Mac – Make Wine app the default opener

macwine

I have Notepad which I open with "Wine".
I want to do that when I want to open file .txt, it will be opened by Wine Notepad.

How can I do that?

You will need:

make a custom launcher/wrapper for the notepad, e.g. WineNotepad.app
and in CMD-I you must change the default application for .txt files to the new launcher - and "change all"

how to create the custom launcher is here

Brew should install the wine in /usr/local/Cellar. Have you ran brew update && brew upgrade wine? I always use the GUI (Wineskin) which can be installed via brew cask. However, I also have the CLI and it works fine.

The real problem was that I had removed the Z: drive which pointed to my root directory. After adding the Z: drive back using winecfg, I was able to run Windows programs from any location again.

~~I finally got it fixed. I just deleted the .wine folder, ran winecfg again, and everything started working.~~

~~rm -rf ~/.wine winecfg~~

~~Sometimes after trying this solution, I still have this problem. I have found that moving the program to inside the ~/.wine/drive_c folder fixes this.~~
