Summary: wineprefixcreate creates folder "My Video" instead of "My Videos" Product: Wine Version: 0.9.49. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wine-tools AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bammzilla@gabriana.com
I have a symlink from my real My Documents folder (in another drive, accesible from both Windows and Linux) into my Home folder. Hence Wine maps "My Documents" to "~/My Documents" which is great.
My annoyance is that creating a new wine bottle using either wineprefixcreate or winecfg always creates a new empty folder called "My Video" inside my My Documents folder, even though I already have a folder called "My Videos" (note the "s").
It appears to be a typo somewhere in the code, as Crossover Linux 6.2 Trial Version correctly recognizes my "My Videos" folder.
Opening winecfg, under Desktop Integration, we can see:
Shell Folder Links to Desktop /home/username/Desktop My Documents /home/username/My Documents My Pictures /home/username/My Documents/My Pictures My Music /home/username/My Documents/My Music My Video /home/username/My Documents/My Video
On the other hand, Crossover's winecfg correctly lists the following:
Shell Folder Links to Desktop /home/username/Desktop My Documents /home/username/My Documents My Pictures /home/username/My Documents/My Pictures My Music /home/username/My Documents/My Music My Videos /home/username/My Documents/My Videos
I know I can change the target folder from the GUI, but it would be better if wineprefixcreate does it correctly from the start.
Although I consider this a minor bug, this is a bit of an annoyance for me because I like installing new programs into separate wine bottles, and I therefore use winecfg and wineprefixcreate on a regular basis.
