Simple script to open pdf files with PDF-XChange Viewer through wine by right clicking and selecting this script from Nautilus Scripts.Place this script inside .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
( Go to home folder and press "Ctrl h" to see .gnome2 folder; inside this folder nautilus-scripts folder is present; place this script there; script can have any name but naming it 'PDF-XChange Viewer' make some sense; make script executable )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW THIS SCRIPT WORKS:
"C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\PDFXCview.exe" is where PDF-XChange Viewer executable file is placed inside the wine folder(/home/$USER/.wine).
'winapath -w' will convert the Unix path name to Win32 path i.e '/home/$USER/script.txt' will be converted to 'Z:\home\$USER\scripts.txt'
'$*' represent the complete path of the file you have selected i.e script.txt file in Desktop will have a complete path name /home/$USER/Desktop/script.txt
