Question GQView and Paint Shop Pro - Opening files!


Hi folks

I've finally gotten my wife to transition to Gentoo, but she's missing some simple Windows based apps. One of the main ones was being able to browse thumbnails in Explorer and then directly open them in Paint Shop Pro for editing. She's not keen on Gimp so I installed Wine and Paint Shop Pro which work perfectly.

The problem I have is that I can't seem to associate JPG files to open in PSP under KDE/Konquerer. If I associate JPG to PSP it automatically opens PSP but the file that was selected isn't opened, just the application. I've added %U on the end like most other Graphics apps in the mime type associations.

I thought it may be a bug with KDE so I installed GQview and as an external editor I added the following:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ File/Jasc/Paint\ Shop\ Pro/psp.exe %f

I added the %f as the other external editors also had this one the end. Yet again, when I ask GQView to open a file for editing in PSP it manages to open PSP fine, but doesn't open the image I selected.

Any help or hints? BTW, this works fine under Windows but I'm desperate to keep her away from it as you can imagine

PSP doesn't find the file because KDE and GQview are giving it unix-style /path/to/the/file.jpg that it doesn't understand.

This wrapper script assumes you have the root filesystem mapped as Z drive in wine, like it is in the default configuration. Save it as /usr/local/bin/run_psp or something similar, make it executable with chmod +x and associate image files to it, using the %U or %f as you did before.
Code:
#!/bin/sh

win_name=`echo -n $1 | perl -pe 's|/|\\\\|g; print "Z:"' -`
exec wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ File/Jasc/Paint\ Shop\ Pro/psp.exe $win_name
