[Bug 27706] New: [integration] Menu entries generated by wine when installing apps are not compatible with Linux Mint menu
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27706
Summary: [integration] Menu entries generated by wine when installing apps are not compatible with Linux Mint menu Product: Wine Version: 1.3.23 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wine@rodrigosilva.com
The command wine generates for menu entries are like this (example):
env WINEPREFIX="/home/rodrigo/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/sb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/sb/Start\ Menu/Programs/Microsoft\ Office/Microsoft\ Office\ Word\ 2007.lnk
For some reason they dont work in Linux Mint's main menu (bad parser in mintmenu?). While this can be considered Mint's fault, its MUCH easier for wine to solve this, but just double-quoting the last parameter (the path to .lnk file) and removing escaping-backslashes from it:
So the abve example would turn into this:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/sb/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix "/home/sb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/sb/Start Menu/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Office Word 2007.lnk"
Its an easy fix that wouldnt break anything for other distros, and would make Mint work out-of-the-box, So I would be glad to see this "fixed"

--- Comment #2 from Jerome Leclanche adys.wh@gmail.com 2011-10-28 06:54:50 CDT --- This is a bug in linux mint's menu then. CC Damjan anyway, but if another menu app doesn't support quoting and only supports backslashes, you end up in a cat & mouse game.
This needs to be fixed outside of wine.
