Making Unity open HTML files & URLs with a native Linux browser.

[Pendrokar]

This tutorial is not enough - http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-make-wine-open-links-in-your.html

This is probably due to installing IE8 which changes keys in the registry.

After doing the steps described in the above tutorial on keys "htmlfile", "http" and "https" you also will need to delete or rename the "ddeexec" keys found under keys "open"/"opennew", otherwise Wine throws an error without launching your browser.

Doing 'wineboot' the equivalent of Windows rebooting is not required. Whatever changes you do with regedit are instantly recognized by other Wine applications even ones already running.

I guess a script can be made for this...

Done... didn't find a way of renaming keys instead of deleting, so backup your registry files for your wineprefix. They are beside "drive_c".

Ways to import:

• Open regedit with 'wine regedit' with the appropriate WINEPREFIX and then use Registry -> Import Registry File.
• Or do 'wine regedit ~/Downloads/nativebrowsers.reg' with the appropriate WINEPREFIX

Note this does not affect the Asset Store, which uses its own browser.

Little note here: to avoid multiple files while installing Unity (such as .reg files), reg.exe can be used.

For exampler wine reg add. I've used it in both PoL and Winetricks installation scripts.
