Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Wine is not registered as application to open application/x-ms-dos-executable files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.7.0-1.fc20 1.7.0-1.fc19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install wine 2.Try to open some exe file through GUI context menus Actual results: Wine is not in the list of application to open file, so it must be opened with terminal (by typing wine file.exe). Expected results: Wine should be the default application to open exe files instead of file-roller or other archive manager. Additional info: I've tested this in Fedora 19 and Fedora 20. Bug probably exists in Rawhide too, since there is the same version as in Fedora 20.
This is certainly not correct. Wine registers these mime-types via wine.desktop (in the wine-desktop package). However, it may be your desktop-environment which does not respect or handle this correctly.
Ok, I see KDE detected wine properly, but Gnome didn't. Should I report it as a bug against Gnome?
I've had this too. One can either set "application/x-ms-dos-executable=wine.desktop" as a default application in ~/.local/share/application/mimeapps.list Or set "NoDisplay=true" to false in /usr/share/application/wine.desktop Problem with the first is that it is per user and with the second you"ll get a pretty useless launcher in your menu. I think it would be better if NoDisplay only affects the menu and not the file associations (the open with menu), or something similar.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
