It's more than that. It looks like Gimp was passed the raw Windows-style path. Gimp then tacked its working directory (/usr/bin) onto it. There's a utility, called winepath, that can turn your Windows-style path into a Unix-style path. You call it like so: winepath -u 'C:\users\utente\Temp\tempbitmap.bmp' @paolocchio: Here's a script you can use to call Gimp with a Windows path. It uses winepath to turn the Windows path into a Unix path so Gimp can see it: #!/bin/sh gimp `winepath -u "$*"` Associate bitmap files with this script, and you should be able to open them with Gimp.
