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@winehq.org ReportedBy: kazmirzak@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 ?
