How do I configure a local directory in a wine launcher?

  • 772

ok, so I'm trying to make a portable launcher for my wine application...

[Desktop Entry]
Name= UMC
Type= Application
Terminal=true
Exec= wine ~/data/Python/x86/python.exe loader.py 'x86'
StartupNotify= true
Icon= ~/data/UMC.ico

the '~' in my code means the current directory, which can be relocated.
what could I use in place of the '~' that would do what I expect??

wine

  1. Got it working with this:

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=UMC
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Exec=wine ./data/Python/x86/python.exe loader.py 'x86'
StartupNotify=true
#Icon= ./data/UMC.ico #this one doesn't work

    I recently stumbled across a Ubuntu Forums thread which mentioned this.

    On the note that I DO have it working, I'm not sure if XFCE might be lending a hand here.
    So if this doesn't work for you, check your Desktop Environment and/or Window Manager.
