Bug Description
I have created many launchers over the years for my games that run though Wine. The ones that use a seperate multiline bash script file work fine, but an all-in-one launcher like this:
-------
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Trackmania2 Stadium
Exec=env WINEPREFIX=
Path=/home/
StartupNotify=true
Icon=trackmania
Categories=Game;
-------
it is worth noting that it can be worked around with a one-line bash:
Exec=bash -c "cd '/home/
but it'd be great to implement the Path command in launchers for the Right-Click list (Quicklist).
This is similar to https:/
Cheers guys :)
Hi,
I did note this problem also in the bug you mention, but it turned out to be a limitation in Unity. I submitted a bug report and someone is now getting around to fixing it: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/unity/ +bug/1113883
Code is already in drawers to add a Path key to the Desktop Action entry, so once Unity properly supports it, the quicklist should work properly.
Best,
Ian
