Summary: wineprefixcreate creates useless directories in "My Files" directory Product: Wine Version: 1.1.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shell32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero@arcor.de
In my linux home dir, I have a symlink called "Eigene Dateien" (the German name for "My Files") which links to the My Files directory of my windows installation. This is automatically choosen by wine to be the My Files directory of the wine bottle as well, which is really nice (though I don't know how wine determines that^^). However, wine creates two directories in there called "Meine Musik" and "Meine Videos" which it assigns to "My Music" and "My Pictures" of the wine bottle. First of all, I don't want wineprefixcrreate to modify anything outside of the prefix t should create (it took me a while until I figured out it was wine which constantly re-created these annoying directories). And second, the names are wrong (if they were correct, I would not have noticed that behaviour as the correct directories exist in there). The directories are called "Eigene Musik" and "Eigene Videos" in the German translation. I attached a patch which fixes the problem for me. Version 1.0 is affected as well.
