Wine cannot solve incomplete functionality Windows applications have. It will not help you. Wine is aimed at making Windows applications run on Linux and other Unixes. It has nothing to do with what a given application does or does not know how to do on Windows. More info on http://www.winehq.org. Please CC the list (wine devel) when replying.

Re: Different X Displays and Wine

by Eric Frias

Alexandre Julliard (julliard_at_winehq.org) wrote:> We don't support having the same user run from different displays at> the same time. I don't think that's a common setup at all. It probably is not a common setup, but Boaz isn't the only person to have been bitten by this. It has happened both to us and to people who use our software. In our development environment, we usually use one or two common user accounts to do all development and testing in. I know this isn't ideal, but I don't have any power to change this. Anyway, with this setup, it is very easy to have two people developing or testing from the same account but displaying on separate machines. Right now we have been doing what was suggested earlier -- we have a script to launch our application and this script creates a .wine-$DISPLAY directory and points WINEPREFIX to that directory. This works well enough for now. It's inconvenient that the config file and registry aren't shared, so doing things like changing printer settings is a bit of a chore, but this hasn't bothered us too much yet. We're also making the assumption that not many users will be running this on multiple displays, so things will just work for most users and the few that do try to run on multiple displays will at least be able to do it. I'm curious how much work would be involved in fixing this correctly. I've never looked at the wineserver code, so I don't know if this would just be a matter of adding another variable to a data structure that gets passed around to all of the windowing code, or if this would require major changes to the way wineserver works. If it's reasonably easy, I might be able to make the fix or lend some assistance; if it is a large amount of work, we'll probably be happy with the workaround we have. Eric

Haven't touched it since I was a Novel sysadmin, back in 1996. So, there is a Windows version now? What is, exactly, the problem you are experiencing with pmail? What version of Wine? Shachar P.s.

Interesting bug

by Mike Hearn

From the appdb: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * SAVE FOR WEB Solution* : Well, after a fair amount of trail-and-error testing, I have FINALLY found what WILL or WONT allow Save-For-Web to work... It actually is how you execute Photoshop.exe ... if you try to run it with forward slashes in the path, Save for Web will NOT work. If you execute with backslashes, Save for Web WILL work. So... Save for Web works with: wine "c:\program files\adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Photoshop.exe" Save for Web WILL NOT work with: wine "c:/program files/adobe/Photoshop 7.0/Photoshop.exe" Enjoy! Hiji ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have Photoshop here, but perhaps we should ensure that argv[0] and equivalents always use backslashes?

Re: WineSetupTk...

winesetuptk is still maintained? I thought the recent config file changes broke it! These days Wine is a lot more self configuring than it once was anyway, we just have a few things that still need to be done (better drive detection and such) ... what do you want to configure? -mike Tashlan wrote: > Dear Oh Glorious Developers, > (without which none of this would be possible) > > I have decided to try Wine for the first time and I'm trying to keep it > simple.
