Hello, I wanted to associate the Linux Acrobat Reader to .pdf files (so that another program can call it when it opens its manual). Of course there's the Windows version, but then, running a native program is usually better. So I looked at the existing registry associations and made the following: (adapting from regedit exports) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf] @="AdobePDF.1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobePDF.1] @="Adobe PDF" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobePDF.1\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobePDF.1\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobePDF.1\shell\open\command] @="\"d:\\acrostub.exe\" \"%1\"" d:\acrostub.exe is actually a Linux script. And I had to make it like this: #!/bin/sh env TEMP=/tmp TMP=/tmp acroread /path/to/pdf/files/$1 It's because Windows passes only the filename, and the directory is supposedly "current". As I don't know of a way to get the "current" dir, all I could do was fix the path. Of course it won't work if all PDF files are not in one and the same place... and anyway it's an obvious hack. Perhaps there is a way to pass the "current dir", or the full pathname, from Wine to a linux program when running it via file type association? Would be best to get it in the Linux format already, but the Windows format is OK, after all one can read the config and write a "path expand" utility (or perhaps it already exists?) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yours, Mikhail Ramendik P.S.The fact that TMP and TEMP need to be reset is understandable, no problem. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
