Description ILUXA 2016-05-10 10:38:59 UTC 
When you installed a windows application with emulators/playonbsd you'll see a dialog to create shortcut to this app, but after creation, most of times this shortcut won't work with an "error" warning.

To fix it, you need to edit your win app shortcut (*.desktop):
- Exec=/usr/local/lib/playonbsd/playonlinux --run "Hitman Blood Money" %F
+ Exec=/usr/local/lib/playonbsd/playonfreebsd --run "Hitman Blood Money" %F

Then you'll need to edit 114 line in /usr/local/lib/playonbsd/playonfreebsd:
- exec bash playonlinux-bash "$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/shortcuts/$NAME" "$@"
+ exec bash playonlinux-bash "$HOME/.PlayOnBSD/shortcuts/$NAME" "$@"

Then make playonfreebsd executable
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/lib/playonbsd/playonfreebsd

After *.desktop shortcut will work fine.

Forgotten to close?

No, this is still in progress. Last time I worked on this, I could not get Wine installed on -CURRENT/amd64 and therefore could not test my attempt to fix the issue. As of now, Wine is available for testing, but my development system is a machine that normally runs headless and I now need to connect a display and then perform tests and probably improve the current (partial) fix.
Maintaining and fixing flavor support in portmaster is my current priority, and I'll come back to PlayOnBSD as soon as my spare time permits it (which I hope will be this month, but no guarantees ...).
