I use a local flash file (.swf) and I am trying to open it with Windows Standalone Flash Player (I assume it runs in Wine). I can use a custom command to browse to the flash player but it comes up with unable to find the flash player. It is in /home/LocalApps and as you can see its there. Why would Ubuntu MATE be unable to find the flashplayer.exe file, even when browsing to it?
I can open flashplayer.exe on its own and then open the flash file, but I want to have a click to open for a N00b that would find it difficult to open by browsing from inside the stand alone flashplayer.
you should open the file with "a Wine application" I created a folder, mickee/, added in notepad.exe Permissions on notepad.exe are: open with wine. When I click on notepad.exe from my file manager, it opens it. (first screen, autorun prompt is selected, autorun would exec a linux file, not a windows file)
Alternatively, to make life easier, you can set it so wine will automatically open .exe files files for you - instead of using the Wine File to locate the file each time. To do so, right click on the .exe file, select Properties, and then select the Open With tab. Click the 'Add' button, and then click on 'Use a custom command'. In the line that appears, type in wine, then click Add, and Close. Now all .exe files will be automatically opened by Wine, so you can use Nautilus to browse and open them instead of the Wine File.
