Come to think of it, all apps running in Wine (not just wordview) should be run from such a script; this way user files passed on to them would be converted to a DOS-path.
I applied a similar technique to IrfanView and now all my images can be opened in IrfanView by just double-clicking on them.
#!/bin/sh if [ "$@" ]; then arg=z:`echo $@ | sed -e 's///\\/g'`; fi wine "C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "$arg";
The solution being so simple (but inelegant), why can't something similar be implemented by default on all apps installed in Wine?
A more elegant solution would be to get rid of this script altogether and use Wine's built-in function for converting Unix to DOS path. (Is there such a function? I may be misinformed.)
