RE: Associations and a winelib application

[Stephane Lussier]

Look at the implementation of ShellExecute in the Corel tree (opensource.corel.com).

 

Association between file extension and application is stored in the registry (in Windows and in Wine Corel tree). I don't remember exactly which key, but that shouldn't be too tough to find.

 

Now, Corel has modified some code in ShellExecute (and all functions called by this function), to be able to discover if it's a Wine app or a native app, so to be able to launch the application  correctly.

 

I know,  this is kind of hacky, but this is effective.

Subject: Associations and a winelib application

I am porting an application to run as a winelib app.  It currently uses Windows mechanisms (at least ShellExecute) to initiate a Browser with a specific url.  I would like to generate the same result under linux.  I am new to KDE and Gnome, but they seem to have the association concept.  What would the right way to approach this be?
