Bug ID: 55643 Summary: LTSpice: wine extra slow with "update components" function Product: Wine Version: 8.15 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: scallegari@arces.unibo.it Distribution: ---
LTSpice is a windows application that traditionally has been very friendly to Wine (to the point that Wine was officially indicated as the way to run the app in linux). It is also free (in the no cost sense) so that it is easy to download it in order to test with wine. See https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice....
Recent versions of LTSpice (LTSpice XVII) offer the possibility to update the "library of components" for the application via its Tools->Update Components menu entry.
Unfortunately in wine the operation is extra slow.
The operation involves downloading many files from the developer site, and I suspect that the slowness may come from the fact that on every file wine tries to do something, fails and complains that "0288:fixme:urlmon:InternetBindInfo_GetBindString not supported string type 20".
