Total Commander under Wine

How to have a lot of fun with your favourite tool in linux / under wine?!

1. have the systems keyboard shortcuts disabled
   in ubuntu v7.0.4, i had to disable for example ALT+F1, ALT+F2, ALT+F5 and ALT+F6
   those are essential to my life with total commander
   the last one was a bit tricky, cause its not to be switched off in the easy to reach tools of gnome
   i had to start gconf-editor via shell and search for '<Alt>F6' to get rid of that :-)
   
2. have a decent wine version installed
   i just tested tc v7.0.1 under wine v0.9.45
   i haven't found any serious flaws
   
3. have msttcorefonts installed
   you will have much more fun on comparing two files by content if you have this package installed, trust me! ;)
   on a debian based system try: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
   
4. have filetypes associated and a fitting wrapper installed
   integration of total commander in the linux system will be much better, if you can start all those files right away
   
   1. there is a nice PERL tool for this purpose: wine_wrapper
      this will adjust the file associations, so you can start files out of your wine with the according native linux apps
      ( you might also want to have a look at this for a different tool in php )
   2. there is also another way to get the same behavior (IMHO a better way): http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/222

1. Copy Filepaths to Clipboard

Here is a small script that enables you to copy a valid Linux path of selected file(s) in Total Commander

(Works under Mint 17.1 with XFCE with one or multiple selected files)

 #!/bin/sh

 outputp=""

 for var in "$@"
 do
 	currentpath=`wine winepath -u "$var"`;
 	outputp=$outputp$currentpath'\n';
 done
 echo $outputp |  xclip -selection clipboard;

To use this script

• save the script in a file named e.g. clip.sh and put it into e.g. /home/user/scripts
• make script executable, i.e. chmod +x clip.sh
• create Button in TC and use

command: Path to script parameter: %P%N

or copy the text below and paste it onto TC Button bar and then adjust paths.

 TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
 /home/user/scripts/clip.sh
 %P%S
 %COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICONS.DLL,59
 Copy Fullname As LinuxPath
