Bug ID: 45164
           Summary: Suggestion: directory ownership & mapping
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.0
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winelib
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: la_iscla@mac.com
      Distribution: ---
In winecfg, the directories for mapping drives as well as the "Folders" (My
Pictures, etc.) are static paths.
This makes multi-user mode impractical, i.e. imagine you want to run Ms Office,
then each user on a host would have to install its own wine and install Ms
Office inside.
Why not support relative paths/tilde-based paths ?
Also, while understandable, the restriction to own the wine directory may need
to be reviewed. You might want to dissociate the user registry from that
directory and enable some dissociation.
