Start a mac program from wine

Post by annacegu »

Hi,

I have a windows-based program that runs in wine & opens my native Mac-based Google Chrome browser when it opens a html document. Is it possible to do the same for another type of file, e.g., an mp3 file? What would I need to do to be able to do this?

Thanks and regards,
Anna.

Hi,

I tried the instructions (the second option, not the first), but when I try to open the file it opens a dialog box saying "Success!" but does nothing else. Would you know what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Anna.

Thanks for your reply. I tried that (based on the htmlfile element in the registry), but it still only says "Success" in the dialog box without opening the native mac program...
