Should the AppDB make public the number of unique page views each app gets?
by Scott Ritchie Jan. 25, 2006

Jan. 25, 2006

This was an idea we discussed in IRC for a short bit, and I think it would be good to bring it up here. Essentially, if the AppDB displayed the number of page views each app got it would go a long way towards estimating the demand for particular applications, whether they work or not. It seems fair to say that someone looking an app up in the AppDB either wants to run it in Wine or wants to know if it's doable should he switch to Wine. Coincidentally, this also helps solve the voting problem - since votes for gold apps are supposed to be replaced with votes for apps that work should be done on, we now have a mechanism to sort the Gold list other than by votes. Sorting the gold list by page views would also greatly help navigation from the front page of the AppDB, as it would place the most popular applications at the top. Then again, maybe there's something I've overlooked. Thoughts? -Scott Ritchie

Problem with WineD3D Surface Locking
by Stefan Dösinger Jan. 24, 2006

Jan. 24, 2006

Hello, I've spotted a bug in WineD3D's surface locking, and I have no clue how to fix this. The problem is that unlocking the back buffer causes it to become completely black, no matter what's written to it's memory or what has been there before. I have written a small D3D9 test app which shows this behavior: Compile it with "winemaker .", followed by make, and run it. Pressing ESC will cause it to quit, pressing any other keys makes IDirect3DDevice9::Clear call on the back buffer, with a color value based on the pressed keys. A click anywhere will LockRect() the whole backbuffer, write 0xff into the whole locked memory, and UnlockRect() it. The screen should become completely white, but instead it goes black. With the fglrx driver and 24 bit color depth it shows the correct behavior, but with any other driver(radeon, software rendering) or 16 bit color depth, it doesn't work. The bug is somehow related to some GL calls in UnlockRect(glPixelZoom and glOrtho), but I couldn't find anything specific. I hope you can help me, I am quite stuck here, Stefan

Invisible fonts - unimplemented SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE
by Peter Åstrand Jan. 19, 2006

Jan. 19, 2006

I'm trying to get the application "Nya Multigram" (http://www.softogram.se/multigramkunskapsbanken.html) running in Wine. It works somewhat, but the initial screen (which should look like http://www.softogram.se/grafik/multigramkunskapsbanken/mgkbscreenshot4.jpg) doesn't have any text. The buttons are rendered very slowly, and this error message appears: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 8202 (SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE) A screenshot is available at http://www.cendio.com/~peter/multigram.png.

I lack the time and testing abilities to do this right now (and now on xmas break). Its just a quick hack to get Google Earth running.

WINE 0.9.3 and Photoshop 7 & CS
by Aleksey Jan. 6, 2006

Jan. 6, 2006

Yesterday I upgraded to WINE 0.9.3, and then tried running Photoshop 7. Photoshop gave me a hardware error. I thought, no problem, I'll just reinstall it, same result. Then I reconfigured WINE using winetools and tried again, same thing. Here is what I got in the Terminal when running Photoshop 7: fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub! fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x7fa7de2c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW (L"\\\\.\\DISPLAY1",0,0x7fa7de2c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:mscms:EnumColorProfilesA ( (nil), 0x7fa7e694, 0x7fa7e1ac, 0x7fa7e6f4, 0x7fa7e704 ) stub fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x7fa7de34,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW (L"\\\\.\\DISPLAY1",0,0x7fa7de34,0x00000000), stub! fixme:mscms:EnumColorProfilesA ( (nil), 0x7fa7e69c, 0x7fa7e1b4, 0x7fa7e6fc, 0x7fa7e70c ) stub err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only! fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub Then I tried installing Photoshop CS, knowing that it worked fine with 0.9.2. Photoshop CS told me that certain required files was missing, but I forgot to get down the results from the Terminal. After that I downgraded to WINE 0.9.2 and both versions of Photoshop work great. A little side note: ImageReady 7 works great under 0.9.3, I did not test ImageReady CS. ImageReady 7 works great under 0.9.2 also, but ImageReady CS crashes. God Bless. - Aleksey

safedisc
by Ivan Leo Puoti Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Raphael Junqueira asked on bugzilla what the safedisc status is. Currently it works fine, and I believe what we have is more or less ready for CVS. However Vitaly told me Alexandre didn't like the object manager Vitaly wrote, mostly he didn't like permanent objects, that drivers depend on. I haven't talked to Alexandre about this but hopefully some reasonable solution can be found so we can get Vitaly's OM into wineserver (I mean my original implementation that uses pointers as handles also works, but things look better with a real OM). So let's try and trigger some community discussion, we are talking about the guts of wine after all. Vitaly, what's the OM status currently? Alexandre, what didn't you like about it? Ivan.
