[Bug 16169] New: Add field for changes to default winecfg settings to AppDB test report form
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16169 Summary: Add field for changes to default winecfg settings to AppDB test report form Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dimesio(a)earthlink.net The AppDB test report form currently does not have a specific field to list changes made to default winecfg settings. Reporters can, of course, use the extra comments section for this, but many forget or don't bother, and even when they do, the information may be buried amongst a number of comments. This causes confusion amongst users (esp. new ones) who expect an app to work well based on a gold rating, but may not realize that it requires some tweaking. Adding a separate field would remind reporters to include this information, and highlight it for readers. This field could also be used to automatically restrict platinum ratings to the stated definition of "no changes required in winecfg." -- 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.

I think it would be a big improvement for users browsing the test submissions... It would be useful if the field included winetricks usage (when used to install Windows libraries) as well. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

There are some older apps that don't work on modern versions of Windows and therefore can't be expected to work on Wine's default of Windows 7, but run without a problem when the version is manually set to be older—as an example, Tomb Raider 3-4 (the relevant bug being #42175). I don't disagree with having such a restriction when it comes to DLL overrides, or even when the program works on Windows 7 but not Wine 7; but, if the program works on Windows 95 but not 7 and Wine matches that behaviour, I'm not sure the game doesn't deserve platinum. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

This may not be the best place to ask this, but, do we really want to limit rating to a default Windows version?
We don't. The question for the Workaround field is very clear about that: "Were any workarounds used for problems that do not exist in Windows?" -- 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.
