Summary: automatic wine environment snapshot (time machine) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl
It would be useful if wine could make automatically snapshot of its entire environment -- changes in registry, new programs installed. User would configure how much snapshots he/she would like to have.
After (example) bad install of some bad program I could revert to the situation before installation -- I could choose reverting wine registry files, deleting programs files. This would work even if program would not allow for full deinstallation.
Another example of usage would be running wine with not current registry set, but selected -- with two options: a) as temporary set -- all changes are gone as soon as wine quits, so after full run there are no changes of any kind in wine b) as current set -- so the previous set is promoted and the changes are saved to the new-current snapshot
