yes, but I have path problems doing this in a wrapper.

I have a custom "wine" script that fixes a lot of path problems then launches the real wine program i renamed to something else... i throw this inside of apps to make ports, so wine moves around to different locations... there were problems with people who had Wine installed on their system already, and it overriding the use of my Wine, so long story short, it ended up working better launching it from the Wine folder....

I'm not going to do that anymore, I'm going to do as you say and launch from the game folder, and rework my wine script to work better, it just seemed like a quick easy fix, and it is, until I need multiple apps with different configs in the same program ported .app .
