Which > is, I guess, my goal... Speaking of SysAdmins, at ISP I am contracting for, my fellow admins that run Linux end up having to rdesktop quite a bit because Wine is unable to run Microsoft Office 2005 or 2007 communicator for the corporate discussions. There are some Windows admins that also would run Linux if not for that. I have found this is a common problem now at two seperate companies, at the last place I contracted at, there was a 50/50 mix of Ubuntu/Windows for developers and admins, but they are enforcing Office Communicator as the standard and so it looks like the Linux guys are going to have to dual boot or start using rdesktop more, which adds cost in Client Access licenses. I don't really have the time right now with my current projects however if you want to sell some of these guys on a Linux desktop and they have Exchange/Outlook infrastructure, this is a show-stopper, at least for us.

Cebit again

by Dan Kegel

I updated the slides at http://kegel.com/cebit one more time. The talk is this coming Thursday, so I'll probably fiddle with it a bit more. I did give a second practice run in front of a live audience, including some windows sysadmins, and they said it made Wine less scary. Which is, I guess, my goal... - Dan

Re: appdb issue: can't search for apps platinum on 1.0.x!

The whole idea of making a stable release is that it's something that should last for a while, be included in distros, and provide a base state that people can rely on. So we have to continue to support it, even if it's not being actively developed. There's no point in making stable releases if we decide that they are useless after 6 months (and no, the answer is not to make more frequent stable releases; even if we did one every 3 months we'd still have to support the old ones). -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: search path redux - if office 2007 always uses a private riched20, why does wine interpose its own global one?

Yes, native is like a newer version of riched20, not a wrapper like builtin msftedit. Of course this may change, since riched32 used to be a complete implementation, but was later turned into a wrapper around riched20. In order to do this the same way as native msftedit we would probably need to recompile the riched20 code using a version macro to select different behaviour for different parts of the code. This is seperate from 1.0 emulation which msftedit also allows, despite it's actually inconsistency with riched32 on it's improvements to riched20 (e.g. improvement in table implementation). However, distinguishing between different version didn't seem popular when I proposed the idea before, so I am waiting until this inconsistency actually causes problems for any applications. Either way, I don't think it would be much worse than the way things are for both dlls to prefer native. I am not opposed to any of the ideas proposed for fixing the bug (whether it is checking if it is loaded from the system32 directory, using a heuristic based on version of the dll, or having riched20 prefer native). What matters is what Julliard prefers, so I am just trying to provide any relevant knowledge.

storing the registry key class name to make PDFXChange-Viewer happy

by Patrick

Dear Developpers of Wine I like wine and I like Tracker Software's PDFXChange-Viewer as well. http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer So, today I was not getting any rest until i found out why these two won't work together nicely. I mean they DO, actually. But I'm kind of touchy. I was wondering all the time, why most of the settings I changed were not restored as I exited and restarted the app. I then discovered that if wineserver was preserved ("-p" option) beween restarts they WERE restored. Further investigations unveiled that the problem is triggered by the fact that wineserver is not storing the registry key class name attributes. Something M$ must have come up with in XP but that is not very wideley used. PDFXChange-Viewer however seems to rely on it when parsing it's preferences from the registry on startup. Wineservers unicode string handling gave me a though time in implementing a solution to this but i finally managed. You can see that I went quiet straightforward: adding the class name next to the key name in the {system,user}.reg files. There are two different versions of the fix. I would prefer the second one because it preserves backwards compatibility: In case the key class attribute is set, it is put in brackets between the key name and modification time. Otherwise nothing changes. It would be really nice if this could be somehow integrated into wine. (Not only because I worked on it for a whole day, but also because i really miss the feature because i don't want to reconfigure PDFXChange-Viewer every time i start it and also because I would like to make that functionality available to all of my friends and all linux users as well.

What does a user gain from learning how to add a repository manually? That's part of the installation procedure. Doing it manually serves no purpose. The rest of the installation is also a magic link to a package that puts all kinds of files on your system and runs configuration scripts. Remco

Lost disc 1 of WP Office 2002 :-(

by Dan Kegel

I went to the trouble of buying a copy of WordPerfect Office 2002 a while ago, and just tried installing it again - but I seem to have lost disc 1. Anyone have a copy they're not using anymore? I have disc 2 and a serial number, just no disc 1 :-(
