I have searched the web up and down for a way to make files open with programs running in wine. For example: I want to be able to click on a .txt file and it opens up with TextPad; or, I want to open a .doc file to open with Word. The files work if I were to go to file > open... but it is becoming increasingly inconvenient to do this. I am aware that I can right-click on it go to properties, then Open With and choose the application I want. However When I do this, I get a popup and an error (see attachments).
P.S. I'm not quite sure how; but after a while, files such as .docx, .pptx and .xlsx files did start to work when I click on them. It however does not work with the older .doc, .ppt and .xls files though. This has happened on all my computers that have Office on it.
