Permisions Changed After Update

You have saved me checking that particular script file,  I assumed this would work fine but got sidetracked looking at Wine and studying the wine manual.

I am interested to know if you perceive any "slowness", not quite sure how to explain it. When you click on a .jpeg file, does it open so quickly that you simply do not have time to think "this is a bit slow"?

Using a script file I feel Irfanview just has a bit of "slowness" but I am already starting not to think about this as IrfanView is opening fast with picture installed.

The .png files for our purpose here can just be looked at as the Linux equivalent of a .jpeg, it should make no difference to our testing to get the file installed in IrfanView when clicking on the picture.

Thank you, looking forward to give it a try.  I have done some preliminary testing on using Editpad Pro,  I started with the free version EditPad Lite, there has been drastic changes somewhere over the past years because now Editpad will open really fast.  I need to test how the file association will work with Editpad, should just be a rework of the script.

For my own record I may open a new topic concerning my exploits with wine-EditPad if I can find time for more work.

No really noticeable delay for me.

Thanks, that is good.

One little glitch but it doesn't bother me. I have to close an image opened this way twice. The first time I click it starts to close then reopens so I have to hit the "X" again. It isn't really a problem. It always closes the second time and  stays closed.

Are you using this script, that is two lines:

#!/bin/sh
File="z:"${1//\//\\} ; wine  "/usr/share/IrfanView/i_view32.exe" $File
wine  "/usr/share/IrfanView/i_view32.exe" $File

This is in my opinion wrong, as you can see you are calling wine twice in the script, this is why you get the apparent double x needed to shut down.

Modify your script to the "original":

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
File="z:"${1//\//\\}
wine  "/usr/share/IrfanView/i_view32.exe" $File

I expect no more double clicking,  I did not read your earlier post properly but now your problem stood out clearly (almost) 

Some more work I did on the single line suggestion by Just17 : 

Code: [Select]

File="z:"${1//\//\\} ; wine  "/usr/share/IrfanView/i_view32.exe" $File
This failed, would open IrfanView but no picture, that intrigued me as at that stage I was under the impression you had successfully used the line. Now I expect that if you try to run a single line script based on that line you will not have success either.

During this little exercise I did find out that when running my two line script in the "command" line for file association I do not need the %f parameter.

Thank you that solved the problem.

I wish you great enjoyment with IrfanView, I know how I missed it when I first arrived in PCLinuxOS. I am also pleased you mentioned the double x'ing, really would have been a pity if you had to put up with that just because I could not read properly. 

I was not that happy about adding Wine but now that I have my beloved EditPad Pro in about 90% operation I am relenting.

One thing I still miss in IrfanView is multilevel undo, but I have also found out that it is design not to be, single level undo has something to do with speed. I can live with that. Speed and simplicity.

One of these days I really need to make an attempt to learn scripting. If I use to be able to make webpages in a text editor using basic HTML basic scripting can't be that much harder but I was younger then and new to computers and perhaps more excited by all things computer.

Irfanview was the first program I ever ran with Wine. Struggling to add the same darn DLL that had been missing in Win 98.  The Linux purists may insist that there is nothing that can't also done with Linux programs but I will argue Irfanview is just simpler and easier to use for some things.

If you have done html you can do scripting but there are new things to learn and remember.

A very important thing when you want to learn something new: Do you have a need for something to be done. Something that you can see can be done by scripting, then that guides you towards a goal and keeps you motivated, it works a treat for me.  Of course a certain natural curiosity helps.
