> You can not enter magical expansion variables. "%U" doesn't mean anything to Wine or any other program. When I look for epiphany properties in the Menu tool, the following string is entered : epiphany-browser %U So, in the Prefered Program tool, I replace the personnalized string with k-meleon path and %U Here my last tests: I have tried to replace, in the ubuntu tool to choose default browser, the k-meleon string with the epiphany string found in the shortcut, When using it from Linux Thunderbird, it opens epiphany but the %U string isn't evaluated. If I delete %U it just opens epiphany without opening the link. If I choose epiphany in the list, it opens the links. >From these results, we can say that %U parameter is never developped, even with a linux program. We can say too, that there is a difference between passing a parameter from a shortcut and a program. So, the way is perhaps to make the windows program to appear in the program list, to make wine able to keep the parameter ? But how ? In this case, it can't be considered purely as a wine bug, but it will be necessary to help to find a way to add windows programs in this list. > Where did you pulled that "%U" from? shortcuts in 'Main menu' tool. > Why are you insisting that it somehow should be expanded to something you think it should? Because this parameter, using probably another way, is used between programs to pass parameters. It's really an important need to make windows program integration in linux something natural and easy to use under Linux. The way I wanted to use was probably wrong, but the necessity is right. Hoping that a solution can be found, because it's really important. How do other windows program to be able to keep parameters passed by linux programs ? Thanks A+
