Summary: a safe directory/paths setting? Product: Wine Version: 1.1.3 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: spam@femail.mine.nu
I would like a way to configure wine to only run a .exe if it's within a list of "safe" paths, so that I don't have to worry about accidentally running something nasty (like an e-mail virus that I extracted to get a better look at).
I've seen WINE as the default file association for .exe files in at least KDE and Gnome, so an accidental double-click is possible. It isn't really wine's fault, but wine seems the surest place to counter the problem and this is probably pretty easily to implement.
