[Bug 35188] New: File extension associations do not work e.g. .pdf
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35188 Bug ID: 35188 Summary: File extension associations do not work e.g. .pdf Product: Wine Version: 1.7.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: loader Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: af(a)muc.de Classification: Unclassified Double-Clicking a file with a yet unregistered extension (e.g. pdf or .tif) results in a popup stating "Success". Nothing more happens. The FAQ 7.5 explains how to create an association, but this does not work. Running regedit with a file having the shown contents results in just nothing. regedit returns 0, though. Running this in a wineconsole works: winebrowser file.pdf starting the evince (on my Fedora-19), which is basically great. So i tried to dump the entire registry from the regedit in order to edit it manually (though frankly i would not know, what to type in there). This does not work either. but i guess this is a different bug. When trying to export the entire registry regedit exits with status 1. The actual problem i have is with the "Elster" program (German tax declaration software from the German tax authorities). It is marked "Platinum", what i can basically confirm. Nonetheless, when trying to print something or to preview, it does not work. I get a popup, that the program cannot show the file z:\some\temporary\path\name.pdf . However, the PDF file has been created. It seems, this software leaves the preview and printing up to the PDF viewer software, whatever that is. In an strace i see, that the software calls: execve("z:\some\temporary\path\name.pdf", ...) what makes no sense. I guess, the layer inbetween in wine did not make a match to recognize the extension and to start the respective program. So my guess is, that the actual problem is what i explained above, where it is easier to understand. P.S.: May i note, that i consider wine kind of a miracle. Really. And imo it's one of the most important projects in the open source area. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35188 Albert Flügel <af(a)muc.de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|1.7.8 |1.7.9 --- Comment #3 from Albert Flügel <af(a)muc.de> --- Update: When building a 32bit version, things are a bit different: * Exporting the entire registry within regedit works * Importing the PDF file related registry entries like shown in FAQ 7.5 is still not working * I can set the entries via the regedit GUI and then double-click on PDF files starts evince showing the PDF document properly Regarding the Elster Software: * print preview works now starting evince as expected * printing still does not work. The error message is: gvfs-open: file:///home/alb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/alb/Application%20Data/elsterformular/pica/tmp/%DCbertragungsprotokoll_ESt2012_Fl%FCgel_Albert_und_Fl%FCgel_Dorothea_3.pdf: error opening location: Error when getting information for file '/home/alb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/alb/Application Data/elsterformular/pica/tmp/�bertragungsprotokoll_ESt2012_Fl�gel_Albert_und_Fl�gel_Dorothea_3.pdf': No such file or directory There seems sth wrong with the character set as the file exists with Latin 1 encoding as far as i can tell. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35188 --- Comment #7 from Albert Flügel <af(a)muc.de> --- I don't think the patch to 29916 fixes regedit to be able to read the pdf.reg file suggested in FAQ 7.5. It just hard-adds the entry to the preconfiguration. IMO either FAQ 7.5 should be removed, because inappropriate, or regedit be fixed. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
