Use Linux file manager for Wine applications

Wine uses internal rudimentary file manager, it is very unefficient to use it.

The simplest most effective solution is to run chosen default Desktop file manager.

That solution is tricky to construct but straight-forward to implement.

Solution is found in: askubuntu responce.

Straight instructions

1. Backupd Wine "Windows" registry

Run:

wine regedit

Save registry.

2. Import registry changes

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\windows\\system32\\winebrowser.exe\" -nohome \"%1\""

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder\shell\open\ddeexec]

force-linux-file-manager.reg

Done.
