LookupIconIdFromDirectory16() is unused

by Francois Gouget

dlls/user32/cursoricon.c defines a LookupIconIdFromDirectory16() function which is not used anywhere. What is strange is thar user.exe.spec exports a LookupIconIdFromDirectoryEx() function. So shouldn't it export a LookupIconIdFromDirectory() function too? In which case I suspect that LookupIconIdFromDirectory16() would be its implementation... Unfortunately I have no information about what 16bit dlls are supposed to export... -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- from some indian guy

Don't you think you guys are being kinda tough on a CodeWeavers reseller? and how the HELL is it a rip off? a single copy of CrossOver pro cost $69.95 retail.. And your getting the OS and support with the OS. So they bundle a older version of Wine, maybe it's the version that was current during their testing cycle for the OS release. >From what Ive read on this thread all your going to do is run resellers away from CodeWeavers and small distro's away from bundling Wine. Clap, Clap, Clap I hope you're all happy now! Maybe if you tried to be more constructive and less destructive you would accomplish allot more then what you have with this Rant, flame, troll, fubar thread.

tests with new DIB

by Evgeny Burzak

Hello, I make some tests and it show interesting results: * Archicad 10 and 11 can open plans, crashed of course and unusable, but with WINEDIB=OFF it didn`t work at all. * Flash 8 with WINEDIB=ON render fonts much faster. Screens and logs attached. colors of plans are wrong. Must be grey on white. -- Evgeny Burzak <buzzilo(a)gmael.сом>

Re: Fixing AppDB once and for all

by Zachary Goldberg

All, Meeting went well. We had a good number of contributors for more than 2 hours. Several outcomes from the meeting and a transcript are available on the wiki: http://wiki.winehq.org/AppDBUpgrades In Summary: We have a consensus that we want to replace the generic open questions we have now with a more structured survey where we can get specific bits of data. The premise is to turn the current system of 'please tell me how it went' to a more formal 'give us a full formal (and consistent) report of *how* you ran the app and your experience thereafter'. To accomplish this the idea is two have a survey with two major sections, an "Install" and a "Runtime". Each section strives to get information as to how much progress was made in [installing/running] and how hard it was to make that progress. From there we can generate much more detailed and objective information about how well an application runs. There are several ideas for how to determine an overall 'rating' based on this information. There is all of this in much more detail on the wiki, just wanted to give a brief summary. Theres enough information from the discussion to begin moving forward with coding. Andrew Riedi and I thus far are the volunteers to begin digging in. If anybody else is interested in getting their hands dirty please do respond to this, and we'll work out how to get it done. I imagine I'll setup and email a public .git (that isn't live to winehq) for development. Stay tuned for that. The major open issue is still how to determine a rating and how to display whatever rating. To decide this issue I think we should have another meeting next Friday. What: Meeting #2 to discuss ratings: Where: #winehackers on irc.freenode.net When: 9PM UTC Comments?

ntdll: add a warning about running wine as root (resend)

Didn't receive any feedback on this one last time. Been seeing this a bit recently in the forums, so adding a warning. No actual functionality lost. -- -Austin

I have downloaded the copy of wine thats on there site, Its wine version 0.9.46! If you read the version in full you will see its copied from the Ubuntu repo. This whole thing would be funny if it was not for: Read cost. http://www.imagicos.com/why.html Rip off! http://www.imagicos.com/get.html After a bit more reading it looks like they buy a copy of Crossover games and add some open source software and sell it on at 3 times the price.
