Two questions on the Portuguese translation
by Francois Gouget March 7, 2012

March 7, 2012

Hi, I noticed two Portuguese translations that look a bit strange to me: msgid "" "You don't have a drive C. This is not so great.\n" "\n" "Remember to click 'Add' in the Drives tab to create one!\n" msgstr "" "se não tem uma unidade C. Isto não é nada bom.\n" "\n" "Certifique-se que clica em ?Adicionar? no separador Unidades para criar " "uma!\n" Are the question marks around 'Adicionar' normal? I did not see this pattern elsewhere. msgid "&Search...\tCtrl+F" msgstr "&Localizar..." This translation is missing the keyboard shortcut. Is that intentional? -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ The nice thing about meditation is that it makes doing nothing quite respectable -- Paul Dean

Users with native w2k/wxp/Vista/w7, please test (CreateTimerQueue)
by Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle＠t-systems.com March 6, 2012

March 6, 2012

Hi, If you can run MS-Windows without virtual machine, please visit testbot https://testbot.winehq.org/JobDetails.pl?Key=17175 download the 32 or 64bit executable and execute it. I can't really trust vm machines for timing, but so far it appears that: - Vista/w2k8SE/w7 perform rate correction so as to maintain an average number of callbacks sync.c:583: TimerQueue period 10ms with 0 stress, flags 0 sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 30 delta 15 sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 46 delta 16 sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 46 delta 0 sync.c:601: 80 callbacks within 796/800ms, avg 9.950/10 They'll refire with up to 0 wait upon noticing that it's very late! sync.c:583: TimerQueue period 10ms with 7 stress, flags 10 sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 46 delta 15 sync.c:570: thread 1340 busy 7ms sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 53 delta 7 sync.c:570: thread 1340 busy 7ms sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 62 delta 9 sync.c:570: thread 1340 busy 7ms sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 77 delta 15 sync.c:570: thread 1340 busy 7ms sync.c:558: thread 1340 hpctime 84 delta 7 sync.c:570: thread 1340 busy 7ms sync.c:601: 59 callbacks within 607/600ms, avg 10.288/10 It maintains its average even the callback is busy for 7ms within each 10ms interval. sync.c:583: TimerQueue period 10ms with 12 stress, flags 20 sync.c:558: thread 828 hpctime 31 delta 12 sync.c:570: thread 828 busy 12ms sync.c:558: thread 828 hpctime 43 delta 12 sync.c:570: thread 828 busy 12ms sync.c:601: 42 callbacks within 507/400ms, avg 12.071/10 This one surprises me. No multiple threads are used. Wine uses several threads here. When every callback is busy for 12ms, MS does not reach an average 10ms per invocation, whereas Wine does, thanks to several threads that execute the callbacks concurrently. I want to figure out why several threads were not used. sync.c:601: 40 callbacks within 4624/4680ms, avg 115.600/117 Ok. Note that the average is usually slightly lower than expected, simply because the first callback is asked to fire at time period/2. - w2k/xp do not maintain an average (at least on testbot) sync.c:583: TimerQueue period 10ms with 0 stress, flags 0 sync.c:558: thread 836 hpctime 30 delta 15 sync.c:558: thread 836 hpctime 46 delta 16 sync.c:601: 51 callbacks within 796/800ms, avg 15.608/10 So at least in testbot, the minimum rate is the well-known 15.625ms interval. Note that the 15.625ms is visible in the w7 testbot results too. sync.c:583: TimerQueue period 117ms with 0 stress, flags 20 sync.c:558: thread 840 hpctime 311 delta 125 sync.c:558: thread 840 hpctime 436 delta 125 sync.c:601: 37 callbacks within 4561/4680ms, avg 123.270/117 Unlike w7, it never corrects to a smaller interval like 109ms to reach the requested average of 117ms. This is good news for audio in Wine, because we can make CreateTimerQueue mimic Vista/w2k8/w7 behaviour to give us a stable rate (on average). The logs are quite long, you can send me them per e-mail. Thank you, Jörg Höhle

translation: meaning of 'magazine' in winerror string
by Fernando Martins March 6, 2012

March 6, 2012

the po file contains #: winerror.mc:1541 msgid "The magazine is not present.\n" Originally I assumed "magazine" was meant as a sort of storage since the typical meaning of "periodical publication" would not seem to make much sense in the context of a wine error. However, other translations do indeed choose the concept of "periodical". Could I get an explanation of what is meant in the string? Also, this is not an isolated issue. It would be useful if screenshots of the original English dialog boxes, etc would be made available. Maybe a project for the Summer of Code? I mean, to setup an infrastructure to associate lines in po to available corresponding screenshots?

What to do about en.po?
by Lauri Kenttä March 5, 2012

March 5, 2012

Hi, The neutral sublanguage of English (en.po) is missing a lot of texts. Is there really a need to "translate" everything to neutral English? I think it's a waste of time to maintain three sets of English texts (msgid, en.po, en_US.po). It would be more practical to have msgids automatically used as the neutral English texts. The current en.po causes undesired results with certain LC_* combinations: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29924 -- Lauri Kenttä

Re: winemenubuilder: Nothing useful is done on Mac OS X so just exit.

Perhaps it's better to produce something than produce nothing. Since I first used Wine, perhaps half a decade ago, I've always been looking at the .desktop files to see what the installers declared as - command line arguments and - initial directory. Simply starting an .exe in the file manager is not always enough. That info is also available by tracing a particular channel, however the .desktop is persistent, while I may have forgot to trace that verbose WINEDEBUG channel during installation. With that information, I created my own .desktop files on Linux and .command files on MacOS. I was also more pleased back when Wine wrote human readable .desktop files into the various profile/ subdirectories instead of the current .lnk binary files. What tool can read those pesky .lnk files? Since then I've been annoyed by Wine on Linux repeatedly rebuilding Gnome menus, spitting errors about Wireshark that's not even a Wine app, as well as Wine on MacOS flooding /tmp with .icons files as mentioned in http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2011-December/093570.html $HOME/.local/share/icons/ never contained a flood of icons, just one per installed app and readme. On both systems, I've repeatedly removed winemenubuilder from the registry, only to find Wine's next update put it back. Whatever you do, please make sure that users can obtain an installed app's command line arguments and launch directory in a simple way. While improving the Mac user experience, what about enhancement request 19028? Thank you, Jörg Höhle
