Gnome default application with wine


Hi all,

I have Debian with Gnome and I try to configure .php filetypes to open with Notepad++. I try couples of commands in OpenWith/OpenWithOtherApplication
Code:
wine "path to the exe"
but that didn't work. In wine website the documentation didn't describe such case.

Can anyone suggest some tips?

I'm using Ubuntu with Gnome and I can just specify the Windows executable as the command. For example to open up notepad, the following command works:

Code:
/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe

Actually I used this approach to set up notepad with the default application launcher using the and it did work. But I'm using Ubuntu so maybe things are different.
