Hello.

I have installed wine on debian wit apt-get install wine.
"wine app.exe" command works,
but no shortcuts were added.
So i can't make wine default for all ".exe" apps.

What did i miss in installing wine?
How can i make wine default?

Thank you.

Just to make sure I understand you, are you saying you want to add menu items that call wine to start the *.exe apps?

I want wine to start automatically whenever a double click .exe
because now i have to start exe from termminal

and why it could be that wine shorcuts have not appeared in menus?
Maybe it is because i did not use sudo but opened terminal with root and did apt-get from there. But i already tried reinstalling with sudo and it did not help.

Thank you

I haven't used wine in years and haven't used Gnome regularly in almost as many years, so I have no way of testing these, but I have some ideas that might work.

You might try configuring the file associations ("default applications" in the lingo of some) in Gnome so that file type "*.exe" has wine as the "open with" application. The Arch wiki has an nice article on how to do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...Control_Center

Have you tried adding the full wine command line for particular progam as a discreet menu item? I could do that in Fluxbox.

Alternatively, you might write a little script to start the application and add a menu item for the script as a menu item. All the script would need to contain is the command line to start the program.

Just a few thoughts.
