Evernote and "open with"

Post by thermopyle »

Hi.

I'm running Evernote 4.5.4 in Wine 1.5.2. I have a lot if images in my notes, these images are often very big and difficult to view within a note. In Windows one selects "open with" in the right click popup menu from the image to open the image in a more suitable viewer. This does not work in Linux/Wine. The "open with" menu expands into "Choose program" which when selected does nothing.

I installed XnView in Wine to see if the "open with" menu would come to life but nothing happened.

Is there a way to configure Wine so that "open with" works?

Regards, Micke.

I don't know the exact syntax off the top of my head... but if you set up a file association in the registry to the type of file your trying to open linked to winebrowser.exe, you should be able to make it launch in a native non-wine viewer. Using winebrowser.exe to open files always works fine for me.
