writing a script to move to the folder
with cd and launch the application, which is unpleasant and frankly
unnecessary.
I suggest a new environment variable, WINEWORKINGDIR, which stores this
"working directory" value (the default is the current working directory of the
terminal when WINE is run). This would allow launchers for WINE (e.g. in the
main menu) to change this, avoiding the need for cumbersome scripts.
