How Do You Issue a Filename to Open in Open With?

I want to allow win32's Repligo to open .rgo files in KDE. The string I'm using but doesn't work is ;

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/default/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Cerience\RepliGo Viewer\RepliGoView.exe" %U

Repligo is a fantastic PDF style document viewer and especially fast and good for PDA's. You can get the viewer from http://cerience.com/ . The viewer works in KDE/Kubuntu but I just want to be able to right mouse menu to open them with. The viewer also has a printer drivers for windows to allow you to print to RGO format. Not sure if that works in Wine. I use the Cerience Mobilizer to convert pdf's.

Thanks for any help. I've tried various combinations.

Thx, but that is the opposite. I want linux to pass its filename to the wine processed application program.

Right click on an .rgo file in Konqueror, select open with, other, select your app from the list of programs, check the box for "Remember application association for this type of file" and click OK. (If your app is not on the list for some reason, click the file folder icon to browse to it.)

This is not a Wine issue. Questions about your desktop environment should be asked in your distro's support forums.

Your answer doesn't work.

I want a file to be opened with a win32 application in linux/kubuntu when I double click the file. I think the only solution is to make a script that I can associate the script with building the right command.

You'd think wine would be able to pass on the commandline item that equals to the filename.

Along the same ways, except you use "winepath -w". And if your program even registered to to handle particular file type then all you need is:

Code: Select all

wine start `winepath -w "$1"`
