generic wine wrapper

[seb]

is there a way to do a right-click on a music folder and choose "open with music player", like winamp does?

well i only get to rename files/dirs if i try something of the conext-menu (right-click)...
is there more i can do?

I suggest that you add a new verb yourself: Files - associate - edit type - add.

Alternatively, you can also define an internal association. Just define an additional verb, and do NOT set the default verb.

Thanks seb. The script worked perfectly for me (Ubuntu 10.10 / Wine 1.2.1). Maybe, for completeness sake, you can add to the instructions a final step to make the .pl file executable (chmod 777).

If you can get the icons to show that would be great!!!!

If Ghisler was to port TC to Linux that would be even better

Unfortunately the file on uploaded.to was deleted. Can anyone upload it somewhere again please?

@seb:
I couln't try out your wrapper yet, but it sounds very good! Maybe it would be helpful for the future if you post the PERL code here in this topic. Or as alternative, upload it on Google-Code so everyone can easily search/access/response to it.

I can put the file on ghisler.fileburst com if you send it to support at ghisler dot com.

So no reason to use the wine wrapper.

It seems I just stumbled upon an even easier way to open stuff in the default linux program, without any registry editing. Simply go into Internal Associations in Total Commander's file menu, click Add, type in *.* as filetype, click OK, type in:

c:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe "%1"

in the Open-field, click OK and OK - Done!

This way can also be used to make TC show icons for the files too, but you might have to create one association for each filetype/icon, and be sure to drag the *.* association to the bottom of the list.

You're a genius! It works just perfect, thank you very much for this simple solution!

Yep definitely a genius, Why can't he take over the running of Greece for a few years

Unfortunately it does not work if there is accented characters in either the filename or the path. Whereas if I enter "winebrowser <filename>" from the commandline field it works even with accented characters.

Any fix for this?

Hello seb and the others,

sorry for pushing, but I wanted to download the wrapper. Is 0.05 the last version? The link seems dead...

here is the update: wine_wrapper v0.05

Thank you in advance!

Hello, Rookie-Doo.

No idea whether the generic wine-wrapper is still available somewhere. sorry.
But maybe this Linux Mint tutorial will help achieve the goal without the generic wine-wrapper:
wine - how to setup Total Commander to launch correct (default) application for selected file

Kind regards,
Karl

Hey Karl,

it took a while but

Create script run_prog in C:\ with this content:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xdg-open "`wine winepath -u "$1"`"

Make that script executable (open terminal in drive C):

hanax@Wadjet ~/.wine/drive_c $ chmod +x ./run_prog

In Total Commander
Menu item Files -> Internal Associations
Click Add, then in File Type line enter *.*, click OK
in Actions Open box enter C:\run_prog "%1"
Click OK, OK
Try it, it should work

works perfect!! Thank you so much!

Only the icons are not displayed as usual but who cares... thank you again!

One more question:

I recognized the first "not so well"-association: JPGs are opened with Gimp (normally/outside TC JPGs are handled by a program caled Viewnior: http://xsisqox.github.com/Viewnior on my system). How can I adjust this?

[Bodenseepferd]

For some reason the wine-solution with the run_prog did not work with my Mint Linux.
If I doubleclick the script NOTHING happens. Maybe s.th. was wrong with the way I did it:

I created the script by copying the two lines into a notepad window, saved the file not as txt, but without ending and then made it executable as described. Anything wrong with that?

It would really be great, if I managed to get that working since all other suggested Linux-alternatives to TC are lacking some features.

UPDATE: Problem solved. The mistake was that I created the file with notepad. It has to be created in some Linux text-editor, like e.g. gedit. Now it works.

You don't need to doubleclick something. Just place the script es described and it will "called" in background when you open a file in TC.
