This flake packages ArrowVortex from the upstream Windows release zip and runs it with Wine. The default Wine prefix is $XDG_DATA_HOME/arrowvortex/wine (or ~/.local/share/arrowvortex/wine when XDG_DATA_HOME is unset). Override with WINEPREFIX if you want a different prefix.

Run from a local checkout

nix run .

nix build .
./result/bin/arrowvortex

Run directly from Git

nix run git+https://git.plebsaber.stream/arrowvortex-wine

Requirements

Nix with flakes enabled (experimental-features = nix-command flakes).

Wine and GUI dependencies come from nixpkgs; you need a working display (X11 or Wayland) for the editor window.

Debugging

Replace -all with focused Wine channels around dialogs, shell integration, and file APIs:

--set WINEDEBUG "+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+dialog,+commdlg,+shell,+ole,+file,+loaddll"

Most useful pieces:

+commdlg: common file dialog activity, likely the key one for File > Open.
+dialog: generic dialog/window creation.
+shell: shell folder / file picker integration.
+ole: COM/OLE calls, often involved in modern shell dialogs.
+file: filesystem open/stat failures after a path is chosen or dialog initializes.
+seh: exceptions that might be swallowed by the app.
+loaddll: missing DLL clues.
+timestamp,+pid,+tid: makes logs easier to follow.

Run it from a terminal and capture stderr, for example:

WINEDEBUG="+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+dialog,+commdlg,+shell,+ole,+file,+loaddll" arrowvortex 2>&1 | tee /tmp/arrowvortex-wine.log

If that is too noisy, start with:

WINEDEBUG=+x11drv,+wayland,+commdlg
