Dear Stefan,

Try this script:

Marvellous! This is exactly the solution I need. :-) Maybe I should have been able to guess better what the "path" in winepath actually stands for... ;-)
If the word viewer installed the .doc file format in the wine registry you can call winestart /some/unix/path/file.doc and wine will start the asociated application automatically.
Yes, this works without any problems so far (using the Office 97 versions of the Word-, Excel- and PowerPoint viewers, they seem to be most compatible), even with Mozilla! I stored your little script under the name /usr/local/bin/winestart and selected that in the MIME options.
Now it feels 100% native to click on the "FUD" documents on www.microsoft.com! ;-)
I've also written a small C program which scans the registry and creates .desktop files for each mime type found. I've sent a first alpha version to this list late June. With these .desktop files in place you can just click on the files in Konqueror or (I think so, but didn't test) the Gnome Equivalent and they will open.
This sounds interesting to me. I will be pleased to test your program with Nautilus (the Gnome equivalent to Konqueror). I will search for your submission on the ML archives, if you have a newer version please tell me how to get it.
It's far away from beeing mature, but you can give it a try.
I will! :^)
I don't think that these .desktop files directly, but theres a kstart program which allows you to open any file KDE knows, and this works from literally any application.
I didn't get this sentence.
Thank you very much, Christian
