Hello again: ---> To make it short: the lag is no more. After some house cleaning the original problem came back again. I went back to check and checked and it turned out I had accidentally deleted a *.desktop file. So I recovered the last version (in ~/.local/share/applications) from a backup: [Des...

Hello again: I'm sorry but it does not work. With this version IrfanView will not even open. So I went to ... /home/groucho/.local/share/applications/ ... and edited the Wine IrfanView.desktop file back to the first/original version you provided me with. ie: the version with the 2-3s. lag. Just in c...

Hello: It is here: groucho@devuan:~$ locate i_view32.exe /home/groucho/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/IrfanView/i_view32.exe groucho@devuan:~$ OK, so that should be: sh -c "WINEDEBUG=-all wine start C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IrfanView\\i_view32.exe \\$(WINEDEBUG=-all winepath -w %u)" I'm...

Hello: Try: [Desktop Entry] --- snip --- Exec=sh -c "WINEDEBUG=-all wine i_view32.exe \\$(WINEDEBUG=-all winepath -w %u)" --- snip --- Right. I replaced the Exec= line with the one you provided above. There is a small delay - introduced with Wine's default WINEDEBUG terminal output. Yes. B...

Hello: Does the following solution work? Yes, it does. 8^D But with a noticeable 2-3 second delay from 'click' to IrfanView open with the file, something which does not happen with the previous solution which opened the application faster. Thinking that it could be due to some missing parts to the *...

Hello: . OK. This* seems to work: 1. create a file irl.sh in your ~/ folder #!/bin/bash echo "start..." > /tmp/irl.log F="z:"${1//\//\\} echo "F=$F" >> /tmp/irl.log wine "/home/groucho/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/IrfanView/i_view32.exe" $F a) The two ech...

Hello: jkfloris is the expert ... No problem whatsoever ... ... running devuan, the wine version shows as Debian. As you surely know, Devuan is Debian without Poettering's systemd.

Hello: Does Wine 6.0 also have this problem? Don't know. This is the version available in the Devuan repository. Can the file associations be found in: ~/.local/share/applications/ or ~/.local/share/applications/wine No. What is the output of: wine reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fil...

Hello: The problem is indeed, that that version of firefox can only be started when the working directory is right. I see ... I searched all over but that did not come up anywhere.

Hello: ... on my system firefox is a helper script that starts up firefox ... OK. And that script would be called firefox.sh and be located elsewhere? ie: not in /usr/bin. ... maybe your manually installed version is different.

Hello:

DarkShadow44 wrote:Not the folder, I meant into the firefox script itself.

I was wondering about that.

/usr/local/firefox//firefox is an executable, not a script.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your input.

Hello: ... packaging issue than a wine issue ... Indeed ... But I never really thought it was a Wine issue. I just want to know how (and may be useful for future reference, other applications running under Wine) to tell an MS based application to start a Linux based application. In this specific cas...

Hello: Going to "Tools->Options->Incoming Mail ->Hyperlinks", unchecking "Find browser automatically" and entering "Z:\usr\bin\firefox" works for me. Indeed ... That's how it used to work till I installed Firefox manually. But not now. In my case, when I click on a hype...

Hello: Just to make clear ... Of course. It's an MS based application (Pegasus Mail 4.7) running under Wine. You can also try "start Z:\usr\local\firefox\firefox". No. Won't do either. The path is the correct one. ie: from Pegasus Mail I can go to Z:\usr\local\firefox\firefox. Thanks for y...

Hello: You should be able to use "Z:\bin\firefox" as path, assuming firefox is installed as /bin/firefox ... The Firefox executable is in located in /usr/local/firefox/firefox so /bin/firefox is a broken link to an inexistent executable from a previous installation. It starts perfectly wel...

Hello:

I posted a question yesterday, it was with respect to the path to give an MS based application running under Wine in order for it to launch a Lunix application.
But I see it is gone, no idea why.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hello: Plain Wine doesn't create menu entries for any of its builtin programs and the WineHQ packages don't include any. If you got them from a distro or third party package, they were added by the packager, and that's who you would need to ask about their behavior. Thank you very much for explainin...
