[Bug 18083] New: Metatrader: doesn't respect chart sorting/sequency when restarted

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18083

Summary: Metatrader: doesn't respect chart sorting/sequency when
                    restarted
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When you have more than one chart opened and ordered in sequence (for example:
EURUSD H1, EURUSD H4, EURUSD D1, EURUSD W1... and so on) if you close and
restart Metatrader the chart order will be all messed up (for example EURUSD W1
before EURUSD H1 and so on).

So chart layout isn't save or restored properly. Is this Metatrader available
somewhere?

Hello Nikolay,
metatrader is available here:

http://www.metatrader4.com/files/mt4setup.exe

It's already on wine AppDB:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2893

I already added this bug to the wine AppDB Metatrader bug list.

Thank you.

Regards,
Giorgio.

Metatrader chart sequence before closing the application

This is a desktop snapshot showing Metatrader (and its chart sequence) before
closing it down.

This is a desktop snapshot showing Metatrader (and its chart sequence) after
closing it down and restarted it up.
As you can see the chart sequence is totally different compared to before.

I see. Try to figure out where it stores this data at least: is it registry or
some internal configs.
Then you could compare this data after closing app with the same layout on
native and wine. Then it'll possible to localize a problem: if data differs
then bug is in saving configs, else - in restoring layout.

Here's a hint: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9314

Hi,
I think I found where MT4 saves his layouts and sequences:

/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Programmi/MetaTrader 4/profiles/profilename

where:
username=your linux username
profilename=your current profile (File -> Profile -> profilename)

There you can see a number of files named "chart01.chr, chart02.chr,
chart03.chr ..." and so on.
They are simple text files where are saved all the parameters of a sigle chart,
one file per chart.
After reading all those files I found that the sequence sits on the
"name/number" of the file. 
For example, if you put a chart on the first left position that chart/file is
named chart01.chr. As you can guess chart02.chr its for the second chart and so
on.
So I understand that the right sequence of charts is correctly saved when you
close down metatrader but then its not loaded when you open the application.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Giorgio.

where the chart order is messed up after restarting Metatrader

I'm using Wine 1.6.2 and MetaTrader 4 (build 625) & experiencing the order of
the charts being shuffled each time MT4 is launched.
