Why can I not open the file "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt" with wine-notepad?

Why can I not open the file "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt" ?

Terminal:

Input:

Code: Select all

$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt" 

Output:

Waht's wrong? What do this warnings and errors mean?
Would appreciate some help. Thank you.

[Opako]

Edit: Addition:

The command is from the content of the file:
/home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-ini.desktop

It's the Exec line:
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile %f

[jkfloris]

Is notepad the program to open txtfile files?

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine reg query 'HKCR\txtfile' /s

It is also possible to open the text file in a different way:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine notepad "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt"
# or (the "reg query" command must return "notepad.exe"):
WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine start "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt"

[Opako]

Thank you @jkfloris.

Quote: "Is notepad the program to open txtfile files? "
Yes.

I have tried out your other proposals. But none of them works.


In the folder /home/user/.local/share/applications/ I not only have the file wine-extension-ini.desktop. I have a lot of auto generate files there. For example:

Code: Select all

wine-extension-chm.desktop
wine-extension-docx.desktop
wine-extension-doc.desktop
wine-extension-dotx.desktop
wine-extension-css.desktop
wine-extension-dot.desktop
wine-extension-dochtml.desktop
wine-extension-dqy.desktop
wine-extension-csv.desktop
wine-extension-dothtml.desktop
wine-extension-cdf.desktop
wine-extension-docm.desktop
wine-extension-dic.desktop
wine-extension-dotm.desktop

They do not work. Of course: It must be the command-line "Exec=" that is wrong.

Question 1: Is it known, that this auto created wine-extension-xxx.desktop files do not work?
Question 2: Are the wine developers trying to fix the bug?

Or do I miss anything?

Wine version: 6.5

Would appreciate some reply. Thank you.

[jkfloris]

I have tried out your other proposals. But none of them works.

Then there is probably something wrong with the .../wineprefixes/Microsoft prefix. You can test this with:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/wine-test" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine notepad "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt"

This command creates a new Wine prefix in the wine-test folder and starts notepad.

Question 1: Is it known, that this auto created wine-extension-xxx.desktop files do not work?

What programs did you install in the .../wineprefixes/Microsoft wineprefix?

[Opako]

Thank you. I appreciate your answers.

Then there is probably something wrong with the .../wineprefixes/Microsoft prefix.

OK. I have tried again now and I realized, that I had used the command in the terminal the wrong way:
I have tried this:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine notepad "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt"

instead of

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine notepad "/home/user/Downloads/request.txt"

This way it was successful.


But the other two commands do still not work:
Input:

Code: Select all

$ WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine reg query 'HKCR\txtfile' /s

Output:

[Opako]

OK.

Please ignore my post from " Sat Jun 04, 2022 7:50 pm ". Sorry I got a few things mixed up. (txt and dic)

Again:

In "/home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-dic.desktop" I have this command:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=notepad-dic
MimeType=application/x-wine-extension-dic;

NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=true
Icon=1E64_notepad.0

This "wine-extension-dic.desktop" does not work.


So to see how this command works in terminal, I tried it out. And it also was not working in the terminal:

Input:

Code: Select all

$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" wine "start /ProgIDOpen txtfile /home/user/Downloads/request.dic"

I am confused: Waht is with this "L" in the outputs:

Code: Select all

L"\\Registry\\......

Does this have something to do with wineconfig drives? I have no "L" there. Could this be the bug? :

[Opako]

I was able now, to modify the command in "/home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-dic.desktop" in a way that it works now. (wine-extension-dic.desktop is used, to right-click a *.dic file, and open it with the "Open With dialog".

So I can now double click in thunar on the file "/home/user/Downloads/request.dic" and "wine notepad" opens and shows me the content of the file "request.dic". -- Before the modification this was not working.

So here is what I have changed in the file "/home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-dic.desktop":

Command before (this was not working):

Code: Select all

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile %f

Command after (This is working now):

Code: Select all

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine /home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft/drive_c/windows/command/start.exe /ProgIDOpen txtfile %f

So you can see the change:
I have replaced "start" through "/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft/drive_c/windows/command/start.exe"


Unfortunately:
All my "/home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-*.desktop" files have "start" instead of "/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft/drive_c/windows/command/start.exe" in the command line and do not work.

Question: Is this a wine Bug? Is wine not able to create this "wine-extension-*.desktop" files correct?

Would appreciate some answer. Thank you.

[jkfloris]

Does the command work if you don't use env? Because often env is only used in scripts.

I don't know exactly what the "L" stands for, but it has nothing to do with your (virtual) hard drives.

[jkfloris]

There was a bug in Wine 6.5 that made "wine start" not work properly. This has now been fixed.
Could you try Wine 7.x?

Maybe an odd question, but why not use a Linux program to open your text files?

[Opako]

Thank you again.

Maybe an odd question, but why not use a Linux program to open your text files?

That was just a representative example question for all wine-extension-*.desktop files. I thought, everyone who has wine, knows notepad and everyone has it installed. So it will be easier for others to understand my question. As I said, all my wine-extension-*.desktop files don't work. But I picked .dic as an example, to ask a simple specific question in the hope, that I could then apply the answer to all other wine-ext desktop files. (Which I can indeed do now.)

There was a bug in Wine 6.5 that made "wine start" not work properly. This has now been fixed.
Could you try Wine 7.x?

I have now tried Wine 7.9.

Result: My wine-extension-*.desktop files work now.


All?
No. I have wine-extension-*.desktop filres created through the Prefix ...

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/LutrisPfx/my/prefix"

-> They do not work. When I try in thunar to open them with the "open file with"- dialogue.

Only all wine-extension-*.desktop files created through the Prefix ...

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft"

... work now.



Question:
Why does "wine-extension-txt.desktop" not work, but "wine-extension-dic.desktop" works?:

Content of wine-extension-txt.desktop:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=notepad-txt
MimeType=text/plain;
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/LutrisPfx/my/prefix" /home/ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64/bin/wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile %f
NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=true
Icon=1E64_notepad.0

Content of wine-extension-dic.desktop:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=notepad-dic
MimeType=application/x-wine-extension-dic;
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/user/D-Konto/.local/share/wineprefixes/Microsoft" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile %f
NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=true
Icon=1E64_notepad.0

Edit:
Can it be that wine 5.2, which is connected to my Lutris prefix, has also the bug that makes "wine start" not work properly?

[Opako]

OK. I guess I have found the answer:

Part of the line "Exec=" in wine-extension-txt.desktop:

Code: Select all

/home/ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64/bin/wine

-> I guess when I try to open this file, thunar is looking for the file "/home/ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64/bin/wine", but I don't have this folder on my system.

Strange, that I do not have this folder. Maybe this works only somehow "Lutris intern". (And to add: I not even use Ubuntu distribution.)


Edit:
I have now changed the line "Exec=" in wine-extension-txt.desktop from ...

Code: Select all

/home/ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64/bin/wine

... into ...

Code: Select all

/home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-5.2-x86_64/bin/wine

This is the Wine, that Lutris uses.
Result: "wine-extension-txt.desktop" works now in thunar with txt-files.


Strange, that it had the wrong path in "wine-extension-txt.desktop".

[jkfloris]

The shortcuts are automatically set to the Wine installation by which the program was installed.
Maybe something went wrong in Lutris and the wrong Wine installation was set in the desktop file.

Fortunately, Linux has tools that allow you to modify the files.
Caution! I have not tested this command extensively.
First test the command on one desktop file

Code: Select all

sed 's@ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64@user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-5.2-x86_64@g' wine-extension-txt.desktop

Explanation:
search for ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64
and replace this string with user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-5.2-x86_64
Do this for all matches found (g)
The @ is used to distinguish the different fields. (Usually the / is used for this, but it is already in use by the path names)

If the output looks good then you can modify the file with:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's@ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64@user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-5.2-x86_64@g' wine-extension-txt.desktop

To modify all wine-extension files, use:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's@ubuntu/buildbot/runners/wine/lutris-4.21-x86_64@user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-5.2-x86_64@g' wine-extension-*.desktop

[Opako]

Thank you. That is very amazing. I will use this when I once will have again this situation. Unfortunately in the meantime I have edited all wine desktop files manually.
