After upgrade from Antix 16 to 17, links to windows applications do not work anymore.
If i paste link’s command to terminal – it works as usual.
I’m using ROX, icewm.
Please, ask, if you need additional info.
Thanks!

Check permissions on icons. I don’t normally use rox desktop . I did set up a laptop for my autistic grandson though.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsAFAIK, they are ‘virtual’ – not real files on FS.
They are configured in ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/pb_antiX-icewm
Oh! Forget to tell! Problem IS ONLY with links to windows apps!
Tried:
– reinstalling WINE
– setting “, ‘, and \ in link’s command
with no help.After upgrade from Antix 16 to 17,
links to windows applicationsrox pinboard icons for wine applications do not work anymore.The antiX16 to 17 upgrade should not have disturbed your ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/pb_antiX-icewm file.
Please copy/paste and post the content of one these pre-existing <icon …>”wine /path/to/some_file.exe”</icon> entries which have become inoperable.
(If applicable) Can we rule out the potential presence of " vs “ in the launchstring as being problematic?
“ U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
vs
" U+0022 QUOTATION MARK
(I don’t know, you might test: are those interchangeable, are the launchstrings parsed successfully in both cases)=============
@caprea
I noticed what you mentioned in another topic… AND just noticed here that the forum software is (confusingly) displaying “left double quotation mark” instead of “regular” quotation marks I’ve typed here.
(as a workaround in this post, I used & q u o t ; htmlentity)
=============
test:
(system locale here, as well as browser locale, is en_US)
is quotation mark character preserved within CODE and/or QUOTE tags?“i typed regular (U+0022) quotation marks”
"i typed regular (U+0022) quotation marks"result:
grrrrrrr!!!!
the forum page displays LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
for any quotation mark character occurring in plaintext and for any quotation mark character occurring within a blockquoteIcon entry:
<icon x="126" y="122" label="FooBar2000">/wine/default/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/FooBar/FooBar2000.sh</icon>
Well, i see it is a shell script which contains this:#!/bin/bash WINEPREFIX="/wine/default" wine "c:\\Program Files (x86)\\FooBar\\foobar2000.exe"but it does not matter how i launch foobar from ROX:
by script, by hotkey, or directly by putting command to pinboard icon:
wine "c:\\Program Files (x86)\\FooBar\\foobar2000.exe"
If i do it from ROX it will not work, if i do it from terminal – it works in both cases!
About quotation marks – i did not used any Unicode symbols, an any “special” ( & q u o t ; and such) codes…
And yes i have a locale en_US.UTF-8 installed.<icon x="126" y="122" label="FooBar2000">/wine/default/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/FooBar/FooBar2000.sh</icon>
<icon x="126" y="122" label="FooBar2000">"wine /wine/default/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/FooBar/FooBar2000.sh"</icon>
I don’t know the exact launchstring you will need, but you must use quotation marks if the launchstring contains space charactersI don’t know the exact launchstring you will need, but you must use quotation marks if the launchstring contains space characters
Tried this, it says “File not exists or access denied”
Already checked permissions, etc. – no result.
If i use “old” commands – nothing happens: no error messages, and no program execution.Well, may be i should switch to another desktop, thanks for your help.
