--- Comment #21 from MestreLion wine@rodrigosilva.com 2012-10-08 17:38:56 CDT --- I would LOVE to see this bug/enhancement in Wine. It would surely make integration a LOT better.
2 points to consider:
- The detection of a native association pointing back to wine (to avoid infinite loop, as mentioned in comment #19) must be smart enough to allow associations to *different wine containers*. This would allow, for example, an Eudora user to open psd attachments if Photoshop is installed in a different wine "bottle"
- The behavior of ShellExecute to try native associations should be easily disabled (via custom wine registry flag?), for those who want wine to remain as an independent OS (as mentioned by comment #17, path 1).
IMHO, this enhancement should be enabled by default, but not not giving the user an easy way to revert back to previous behavior would seriously hamper the acceptance of this patch in wine.
