I actually want to ask two questions:
Where can I find more about available arguments/parameters shortcuts for Exec entry in desktop files (like %U, %u, %f...)
Main question, how to pass file as argument on .desktop launcher for wine application?
I found searching here this suggestion: z:%f
which is of no use to me, as if I simply run .desktop file without passing file on it, it assumes that argument is z:
and starts scanning z:
"drive"
Example:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Some Windows program
Exec=wine "program.exe" z:%f
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=application/docbook+xml
I want to drop XML file on my custom .desktop launcher for this wine application and I can this way. Problem is that if I click on launcher icon to evoke this program, argument z:
is always passed on it and that's not acceptable
z:%f
workaround is no good as whenever I launch this wine application argumentz:
is passed on it and I want to avoid thatapplication.exe
that you want to pass the current selected file in nautilus to it iefile.txt
?exec
line that checks for a%f
, if it exists launch the application on the file, if not just launch the application. Care for it or is it not an option?
