Summary: iexplore commandline args cause failure Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-shdocvw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Picasa uses the -nohome option to iexplore sometimes (e.g. if you do About / Help and it can't find your native browser?), and our iexplore just doesn't handle that yet; instead of skipping the options, it tries to use them as URLs, causing a confusing blank screen for users and no error message.
There's lots of evidence for people using these options in the wild (e.g. http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=394 ) and they're even documented, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q178058/
