Expected behavior

Is it possible that winetricks workswith your Flatpak-App?

Actual behavior

It's possible to use winetricks with your Flatpak-App, when you download winetricks itself.

1.) Go to the website: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks and download there the newest version of winetricks.

... when you click on this link, so you come to this site:

... then you must copy all (text), create a new file with the name "winetricks", insert the text into the file, save this and change this:

2.) When have opened your program (Phoenicis PlayOnLinux (Flatpak)), then you must change to this site:

... and there you must click on "Open a terminal" (This can you see on the right sidebar!).

3.) Then you change to your place, where you have saved your file (winetricks).

4.) ... and run this command: sh winetricks

5.) Finish.

Steps to reproduce

1.) Change the settings:

2.) Go to "Apps",click on Local Installer and on "Next":

3.) Give this a name:

4.) Click on "Next"

5.) Now you must select your EXAMPLE.exe, but in my case I have created a my own EXE (file). You can make this, when you create a file like this: EXAMPLE.exe , so it's not so important, that this file is a real EXE, but we need this!

6.1.) Click on "Next"

7.) Select "x86" or "x64" (I have selected x64).

8.) You must close this! (We cancel the installation.)

9.) And now you can look to "Actual behavior"

While this can work, it's a deliberate decision that we do not support it. That being said, we have the concept of "Verbs" which provide similar functionality.

In any case, I would suggest to first create a script for your desired application, see: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/scripts.
