[Bug 22343] New: Word Pro overwrites symbolic links
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22343 Summary: Word Pro overwrites symbolic links Product: Wine Version: 1.1.42 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: ToddAndMargo(a)verizon.net Hi All, The is major as it is messing the crap out of my file system. I am using Lotus Word Pro N9.8.0208.1200. When I create a symbolic link on my desktop to a document and use the link to open the document, saving the file overwrites the link with the actual document. This problem can not be reproduced with Notepad.exe To reproduce: 1) open word pro and create a document. Save the document to anywhere but ~/Desktop. For instance ~/eraseme.lwp 2) in your Desktop, create a symbolic link to the document you just created. For instance ln -s ~/eraseme.lwp ~/Desktop/. 3) open the new link on your desktop 4) make a change to the document and save it back. Exit the document. 5) Check the link on you desktop. It will be replaced with the actual document. And now you have two document of the same name with different revisions in different directories. I would really appreciate it if you would fix this asap!

trace:file:DeleteFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\eraseme.lwp"
At a guess, DeleteFileW is called by the app directly. Off the top of my head, I don't see any reason why DeleteFileW shouldn't remove your symlink. It seems like normal and expected behavior. You can confirm where DeleteFileW is being called by using winedbg. winedbg wordpro.exe break * DeleteFileW c bt -- 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.

Hi Jeff, I tried running this. I have no idea what I am doing or what I am looking for. This is over my head. Do you have a copy of Word Pro you can test this on? -T -- 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.

You can attach the output if you want. I did used to use LWP years ago, but I can't find the cd. The output should either indicate that LWP is intentionally deleting the file or the DeleteFileW is called from within Wine. -- 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.

When I hit the "c", word pro opened up, but would not respond to any commands. I am not sure a trace of this would help. Does the +file trace have enough in it for the developers to troubleshoot this? -T -- 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.

As Jeff pointed out app itself removes files then replaces it with a temporary file it creates: trace:file:CreateFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\lwp02a41.5d5" GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE FILE_SHARE_READ creation 3 attributes 0x80 trace:file:CreateFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\lwp02a41.5d5" GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE FILE_SHARE_READ creation 2 attributes 0x8000080 trace:file:DeleteFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\eraseme.lwp" trace:file:MoveFileWithProgressW (L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\lwp02a41.5d5",L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\eraseme.lwp",(nil),(nil),0002) Per symlink semantics when you remove it you remove the symlink no the file it points to. But even if Wine will do a workaround to remove the actual file there is nothing you can do about renaming another file with the name of the symlink. It will fail. -- 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.
