Cannot associate nzb with GrabIt

Hi,

I follow the instructions to install WINE on Ubuntu 9.04 and it works fine. Then I downloaded GrabIt and installed it. An item is added to the desktop which I can double click to invoke GrabIt.

Now the problem, I want to associate nzb with GrabIt instead of LottaNzb. How can I do that? TIA.

Ask in the Ubuntu User forums.

There is some Wine-related issues as well....

You might want to write a small shell script that takes a Unix path to
a NZB file and launches grabIt / alt.binz with the Windows path as an
argument. You can then associate the files with the script. (Following
general instructions for your distro / desktop environment /
freedesktop standards)

http://wiki.winehq.org/winepath will handle the conversion to Windows path.

If you're having trouble with the scripting, I might give it a shot...
