    Question Trouble associating .bmp files with mspaint in wine

    I am running Kubuntu 11.10 and it is fully updated as of this posting.

    I installed wine and mspaint for wine, mspaint works great, and save I save and open bmp files. The trouble comes when I attempt to associate bmp files with mspaint. My command line for opening bmp files is the following:

    Code:
    wine mspaint %f
    when I double click on hello.bmp (located at /home/brandon/Desktop) I get a pop up window that says:

    Code:
    Z:\home\brandon\Documents\hello.bmp was not found
    so I tried the following in the terminal:

    terminal:
    Code:
    wine mspaint /home/brandon/Desktop/hello.bmp
    output:
    Code:
    Z:\home\brandon\hello.bmp was not found


    terminal:
    Code:
    wine mspaint '""/home/brandon/Desktop/hello.bmp""'
    output:
    Code:
    Z:\home\brandon\""\home\brandon\Desktop\hello.bmp" contians an invalid path

    terminal:
    Code:
    wine mspaint \\home\\brandon\\Desktop\\hello.bmp
    works fine.

    Any ideas on what I am possibly doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    Figured it out! My open command is this:

    Code:
    env WINEPREFIX="/home/brandon/.wine" wine start /ProgIDOpen bitmap %f
    and I had to add some registry keys which I found out how to do here:

    Thanks anyway though!
