> Vincent Povirk recently submitted a patch "tools: add a wrapper script for
> starting files from file managers and make wine.desktop use it"
> http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.patches/47072 which is
> titled "Start a file as if it were double-clicked in windows explorer."
>
> I'm writing this here after I pointed out to Vincent that this patch doesn't
> exactly live up its name, but I agree with the direction it's going in, but
> this patch shouldn't be committed. I think that a patch of this nature could
> directly address and solve this bug, but it's not possible to give windows
> explorer behaviour in a shell script alone.
>
> Such a patch will need to always quote the application name always quoted as
> returned by GetCommandLineA, because windows explorer _always_ quotes this.
> Quoting is a requirement to allow it to be parsed correctly if there are spaces
> because the string returned by GetCommandLineA is delimited by spaces outside
> of quotes ".
>
> This behaviour can be tested using the example program provided in comment #15.
> Running it as GetCommandLineA.exe should print out "GetCommandLineA.exe" if
> the behaviour is correct. If it is incorrect then GetCommandLineA.exe will be
> printed.
