i had this idea of an easy to handle/use wrapper, so TC (or any other programs) running under wine would be able to start native linux apps according to the file extension assigned through the wine registry.
you can set file associations under wine now just as you want them to be!

so i wrote this little fella: <outdated>

it's written in PERL, so i guess you wont have to install that
it was on my system i guess, so its 'better' than having to install php as a prerequsite as well...

...

please test the whole setup, and if it works or even breaks: give some feedback here Smile

hello seb,

did you still using your wrapper?

i tried to get it working but receive the following:

seb · Member Joined: 04 Mar 2003 Posts: 129

just read this, will of course have a look and investigate a bit...

did you change anything in the .pl-script??
cause the line the error is referencing doesn't make any sense to me...

which settings did you try?? aka 'pls paste the config' Smile

my idea would as well have been giving the files more rights, did you even try 777 ?!

btw, why is it "/home/strug/.wine/dosdevices/c:/wine_wrapper_002.pl" ?? my dir is drive_c
do you use the latest version of wine??

I just got this to work, and its great! I'm pretty new to linux and wine, so I had to get a little help with how to do the 3 steps, but now its just amazing that TC works this great under Linux! Very Happy

Thanks a lot! =)

did you follow the installation steps?!

this error sounds like you did not follow step 3

did you edit the ini-file?!
if yes, try with the original one
if it does work with the original one, post your changed to pastebin or so

Thanks for reply, I'm running Ubuntu 7.10
with latest Wine if thats make any difference.

I've followed the steps with default ini-file
and tryed both REGCREATE/REGADJUST.
Everything seems find,
but when I try to run an avi-file totalcmd says "File not found"

Vlc is installed, and the directory has no spaces.

I'm clueless, would be really great to get this to work.. pls help Very Happy

*edit
Never mind my previously post Embarassed

i am using 7.10 as well and the latest wine, via 'Adding the WineHQ APT Repository' ( http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb )

1. pls paste the output of "./wine_wrapper_00x.pl REGADJUST"

2. try it with CONTROL+RETURN to copy the filename to the command line in TC, then pressing RETURN to actually start it
i sometime get an error even if, theres no space, but mine here is 'error executing program'

3. try renaming the .avi to test.avi and move to c:\ to lower dir or filename issues! Smile

4. try changing the DEBUG-level
a. search for my $DEBUG=0; in wine_wrapper_00x.pl
b. change it from 0 to 9
c. start TC in a terminal ( seb@ubuntu:~$ wine .wine/drive_c/totalcmd/TOTALCMD.EXE )
d. watch the output after you tried to start files...
maybe paste the output here, if it looks buggy

hi

i updated my system to ubuntu 8.04 and wine-1.1.2
(just to let you know all still works pretty well)

here is an update: wine_wrapper v0.03

only minor changes:

seb · Member Joined: 04 Mar 2003 Posts: 129

oh well

i just found out about this winepath Smile

i guess, this will make the wrapper less error-prone

here is the update: wine_wrapper v0.04

latest changes:

seb · Member Joined: 04 Mar 2003 Posts: 129

i just found a possible error-source:

DO NOT RUN THE WRAPPER FROM ANOTHER DIR
you have to change into '~/.wine/drive_c' and run it from there!!

this might solve Buggen's problem

Hi there,

Thank you for the great wrapper script! A possible simplification: with "xdg-open", you can open files with the default applications in Ubuntu. e.g., the command

xdg-open bla.png

opens the specified png image with your default image viewer. This is why you (or at least I) can replace all applications in the .ini script with "xdg-open".

Hope this helps,
Christian

good idea!
i just added this small default-entry and released the new version

i also added something useful:
you can now adjust the app-calls with parameters and so on, just as you like

good that i did not release this earlier, else you would perhaps have not suggested this Smile

here is the update: wine_wrapper v0.05

latest changes:

Hi there,

thank you for the script! Would be so nice if it worked also for me...

I am new to WINE, but TC works apparently fine so far.
I am using SUSE 11.0 and Wine 1.0-rc3, and TC 7.02.

I started from your default ~\.wine\drive_c\wine_wrapper_005.pl.ini file, except that I changed "emacs" for "gedit" as my preferred editor.
I had to explicitly start the script by
cd ~\.wine\drive_c
perl wine_wrapper_005.pl REGCREATE
as the bash insists in opening the script as a bash script despite its first line.

Then I started "regedit" from the command line of TC, and imported the resulting .reg-file C:\wine_wrapper_005.pl.reg = ~\.wine\drive_c\wine_wrapper_005.pl.reg .

However, whichever file I try to launch, I get the error message "Error executing program!", be it an editable file (...*.txt) or any other I tried.
CAN YOU HELP?

Also, it would be very nice if I could assign F4 to the real (linux) emacs instead of the wine-internal notepad.

Grateful for any ideas...
Thanks

Sebastian
