I'm running Wine 1.3.24 on Ubuntu 11.04 Please consider this .desktop file for Notepad application: Code: [Desktop Entry] Name=Notepad Exec=wine "/home/zetah/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe" %F Type=Application Terminal=false Categories=Wine MimeType=text/plain If I pass/drop text file on this notepad.desktop file, Notepad complains about error reading the file, as it can't resolve file path If I put Exec line like this: Code: Exec=wine "/home/zetah/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe" z:%F then it reads passed file fine, but every time I start notepad.desktop file (so without passing file on it) "z:" argument is passed to Notepad which is undesired. Notepad is just example application. How can I resolve this problem, without scripts or other complications? TIA
