Starter works in MenuLibre, but doesn't work in Whisker

Hello,

I'm running Mp3tag under Wine, both are the latest versions.
To run Mp3tag, I created a starter in Whisker menu:

Command:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/xxxxxxxx/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/xxxxxxxx/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Mp3tag.lnk

Work directory:

/home/xxxxxxxx/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files (x86)/Mp3tag

By pressing the "Test Starter" button (these three gearwheels) Xfce launches Mp3tag as expected.

But: As soon as I hit the Mp3tag-icon in Whisker menu, it just does nothing.

I also tried to restart Xfce/Whisker by issuing a

xfce4-panel -r

but to no success.

I don't think this is a Wine related problem, since the starter works when run by "Test Starter".

What am I doing wrong? What is wrong here? I just ran out of any further idea...

Thanks a lot for looking at this!

Backslashes in your command may be the problem. An easy workaround is putting your command in a bash script and adding shortcut to your bash script.
