There are more advantages a drupal solution would have, namely a proper issue tracker / project management thing (have a look at http://drupal.org/project/issues) Also there's a CVS deploy module, so maybe in the long run it will be possible to integrate the main winehq.org site, the mailman lists and the bug tracker into one drupal thing (also, phpbb can be integrated.. but the Drupal forum is way leaner and of course can be styled with CSS to be inline with the winehq.org corporate design) However migrating in a single step is probably not very clever, so let's just bring up here if we manage to produce something that works.. I'll report back, too, once I've migrated those modules to drupal 6 and got it to work properly. regards, marcel. -- <div id="signature"> "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." -- Henry Ford (1863-1947) Change the world!

gdiplus: negative stride from dipCreateBitmapFromFile

by bill lam

WHen I read a jpeg file of size about 600x400 pixels using gdiplus like this, GdipCreateBitmapFromFile fn BMP GdipGetImageWidth BMP w GdipGetImageHeight BMP h rt=. 0 0, w, h GdipBitmapLockBits BMP rt ImageLockModeRead PixelFormat32bppARGB DATA 'w h s f p r'=. DATA the member stride inside bitmapdata is negative, and its data buffer cannot be read successfully. when using native gdiplus that stride is positive, and it work ok. wine said itself cannot handle negitive stride yet so why itself create a bitmap wih negative stride in GdipCreateBitmapFromFile?

All apps > that I need use PA natively, only Wine doesn't have a PA sound driver. The point was and is that we don't want yet another half working sound backend in Wine. We will have to maintain the Alsa one because there are things PA won't be able to give us by design, like HW mixing and lowest-latency direct access which is needed for gaming. Of course, as you said, if someone has patches and intends to maintain it we're happy to accept it. But I think none of the current Wine sound developers(aka Maarten) has any intentions to spend time on a PA backend.

Fun Project: Add dialogs to builtin IE

by Steven Edwards

Hi, I submitted a proof of concept patch for this a week or so back that added a simple file->exit menu to the builtin Internet Explorer. I've spoken with Jacek a bit about it and it seems shdocvw.dll is the correct place to implement the UI layout if we are targeting IE versions less the 7. There seems to be a plugin interface the GUI uses for browser extensions but if a first pass I don't think we really need to support it. Unfortuntly due to time constraints I am not going to be able to work on this project so if there is anyone out there that wants to contribute with a simple fun project, please feel free to add menus, dialogs and the address bar. I'll try to help as best I can but I expect to be tied up for some time to come.

One thing that makes a forum look lonely and forsaken is if it has tons of categories with only a post or two in each. Just like a newsgroup that's been prematurely subdivided. - Dan

It appears that this screen layout is now the default (when I learned to program HTML it was 680x400 or smaller, i.e. webTV.) I look forward to implementation of the new colors. James McKenzie

There's been no change to layout so this still looks fine in 1024x768 too.

Send those comments > to me offlist, though. I can't think of a way to make it not suck so sending these thoughts here as they relate still to the current discussion about the wine-users gateway... I think the problem is more inherit in newsgroup design. Like you can view topics in but there is no way to have topics broken in to categories. I guess this is historical as the traditional newsgroup structure would have each group be its own catagory if there was enough demand example newsgroup structure would be comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine.general comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine.devel comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine.solaris comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine.ubuntu etc but we just have comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine because the demand metric is not high enough to have separate groups for each category. Plus it would make searching a bitch This is where forums really shine over google groups or a traditional mailing list to forum gateway. I am all for having mailman cross post to a forum category but ideally the forum should be an alternative front end with categories for wine-users and the wine newsgroup. I don't think it would be any trouble to get Tom's site to have a gateway that pulled wine-users and the newsgroup feeds in read-only. If someone wants to post to those forums they would still have to use traditional means ala mailing list, google groups, but it would provide a unified location for read-only access. Of course if the gateway is turned back on I guess wine-users and the newsgroups are really a single source. So to recap. Its all about categories for me. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
