Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I would like to open all graphic files by default in IrfanView under Wine. I have IrfanView installed and working.

Is this possible?

You'll probably get better info from the Wine web site since your question isn't actually a "puppy" question.

Sorry. i don't agree. It's a Linux/Puppy issue involving linking to some where in the Linux installation with a certain instruction I have, in fact, done it in the past, in Mint, but I can't remember the specific instruction need, nor where I found it out.

Hello,
Look into mime types for Rox..
The answer is there..

If after this you still haven't figured what to do- post back with the full path to your IrfanView executable..

As a friendly reminder- *always* include the Pup version you're run'n when asking for assistance.

I'm using Lucid 5.28.

I'm editing and completely rewriting this post because I made some progress shortly after posting it.

I figured I needed to change /usr/local/bin/defaultimageviewer

I changed it to:

G'day snowy,

A crude method but simple may help.

A bit of background. I need to use a Windows-wine program for orienteering maps (these have an extension .ocd).
For each Pup, I load wine plus a number of already "installed" programs in the .wine directory (as a sfs or by sym-links from my data partition).
I have a desktop/pinboard icon for my mapping program. To get it to open a map file by default, I open Rox, navigate to any map file, right-click this and select "Set Run Action".
This displays a dialog box which I then drag my program's desktop icon into.
So then clicking on any .ocd file, opens up the map.

With Irfan, drag its .exe to the pinboard/desktop if you haven't already, so you have an executable icon (check it does run).
Now right-click an image file in Rox and "Set Run Action" by dragging the Irfan icon into the box where it says.

I expect you'd need to do this for each type of image format Irfan or you want to use. But it is very quick to set-up once you get the hang of it.

Mmmhm, 'associating' file types is used by most file managers (if you use other than rox), for instance xfe uses a file types section in its rc for open, view and edit for each file type by extension. I usually use gview for a quick look if I don't anticipate editing an image file.

Not sure if %f would work if $@ isn't giving you joy (I forget these basics, so consider that as an uninformed guess fwiw.. )
