--- Comment #10 from Ploum ploum@fritalk.com 2008-02-06 04:06:40 --- Vitaly > I don't see the need for Wine to register anything. The "only" thing needed here is that, when wine receive an "Open this file in an external windows program" it passes to the desktop environement without trying to do anything else.
In this example, Wine will catch an "Open a .doc file" issued by Lotus Notes.
Without any further thinking, Wine can forward it to the desktop environement and putting the file in the /tmp folder.
The DE will receive "Open the /tmp/xxxx.doc file" and will handle it as usual.
This would be a huge improvment for Wine and Wine users and it doesn't seem to require heavy rocket science (disclaimer : I'm not familiar at all with wine source code).
What do you think ?
