[Bug 31026] New: Following ~/.wine/system.reg on a new profile
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31026 Bug #: 31026 Summary: Following ~/.wine/system.reg on a new profile Product: Wine Version: 1.5.7 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: sworddragon2(a)aol.com Classification: Unclassified If there is no profile for Wine but ~/.wine/system.reg is already existing as a symlink to another file Wine doesn't follow this symlink if a new profile is created (the symlink ~/.wine/system.reg will be overwritten with the regular file). Only the file ~/.wine/.update-timestamp is followed if it is a symlink. I think Wine should try to follow ~/.wine/system.reg too before overwriting it. -- 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.

Attempting to salvage partial configurations like that seems like a recipe for disaster. -- 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.

Attempting to salvage partial configurations like that seems like a recipe for disaster.
I'm using the system.reg, ..update-timestamp and the most parts of drive_c as a symlink to /wine and the related subdirectories. So I can install applications on the system and every user can use them but the local configurations like user.reg, userdef.reg and the local directory in drive_c will still stay in ~/.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.

Shouldn't be there the same behavior for both files? I don't care if you decide that both symlinks are followed or not - but we should have a strict solution then. -- 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.

Now all is working fine. -- 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.
