Wine start is not quite what I had in mind. Each file type can have multiple "verbs" (such as open, edit, print..), and I'd like GNOME to give me the option to use any of the verbs that are available. Wine start is apparently hard-coded to use the "open" verb.
You will have to forgive my ignorance but I guess my other concern would be is there even a way for GNOME to handle such verbs at the moment? I was looking at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec and it seems like there is plans for this but, at least according to that page the spec for this is still in development. Also, just playing around with a few files on my desktop I could not find any useful way to invoke verbs other than open, but maybe I am missing something...
That may mean it's simple to modify it for my purposes, but there's a windows equivalent. Changing the way it works to deviate from Windows may not be a good idea.
Yes, very good point. I believe this was one of the reasons I decided not to submit any patches to modify start to work with UNIX paths. Provided we only use the open verb could still use the shell script approach...
As for converting unix/windows paths, that's what winepath is for.
Good point, didn't notice that particular program.
