[Bug 1240211] Re: [wishlist] [solved] .lnk file support
Thank you! It work perfectly.
P.S. #1. While it intended for Gnome3, i also test it in old Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Some tricks are needed for such Gnome2-based OS, maybe it can be helpful for
someone:
[code]# Emulate 'gsettings' program which is not exist for Gnome2
sudo touch /usr/bin/gsettings
sudo chmod a+rwx /usr/bin/gsettings
sudo echo echo Humanity /usr/bin/gsettings
# Make new folder and config file
mkdir $HOME/.cache/thumbnails
gsettings $HOME/.cache/thumbnails/gnome-exe-thumbnailer.cfg
# Link new thumbnailer
gconftool-2 --type=bool --set
/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-ms-dos-executable/enable true
gconftool-2 --type=bool --set
/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-ms-shortcut/enable true
gconftool-2 --type=string --set
/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-ms-dos-executable/command
/usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer %i %o
gconftool-2 --type=string --set
/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-ms-shortcut/command
/usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer %i %o
# Link original thumbnailer if you need it suddenly:
gconftool-2 --type=string --set
/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-ms-dos-executable/command
/usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh %i %o
gconftool-2 --type=string --set
/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-ms-shortcut/command
/usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh %i %o[/code]
P.S. #2. It is useful sometimes to create .lnk file from msdos/windows
executable. I use it for tests. There is proprietary program 'xxmklink' exist
for it, it is free for non-profit use: http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy38.htm
Place xxmklink.exe to system32 (and to syswow64 folder for x64 OS).
To use it with Ubuntu, i create small glue logic:
[code]sudo touch /usr/bin/mklnk
sudo chmod a+rwx /usr/bin/mklnk
sudo echo 'wname=`winepath -w $1` ; wpath=${wname%'$'\047''\'$'\047''*} ;
wdescr=`zenity --entry --text=Enter text description (No empty allowed):
--entry-text=Description` ; echo *$wname* ; echo *$wpath* ; wine xxmklink.exe
$wname $wname %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 $wpath $wdescr 1 $wname:1
| zenity --text-info' /usr/bin/mklnk [/code]
and for Gnome2, you just select Use custom command... from context menu of
your .exe file and type 'mklnk'.
For Gnome3, one may use:
[code]1) use this once:
mimeopen -d '/home/full path/to/your app.exe'
use application # -- Select (Other...)
use command: mklnk
2) next time use context 'Open with...' menu as in Gnome2 (select mklnk) on
your exe files.[/code]

[Bug 1240211] Re: [wishlist] [solved] .lnk file support
I added the support for application/x-ms-shortcut (.lnk) files based on the jopka's patch. Whoever is interested in this feature, please test the attached tarball (sudo tar xjvf gnome-exe-thumbnailer_0.9.2.tar.bz2 -C/). There are also some minor fixes and features included that didn't made it to the official release yet. ** Attachment added: gnome-exe-thumbnailer_0.9.2.tar.bz2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/+bug/1240211/+attachment/3879220/+files/gnome-exe-thumbnailer_0.9.2.tar.bz2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240211 Title: [wishlist] [solved] .lnk file support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/+bug/1240211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
