Associate a wine program to right click

  • 772

I've just installed Adobe Reader XI on ubuntu 14.04, but I can't have this program on right click. I used to some times ago, but I don't remember how to do that.

I tried some .desktop file in .local/Applications directory but I can't have AR in other application in contextual menu.

wine

    When you install Adobe Reader with Wine (and maybe other programs) to have this program available in the right-click menu, you have to use a .desktop file in the .local/applications directory such as:

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=Adobe Reader XI
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/nico/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/nico/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/nico/Start\\    
Menu/Programs/Adobe\\ Reader\\ XI.lnk %f
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

    By default, the %f at the end of the exec line isn't here and you'll have to add it or the program doesn't appear in the nautilus menu.
