Dear Martin, I've followed your instructions creating the following script: #!/bin/bash f1=$(echo "$*" | tr '\\' '/') echo "gimpwrapper: $f1" gimp $f1 Then I've given the commands: utente@utente-desktop:~$ sudo cp /home/utente/Scrivania/gimpwrapper /usr/local/bin utente@utente-desktop:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gimpwrapper utente@utente-desktop:~$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Programmi utente@utente-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/Programmi$ wine DVDSubEdit.exe fixme:dwmapi:DwmIsCompositionEnabled 0x4889ac fixme:bitblt:client_side_dib_copy potential optimization: client-side color-index mode DIB copy err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 3 err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 3 err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 3 err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 3 err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 3 The error messages are given when I open a VOB file and select 'Edit subpic bitmap with external tool'. 'Gimp' gives the message: Opening of "/usr/local/bin/C:/users/utente/Temp/tempbitmap.bmp" has failed: Cannot open '/usr/local/bin/C:/users/utente/Temp/tempbitmap.bmp' in read mode: non existing file or directory In DVDSubEdit preferences the tool path is: Z:\usr\local\bin\gimpwrapper Best regards, Paolo
