If you interact with Windows applications on a regular basis in Nemo (and let's be real here: You probably do): This application is an absolute *godsent.* It won't generate icons for all EXEs, but it will cover the majority of them, and if you combine that with opening Windows programs in "WINE Windows Program Loader" by default, it makes browsing EXEs in Nemo *feel* so much closer to how it did on Windows. Frankly, I can't believe the Linux Mint team hasn't merged this into stock Mint, as least for Cinnamon, it's just that neat of a QoL feature.
