Using xdg-open by default under Wine

Post by kaeza »

Hello.
Is there a way to make Wine use the xdg-open program by default when opening file types it does not know about?
For example, I have XArchive with RAR support, but don't have WinRAR installed on Wine.
I want to make Wine use xdg-open, which will call XArchive which in turn will use the `rar' program to operate on the file.
Any help on this topic?

Ditto for ZIP files, and a bunch of other file types.

Try adding ".*" to HKCR. See this for details: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-91bf3f0 ... a489e0d243
