For the past few days I have been looking at MIME handling in Wine. A<br>
program I'm using uses CreateProcess to launch a pdf file and I would<br>
like to use the default native pdf viewer.</blockquote><div><br>I think it would be useful to have two different checkbox option in winecfg that ask:<br><br>1.� "Always open files with native application if available?" <br>
2.� "Ask me whether to open with file formats with a native application or my Windows application?"<br><br>(Optionally, saying "No" to #1 could imply #2.� However, I think it might be clearer to explicitly have it as an option.)<br>
<br>For instance, in the case of PDF's, say you have a great native viewer available and you want to use that viewer to view all PDF's.� However, you also have Adobe Acrobat installed under Wine (hypothetical, I have no idea if that app works) and that's what you like to use for editing.� You probably want to use the viewer most of the time, but every once in a while you'd probably like to be prompted to use Acrobat so you can edit the PDF.<br>
<br>What would also be slick is to have the Windows Explorer "Open With..." functionality provide a list of native apps as well.� <br><br>-Brian<br></div></div>
