winebrowser and multi-word commands
by Yuriy Sept. 2, 2006

Hi, I noticed that winebrowser doesn't work with browsers/commands that are more than one word. For example, the command to run konqueror with the webbrowsing profile on kubuntu is: kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing [url] Setting that to be the first attempted webbrowser in the registry: [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Wine\WineBrowser] "Browsers"="kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing,konqueror,firefox,mozilla,netscape,galeon,opera,dillo" and running: winebrowser http://www.winehq.org yields this: Considering: kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing argv[1]: http://www.winehq.org Considering: firefox argv[1]: http://www.winehq.org then it opens up with firefox. Is this a bug? Would it just be a matter of modifying the winebrowser script to fix? ~Yuriy

Thanks Tom! I was indeed confused. I was wondering if it were some literary reference I was missing, like Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter books or something. /me stops scratching his head. --Juan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Thank you

We just shipped a public beta of CrossOver for the Mac. We're very excited about the Mac opportunities as we hope it will give us a much needed boost and allow us to accelerate our own contributions to Wine. I'm proud of our work on Wine - and I am very privileged to work with the folks at CodeWeavers. However, it's also clear that the Wine community is a growing one, and that a large portion of the work in CrossOver comes from people who contribute here. This past year, in particular, I've noticed a great jump in contributions, notably in the area of games (yay for World of Warcraft support!). By doing so, I think you make the world a better place, and indirectly you help all of us at CodeWeavers to make a living - you literally help to put food on my table (although my wife is getting tired of beans and rice :-/). So, thanks. I personally appreciate it, and think it's Good (TM) that you do. I also believe that countless other folks who use Wine in various forms also appreciate it, although they're polite enough not to write long winded emails expressing that. But for any of you that come to Reading, the least we can do is buy you dinner and a drink or two. And if any contributor ever needs something from CodeWeavers (like a free CrossOver account), just holler. Cheers, Jeremy White CEO CodeWeavers, Inc. p.s. Okay, being brutally honest, the jury is out on whether or not all the work making World of WarCrack^H^Hft is going to be a net gain for us or not. Now even my wife is addicted, and I have to go level up my Paladin to keep the work group happy... :-/

Clarification
by Tom Booker Sept. 1, 2006

Sept. 1, 2006

Hi everyone, I feel like I owe some of you some clarification with all of the names I have slung around here in the past as my own.. I started contributing as Dustin Navea, then it switched to Dustin Booker, then to Tom Spear (aka Dustin Booker Dustin Navea), and finally to Tom Booker. It's about to change for the last time, to Tom Spear. My legal name was Dustin Thomas Booker until recently, Navea came from my stepfather, Spear was my mother's maiden name. Long story short, I prefer Tom to Dustin, so I flip flopped my first and middle name, and to honor my mother's father, and carry his family name on (he didn't have any sons), I decided to take his last name, so my legal name is Thomas Dustin Spear now, and it will (hopefully ;-) ) stay that way. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused in the past, including any this email may have caused. -- Thanks Tom Check out this new 3D Instant Messenger called IMVU.

Adding L"" defines to include files ?
by Paul Vriens Sept. 1, 2006

Sept. 1, 2006

Hi, I'm currently dealing with the DllRegister part of wintrust. One of it's include files (softpub.h) on Windows has: #define SP_POLICY_PROVIDER_DLL_NAME L"WINTRUST.DLL" #define SP_INIT_FUNCTION L"SoftpubInitialize" #define SP_OBJTRUST_FUNCTION L"SoftpubLoadMessage" #define SP_SIGTRUST_FUNCTION L"SoftpubLoadSignature" #define SP_CHKCERT_FUNCTION L"SoftpubCheckCert" #define SP_FINALPOLICY_FUNCTION L"SoftpubAuthenticode" #define SP_CLEANUPPOLICY_FUNCTION L"SoftpubCleanup" should we do the same? I've seen several occurrences of these in our own include files, so one should think there is no harm. Cheers, Paul.
