drive list is not refreshed in winecfg, no more disk label

Hi, [resend, 1st message disappeared?] since somewhere between wine-1.1.6 and 1.1.21, going to winecfg's drives tab does not (re)scan all drives such as CD-ROMs anymore. So access to the tab is faster, but winecfg does not display the disk label (shown empty) and serial number (always 0) any more. wine cmd -> "dir D:" still lists a disk's label and serial number. Did I miss a voluntary change or shall I file a regression? I'm not aware that my compilation setup may have changed. hal+dbus-dev have been there for ages. Thanks, Jörg Höhle

Maybe you're thinking of http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleaseCriteria That's for 1.0 (I don't think we've decided what the criteria are for 1.2). > Are these the only applications that are being targeted for 1.2? > Should others be added?

It's a big commitment to add an app to the "must work for 1.2 to be released" list. The criteria for that list were popular, useful, and freely downloadable applications which already run well To those criteria I would add testable using autohotkey Firefox does seem to qualify (people still use it under wine to get at particular plugins). If you're going to do that, please consider invoking the existing Firefox automated test suites; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_automated_testing - Dan

Emmanuel: At one time you stated that this work depends on a DIB engine. Have you looked at Max' work? Also, did work get finished on 1.1.2 or did that stop as well? James McKenzie

MaxVertexBlendMatrices issue
by Karl Vogel 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

(resend after subscribing to the ML - if the first post comes through, pls excuse the spam then :P ) Just tracked down a crash in the game Dark Age of Camelot (daoc) when pixelshaders are enabled. The game issues a GetDeviceCaps() and then checks if MaxVertexBlendMatrices >= 4, which on wine is set to zero on my videocard (Geforce 6800), whereas a windows box returns 4. I found this old post concerning MaxVertexBlendMatrices causing issues in another game (EQ): http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-February/062432.html http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-February/062437.html So I was wondering what the proper way to fix this would be? Should this be made overrideable by a registry setting for certain games? Or should the GL check be changed? Or is that software emulated vertex blending patch needed to correctly fix the issue? Bugzilla has 3 other games where the simple 'fix' of returning 4 makes the game work (Warhammer, EQ, Shin Megami Tensei Online): http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=MaxVertexBlendMatrices -- For reference the daoc bug is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10832

Hello all, I was just checking around some old bugs and found 786 still opened. I've written a patch for it, but I want to know if I'm anywhere close to get it in. I'm sorry if I'm only wasting your time. Matijn

Supported applications?
by Austin English 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Looking around the wiki/website, I can't find anywhere where the 'Supported applications' are listed (Powerpoint/Word/Excel viewer and Adobe Photoshop CS 2, if I remember correctly). Are these the only applications that are being targeted for 1.2? Should others be added? Mozilla Firefox would be a great candidate to add... I ask, so I know which applications to make more strenuous appinstall tests for. -- -Austin

Easiest to see is 'wine control'. It runs, but takes up 100% of a cpu core, and the window never appears. Notepad++ (my dogfood text editor has the same problem). I'm working on adjusting the tests to handle this type of failure better, and will try to run the full test suite on it soon. -- -Austin
