WINE file association handler


Just wrote the following script to launch .exes in WINE from a file manager:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
exe="$(realpath "$1")"
cd "$(dirname "$exe")"
wine "$exe"
Set it as the default "Open With..." action for .exes, and they'll a) launch with WINE and b) behave as expected after being launched with WINE.
