Hi, Is there a reason that: a) The Wine open/save dialog boxes don't show or follow symlinks and b) They show dotfiles? I seem to recall a discussion on wine-devel way back on the topic of dotfiles, but a quick archive search didn't turn up much of use. At the very least I think it should be a pref, wading through lots of dotfiles in your home dir makes it much harder to open files with wine, and obviously non-technical users will wonder what is going on with all these stranges folders that I never made...... -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

Don't forget that the users are still Linux users, even if they use a Windows program :) bye Fabi

Check out the config file: [wine] ;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1" ;"ShowDotFiles" = "1" Ciao, Marcus

maybe it'll make them clean up the mess in ~ mine gets full of .prxh0622a, .twmc0524a and .xsma0478b files (probably because I shutdown from within X) David -- David Laight: david(a)l8s.co.uk
Thanks. I wonder why I didn't see them before.... Marcus Meissner wrote:
