Description Marcus Kempe 2010-05-27 21:47:16 UTC

winemenubuilder is able to automatically register file type associations and build menus under Linux, when triggered by an application under wine. 

It would be great if the same thing were true for protocol handlers, so that these would become registered in much the same way as when using gconftool in gnome:

gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/command 'wine c:\\spotify\\spotify.exe %s' --type String
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/enabled --type Boolean true

 
Would this be possible, hard, or maybe not a good idea?

Comment 1 Dmitry Timoshkov 2010-05-28 04:28:58 UTC

Please specify Wine version you are using.

Comment 2 Damjan Jovanovic 2011-03-30 19:12:12 UTC

It's possible, but Wine avoids doing desktop-specific things and http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications doesn't list any cross-desktop way to do protocol handlers.

Comment 3 Jerome Leclanche 2011-11-07 14:08:38 UTC

Damjan, what about implementing x-scheme-handler mime types?

http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html

Comment 4 Jerome Leclanche 2013-04-09 06:34:47 UTC

Quick update: Registering the x-scheme-handler/<protocol> mime type has since become the standard way of registering protocol handlers.

Comment 5 Alex Henrie 2023-06-23 21:57:49 UTC

Staging maintainers: Could you please include the patches from https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2740 in the next version of Wine Staging?

Comment 6 Alex Henrie 2023-06-26 17:55:04 UTC

The patches were added to Wine Staging 8.11.

Comment 7 Alex Henrie 2023-11-06 22:59:46 UTC

Fixed by https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commit/c4f4fb7f4478f21480f0d7d8046ed0d3bea94141 :-D

Comment 8 Alexandre Julliard 2023-11-10 21:01:02 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 8.20.
