I like the virtualized filesystem idea, but its probably not practical for wine itself to implement, moreso something for a separate project (winetricks?)
Thinking further about the virtualized filesystem idea, it should, in theory, be possible to virtualize the filesystem without needing a fuse driver, if the user were to setup a single file that were to hold the filesystem, sort of like a VHD or an ISO. I like the ISO idea better, but perhaps something that's not associated with a read-only media would be more appropriate. That way it could be mounted with the loopback driver already in the kernel and reads/writes would just take place to the mount point. It would make managing things easier because the user could create an fstab-like file for wine to read (or just do it in winecfg) to specify the mount point and path to the file containing wine's filesystem -- That's the one thing I've always disliked about wine was having the filesystem default to being under my home directory. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
