Bug ID: 55908 Summary: Regression beginning with 8.17: PNGGauntlet gives an error message and hangs if output folder doesn't exist Product: Wine Version: 8.17 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: NM64+bugs.winehq.org@PM.me Distribution: ---
Created attachment 75452 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=75452 wine-devel 8.16
Beginning with wine-devel 8.17, PNGGauntlet no longer properly handles if the output folder doesn't already exists.
In wine-devel 8.16 it would ask that the location doesn't exist and if it should be created, and it'd "just work" without issue.
In wine-devel 8.17 and newer (including the newest 8.20), you get some sort of error message instead and the program can end up hanging.
Attached are two demonstration videos, one using wine-devel 8.16 and the other 8.17, showing the entire process from scratch on a live ISO session of Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon.
I've also attached the terminal output as well as the information that the error message returns.
(oh and, is it just me, or is the "Compiling Wine" steps of https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing completely out of date, at least when testing in live ISO sessions of modern Debian-based distros like not only the aforementioned Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon but also LMDE 6 and Xubuntu 23.10)
