Sending an image from XnView MP (Linux) to a programme running in WINE

[pseudopanax]

On my Ubuntu 18.04 installation, I can successfully send images from Rawtherapee to a WINE application (e.g. Nik collection) using the following command syntax in Rawtherapee's External Editor/Custom Command Line: "/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Viveza 2" %F"
I have tried to use the same command (with and without quotes) in XnView MP's Tools>Open With menu without success. Has anyone else tried this at all?

[xnview]

and with

Code: Select all

/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Viveza 2"

Thanks for the reply. I did try that and I also tried exec=/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Viveza 2" Neither work unfortunately.

if you start XnViewMP from a terminla, do you have a message when you use 'open with'?

[pseudopanax]

yes, the following:

Edit: dragging and dropping from XnView onto the desktop icons for the WINE apps works fine

[xnview]

with non Wine app, no problem?

[pseudopanax]

no problem with native linux apps.

changing the command to: playonlinux --run "Viveza 2" %f
opens the app OK, but not the file. I tried changing the argument to tell the WINE app to look in the Z drive for the file but without success. It's not a big issue though because as I mentioned below, I can simply copy the file to the desktop from XnView MP and then drag and drop the file onto the appropriate Nik Collection desktop icon.
