           Summary: ShellExecute does not integrate well with external
                    handlers
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: shell32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: rmh at aybabtu.com


ShellExecute does not integrate well with external handlers.

For example; my GNOME desktop has a PDF viewer, but when an application that is
run via wine calls ShellExecute on a PDF file, wine is only capable of opening
this file with PDF handlers that are installed within the wine environment.

I think the best way to handle this would be to replace the implementation with
an xdg-open(1) wrapper.
