winepath truncation issue












0















I have followed the directions on multiple websites. I created a command in the registry :



default
/bin/sh/ /run_linux eog "%1"



I created the following code in the run_linux script



#!/bin/sh
eog $1 "`wine winepath -u "$2"`"
echo $1 "`wine winepath -s "$2"`" >> /tmp/output


In the registry i have tried....



"%1" it sends NOTHING to the script.
%1 it sends everything up to the first space of the file URL.


Now, i understand why %1 is only sending up to the first space of the file URL, as i did that more for testing, but when i use "%1" nothing pushes through.



Example output



with registry command set to : /bin/sh /run_linux eog %1
Out put -> eog /home/myname/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/myname/My



with registry command set to : /bin/sh /run_linux eog "%1"
Out put -> eog



What the heck am i doing wrong?



I even manually typed the full path calling the script directly and it works, so I believe the issue is in the registry command.

  • I might also add i typed in the full path into the registry so as to not even use the %1, and if i surround it with " if fails, and if i do not surround it with " it outputs up until the first space.

It ended up being so simple :
I was editing the registry through regedit, and there you only need
to put it within quotes without the back-slash.



Just put quotes with out the character and then it worked.



Example :



eog "%1"
