Bug ID: 56112
           Summary: Feature request: let wine first cd to the directory
                    with the .exe when a full path to a .exe is specified
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.0-rc3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Running programs in this way is unsupported:
$ wine ~/path/to/appname.exe

The user must first cd into the directory of the program and then run the
program:
$ cd ~/path/to/ && wine appname.exe

It would be nice if wine would itself cd into the correct directory when a full
path is detected, so users don't have to bother with first going into the
correct directory.
