--- Comment #14 from Erik van Pienbroek erik-wine@vanpienbroek.nl 2012-06-01 03:49:20 CDT --- Created attachment 40357 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=40357 shell32: Make ShellExecute use native file association databases
I just proposed attached patch to the wine-patches mailing list. This patch is based on initial work from Jeff Miller
This change adds a fallback path where an attempt is done to open a file using the native file association databases before giving up. On Linux environments the tool 'xdg-open' is used for this, for Mac OS X environments the tool 'open' is used
Tested succesfully on a Fedora 17 environment using the start.exe command and Outlook 2007 by trying to open a .pdf file (where there is no file association registered inside the wine prefix)
