wine users - Jan 2010 - Wine Registry : winebrowser "%1" : the quotes were omitted

Hello,

here is what I found :

I made a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 in November, and in the Wine registry,
some file types were pre-associated with winebrowser %1 (without the quotes
around %1) thus preventing them to work.

I found only yesterday that I needed to add the quotes. Now I can launch any
file from any Wine application, and that call my linux-associated application.

I don't know if I was a special case, or if many users were impacted, so I
post it here.

Best regards, Hunirio

JFYI, winebrowser has a bug with files that have special characters in their
name. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20720 (at least on OS X since one
guy can't confirm this)

Which ones are those? I only see mailto: protocol have that association.

I realize you are right and I was wrong : 
I remember myself trying different solutions, based on the FAQ :

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-68d921c50355f280a905e3574b7dda58d76ff51f

It was at this moment that I added the registry keys, without any success.
