Summary: Use the system settings for default User and Organization field Product: Wine Version: 1.1.23 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: integration Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org
Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/384990
If you install software in Wine that needs a User and Organization, you'll see these strings set as the default:
Change preferred owner in ~/.wine/system.reg
Change preferred organization in ~/.wine/system.reg
Whenever possible, we should be using the system settings here - System->Preferences->About Me (on Gnome at least) contains a great default for owner and organization

--- Comment #2 from endolith@gmail.com 2009-10-04 15:42:32 --- 1. Looks like the Gnome data is actually stored in an entry in Evolution's addressbook(?)
~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/
2. This would need to work in KDE and other desktops. It would be best if there were an XDG database for this instead? 3. The Wine configuration fields should probably not be in the About tab. I don't think this is intuitive, since "About" is usually used for information, not settings. 4. Either way, the simplest thing that can be changed is to set the default empty string to tell the user the optimal place to set this information (like "Change owner in Wine Configuration About tab").

--- Comment #4 from butraxz@gmail.com 2012-05-21 14:31:34 CDT --- This bug has not been updated for three years. Is this still an issue i current (1.5.4) or newer wine ? You may also close this as abandoned if you feel that that this is issue is no longer relevant to you.

--- Comment #5 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- The fields are just blank now (which is an improvement), but still an issue.
