Hey All,
When I install Lutris and by extension wine on a clean installation of EOS, I noticed that if I try to open an image for example, it will open with wine browser, same with a text file and I have to usually fix this by right-clicking on files and associating that file type back with its program.
I noticed Fedora did not have this issue on Lutris before I moved to EOS full time. Does anyone have any ideas why this happens?
Yes, this is due to stupid wine auto-mime-associations triggered by creating prefix / installing / running any software in it.
Read on portable wineprefixes here, you’ll find some scripts examples to get a grip of how basic wine works
To avoid this:
-
Delete those wine-specific entries from ~/.config/autostart
and ~/.config/mimeapps.list
and ~/.local/share/applications/
(i think? it was so long i don’t even remember ) and make sure you don’t have files associated with wine
anymore.
-
Basically to avoid this in future you’ll need to always run any wine / winetricks commands with that prefix:
env WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winemenubuilder.exe=d" wine some_command
env WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winemenubuilder.exe=d" winetricks some_command
Lutris itself shouldn’t create those as far as i remember, only wine
/ winetricks
directly.
To make your apps default again, you can reinstall your applications.

I think that just removing wine associations should bring it back
