View Full Version : Open text file (txt) with gedit from program in wine

I have a program running in WINE is basically a glorified terminal program with some extra features (its a point of sale application). It comes with a window install and works fine with WINE. One of the options when printing from this application is to use whatever program typically handles .txt files on your windows desktop to print preview some output. From what I can see, when I select the print preview function, it seems to send the text file along to the client, but I suspect WINE is getting that file and not knowing what to do with it. I'd like it to open with gedit (or other text editor). How do I associate a .txt file in Wine with a program in the native os such as gedit?

Thank you,
mb.

had the exact same issue. I assume you've found a work around but in case not:
