CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello,

Say I'm using Total Commander file manager in Crossover. It runs fine on MacOs Ventura, M1 MacBook Pro 2020.
Now I want to select file in Total Commander and open it in native macOs Sublime Text app, is there a way to do it?
By now macOs home folder is mapped to y: drive in windows apps, so the minimal thing I'd like to accomplish is to somehow run any mac native application passing parameters from windows app running within Crossover.

KR, Anton

I have not found other solution except for implementing simple Python3 http server on MacOS side that invokes Sublime Text with passed path (it also replaces Windows-style paths with MacOS paths along the way):

import subprocess
import os

from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
from urllib.parse import parse_qs

class RequestHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        # Extract the query string parameters
        query_params = parse_qs(self.path[2:])

        if 'sublime' in query_params:
            file_to_edit = query_params['sublime'][0]
            file_to_edit = file_to_edit.replace('\\', '/')
            if 'z:/' in file_to_edit:
                file_to_edit = file_to_edit.replace('z:', '')
            elif 'y:/' in file_to_edit:
                file_to_edit = file_to_edit.replace('y:', os.path.expanduser('~'))

            subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/open", "-a", "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text", file_to_edit])

            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/plain')
            self.end_headers()
        else:
            self.send_response(400)
            self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/plain')
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(b'Missing sublime parameter')

def run(server_class=HTTPServer, handler_class=RequestHandler, port=8000):
    server_address = ('', port)
    httpd = server_class(server_address, handler_class)
    print('Starting the server on http://localhost:{}/'.format(port))
    httpd.serve_forever()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run()

Total Commander then invokes curl and passes path of the file at cursor:

rem contents of edit.bat
call y:\Workspaces\Various\curl-8.1.2_3-win32-mingw\bin\curl.exe -G -v http://localhost:8000/ --data-urlencode "sublime=%~1"
