Summary: doubleclick on .exe starts all programs in wrong
directory
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: kazmirzak at web.de
It might be a problem of some distributions they are not able to cope with but
still: if I doubleclick an .exe file for example in Ubuntu 8.04 dolphin, they
don't find their daughter files and crash. This problem is NOT LIMITED to
Ubuntu. Reason: the default directory is "/home/user" and not the directory we
are in.
I know that you can't solve the problems of distributions but you can introduce
an idiot-save and absolute usable workaround:
wine --grab-default-directory /media/disk/test/test.exe
This command line could be included in the application runner of the
distribution, but not only that - it is even great for command-line-gurus. It
simply tells wine to automatically cd to the directory of the .exe-file before
starting it.
Possible for 1.0 ?
