[Feature Request] Being able to open programs in a file manager with q4wine

[ghost]

What I mean is that you can right click a .exe or folder with .exe instide in your file manager,then select "open with q4wine",then a window pops up that asks "Do you want to add/install/launch a program"
If you click on "add":Then you can add a .exe or whole folder to a existing prefix or create a prefix new prefix and select the wine version for that and add the program to there.

If you click on "install":Then you can install a program to an existing prefix or create a new one and install it there with a selected wine version.

If you click on "launch":Then it will launch the program with it's selected wine version and prefix if it's already added to q4wine. And if you didn't add that .exe to q4wine and hit "launch,then it will ask you which wine version you want to launch it with and then launches it once with that wine version and it will use a test prefix that exists only for that purpose.

And also,being able to do that for multiple files at once would be cool.
I would find this feature useful,cause then you can do everything directly in the file manager.

And if you click on "add",then you are also able to select "add whole folder".

There are 2 more options that would be cool:
If you select "open with wine cmd":Then it asks which wine version you want to choose and then opens that file in wine cmd.

If you select "add prefix":Then it will add that prefix to q4wine.

hi @Toadfield let me clarify this a bit.

There is an "Open with Q4Wine" option should be available for you atm. This should bring you the Run Program dialog that will let you to pick desired prefix and tune settings as needed. I think it covers "launch" use case you described in general except lookup for the DB to check it this program already added for any prefix.

You would like to have:

1. Short cut to run using wine cmd;
2. Short cut to add selected program as an Icon into desire prefix;
3. Ability to import selected directory as a wine prefix;

Not rally sure what do you men by "add whole folder" can you clarify please?

Thanks

Does that allow me to choose with which wine version I wanna open the .exe in that prefix?
Cause otherwise I would have to add a prefix for every wine version.

That you can right click on a folder,then select "add to prefix",then you can add the prefix you wanna add it to,then it gets added to that prefix.

"add whole folder"

I think it'd be simpler to open the target wineprefix in a file manager, let's say "/$HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Documents/", and just copy there whatever you want.
