I guess there is something else then, because I tried to copy the .rdd file in the same directory as the .idf file but still there is nothing in the Variable Name drop-down.
As for the IDFEditor, it works on WINE right out of the box. Even the x64 version. I have been using it since Version 5.0 of EnergyPlus and I've never had any problem with it except this thing with .rdd and .mdd files.
Currently I use version 1.6 of WINE. For EnergyPlus version 8.1 the setup is as easy as:
wine SetEPlusV810008-win-64.exe
The rest is the same as in Windows.

Miroslav,
The IDF Editor looks in the directory where the IDF file is
located for the .rdd and .mdd files. It does not have any
setting to change this. Sorry, I never thought about that
being an option.
I am very curious about your use of IDF Editor with WINE on
Linux. Is it fully functional other than the .rdd file
issue? Did it require any special configuration of WINE?
Other people have asked about being able to use IDF Editor
on Linux, can you share any other details that would allow
others to use it on Linux?
Thanks
Jason
