[Bug 18463] New: Impossible to pass a parameter from a linux program to a windos program

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18463

Summary: Impossible to pass a parameter from a linux program to
                    a windos program
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.17
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I'm using K-Meleon web browser 1.5.x (2 or 3) and I have made it as default
program for Ubuntu.

I have made a tool to correct link file path from windows to linux to open the
files with linux programs instead of windows programs, and it works great.

I have also made an utility to correct the linux file path, and it works great
too. When I click on an html file (for example), the linux path is transformed
into windows format, and K-Meleon is able to open it.

For now, I'm not unable (for example) to do the same when I click on a link in
a mail opened with Thunderbird (linux version)

The default browsing program has been set to "/opt/Program
Files/K-Meleon/k-meleon.exe" %U I think it's a normal string to allow to pass a
parameter, but when I execute it, K-Meleon opens and try to open %U, and
obviously fails.

In fact, wine doesn't replace %U with the content of the parameter.

Some guys said on forum, that it's not possible, but I don't know why it
wouldn't be possible.

Could it be a feature that had be missed ? I can't believe it ...

Thanks

A+

Where did you set that "%U"? Obviously whatever parses it doesn't understand
it. Wine has no such expansion.

Invalid - not Wine bug. Look at the place that starts Wine.
