Bug ID: 41668 Summary: wineboot mishandles user dir symlinks during update Product: Wine Version: 1.9.22 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: programs Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: galtgendo@o2.pl Distribution: ---
In a standard wine prefix 'Desktop', 'My Documents', etc. are symlinks to ${HOME}. As are their localized versions.
I consider the first a wrong choice and and make those normal dirs in the prefix; as for the second, I turn those into symlinks to their English counterparts.
Yet...
Upon 'wineboot' at each wine update, while the English dirs stay untouched, the localized symlinks get reset into ${HOME} symlinks.
If it's WAD, it's a misfeature; otherwise, it's a bug.
