I applied a similar technique to IrfanView and now all my images can be opened in IrfanView by just double-clicking on them.

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$@" ]; then arg=z:`echo $@ | sed -e 's/\//\\\\/g'`; fi
wine "C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "$arg";

The solution being so simple (but inelegant), why can't something similar be implemented by default on all apps installed in Wine?

A more elegant solution would be to get rid of this script altogether and use Wine's built-in function for converting Unix to DOS path. (Is there such a function? I may be misinformed.)
