Hello, Just a silly question. I would like to know if there exists any plan/technical possibility to enable a user (some day) to associate a file-type (let's say, "*.doc") with an app launched by Wine (e.g. "winword"), so that I coluld view files with a windows app simply by clicking on them in my native filemanagers' window. I've been trying some experiments by putting a line like wine "/path/app.exe" into KDE/Gnome configuration, but with no satisfying result. sorry for bothering-- b. -- "Rome wasn't burnt in a day." -- Reklama: Promocja jesienna SAS!

You can try opening the file from the wine file manager, or from the reactos explorer http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/index.html crossover office can open word documents with word from the native file manager. Also, in the KDE configuration try /usr/bin/wine '/path/app.exe' but I'm not sure that will work.
There is an app for opening the file with the correct windows app, it's called start.exe.so, and it works like this /usr/bin/wine start filename it will work from the command line but I don't know how you can use it from KDE. BTW do you know there is a thing called openoffice that will open office documents on linux?

In that script, I got the following: #! /bin/sh wine C:\\Program\ Files\\Microsoft\ Office\\Office\\winword.exe $1 After a double-click on a *.doc file in a konqi window, Winword launches and starts complaining about wrong name/path of the document. What's the problem? Thanks, b. -- Reklama: Promocja jesienna SAS! Zapraszamy na http://www.scandinavian.net/ Bilety lotnicze do 11 miast Skandynawii i USA.
