Summary: Can't export virtual desktop registry settings Product: Wine Version: 1.1.15 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com
Noticed a weird bug when setting up daily winetest. I wanted to test in a virtual desktop, but using:
wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x768 program.exe
is impractical for obvious reasons. So I decided to use the registry key in the registry. I enabled it in winecfg and used regedit to export the key, then the same to import it each time. Regedit's .reg file is: ------- REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer]
"Desktop"="Default"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops]
"Default"="800x600"
-------
looks fine. But importing that fails. Curious, I ran diff on the .wine and found that apparently regedit isn't exporting the full key: ------- REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer]
"Desktop"="Default"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops] 1234567890
"Default"="800x600"
-------
Notice the timestamp. I suppose it's a regedit bug, but do we actually need that timestamp? Looking at the diff more, seems it's also used in: +[Software\Wine\Fonts] 1235641812 -[Software\Wine\Fonts\External Fonts] 1235641855 +[Software\Wine\Fonts\External Fonts] 1235641812
Does that really need to change each time winecfg is ran?
Importing the registry key allows the virtual desktop to work fine.

--- Comment #1 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org 2009-02-26 04:04:29 --- The Wine internal registry and regedit export files are not in the same format. The timestamp is only in the internal registry, it can't be exported or imported.
What is the actual failure?

What I was doing originally (a few days ago): $ winecfg #enable virtual desktop $ regedit #export registry key to foo.reg $ rm -rf ~/.wine $ wineboot $ regedit foo.reg $ wine notepad # should be in a virtual desktop, but isn't.
wasn't working, but when I retested just now to verify the steps, seems to work. Looking at the .reg files I had, seems that it must be exported from [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer]
and not [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops]
That's what I get for reporting bugs at 4AM...sigh. Sorry for the noise.
