--- Comment #6 from Bamm Gabriana bammzilla@gabriana.com 2008-05-07 09:56:50 --- It still doesn't work.
Wine 0.9.60 gave me the impression that this has been fixed. The release notes said:
- Better support for launching apps from Unix file managers.
Vincent Povirk (2): start.exe: Add /Unix switch for native file managers. tools: Modify wine.desktop to use start.exe /unix.
So, with the latest 0.9.61 under Kubuntu, I tried:
1) Clean Wine prefix (by deleting .wine and running wineprefixcreate) 2) Install Word Viewer (installer creates a shortcut in KMenu. Good.) 3) Associate *.doc with the .desktop file associated with Word Viewer. 4) Click on a *doc file.
Result: Word Viewer opens but still no file loaded.
Next, I tried adding start.exe /Unix to the .desktop file's command line. That is, modifying the command line from
env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.EXE"
to
env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/.wine" wine start.exe /Unix "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.EXE" %U
Result: Word Viewer opens but still no file loaded.
So it looks like the solution posted didn't work.
