------- Additional Comments From nospam@thenerdshow.com 2005-28-12 18:44 ------- As a long time windows user and recent wine user I have to say that wine needs support added for windows file associations (the ability to start one program with another). I've only used wine since 20050525. Did it ever have such ability? The program associations are faithfully reproduced in the registry so all we have to do is have wine check there first and see what to launch.
There is a drawback to automated program launching, however: If you enable such things as windows scripting we will wind up having the same automatic execution vulnerabilities as windows. However, with wine we have extra freedom to, for example, modify this behavior. Maybe put some choices into winecfg, such as "allow file association? []always [x]confirm []never"
