When I right-click a file and choose the "open with" option, I'd like to be able to open the file with a Wine program.

I've tried putting a link to the program exe file in the /.config/rox.sourceforge.net/send_to folder, but when I then choose this program from the "open with" menu nothing happens.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks!

Ps. As a small side issue, is there any way I can make the "open with" menu automatically collapse, rather than clicking on it then choosing the program?

Liro- this sounds like the right thread. If I'm wrong, it's cause Wink I didn't get enough sleep.

so, you want to open a file type with a particular program that is running in wine? Use this script. Adapt the .exe portion to fit your wine installation. make the file executable.

And then in the right click, customize menu option, drag a link to the file, voila!

Not my stuff-- I got this from here: http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77391&sid=7c927588ed0e9331f843cb4bd8fce93b

*****************************

Code:
#wine "/mnt/home/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE"


#!/bin/bash
# transfert-PDFXCview.sh # entre linux et wine
####
EXE="/mnt/home/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE"
# "C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\PDFXCview.exe"
ROOTDRIVE="Z" # Z:\home\yourname\...

if [ ! -z "$1" ]; then
 # Make Windows path
 file=$(echo "$ROOTDRIVE:$1" | sed 's!/!\\!g')
 env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" wine "$EXE" "$file"
else
 env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" wine "$EXE"
fi

Thanks to you both. Sorted now Smile.

(Do you know how to do the auto-collapse menu thing too?)
