Okay I will admit that I am a Noob at using wine. I have used it once for uTorrent via creating a launcher and creating a file path for wine to follow and it worked...but I would like to know if I could just open up wine and then drop in an .exe file to run? I need help....seriously!

Well I see that I can add applications....but how do I get that configured?

I need help....seriously!I, too, am very new to this, but I have a Win file which has no installer- Just an executable in a folder. I copied the folder to the wine directory, and double clicked on the .exe. It didn't run, but QT offered me the opportunity to run it with a debugger, so I tried that. It ran fine then, with no error messages in the console. So I'd try copying the file/folder to Wine, and see what happens. Now all I have to figure out is how to get my file to run without running the debgger. And if anyone can help, I'd be thrilled. It's convert.exe, if anyone is familiar with it.
