[Bug 16279] New: Menu shortcuts are created in the wrong place and desktop shortcuts are missing

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16279

Summary: Menu shortcuts are created in the wrong place and
                    desktop shortcuts are missing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.9
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have Fedora 10 x86_64 with wine 1.1.9. When I install an app, main menu
entries are created in "Misc" instead of "Wine\Programs" and on the desktop
only .lnk files are created, not .desktop ones. My locale is ru_RU.UTF-8

Tested so far with QIP and Steam. Holds true for both.

Shortcuts for CNC3 and RA3 appear in my "Other" menu under Ubuntu 8.10.

Not sure if this is the same though as the .desktop files are created on the
desktop (along with .lnk - bug open for that), but nothing is created in the
Wine menu, where it should be.

Please test with the latest version of Wine, this used to be a problem in
earlier versions but I fixed it.

I don't have this problem anymore in 1.1.15. Have you tried clean install?

Ken are you using the Ubuntu packages?  Do you have an applications->wine
folder at all?  Have you ever manually edited the menu?

What does ls /home/scott/.local/share/desktop-directories/  give you?  If those
files got corrupted somehow then there would still be an issue even after a
"clean" install.

Hi Scott,

(In reply to comment #9)
> Ken are you using the Ubuntu packages?

I'm still on Ubuntu 8.10 but using the WineHQ repos, so I've just tested again
on 1.1.25.
> Do you have an applications->wine
> folder at all?

Yep, that's there.  Other shortcuts have been created ok.
> Have you ever manually edited the menu?

Oh yes, all the time.
> What does ls /home/scott/.local/share/desktop-directories/  give you?  If those
> files got corrupted somehow then there would still be an issue even after a

Loads of shortcuts I didn't know existed.  Deleted them and tried again.
The correct shortcuts are created in
/home/test/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs but they are not shown in
Applications-->Wine, and still appear in "Other".  The .desktop files are also
recreated in /home/test/.local/share/desktop-directories/.

I can't see how this is a Wine bug, as it seems to be doing what it is supposed
to, and it's likely to be something in Ubuntu or the WM.

Would anyone be able to confirm one way or another?

Menus don't come from ~/.local/share/desktop-directories. Files under
~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-*.menu link in
~/.local/share/desktop-directories/* and .desktop files from
~/.local/share/applications/wine/*. Check all those exist.

Also post the value of your ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} environment variable, if any.

If all of those seem ok, please find some app you know install these broken
menus, and post the output of:
WINEDEBUG="+menubuilder" wine <installer.exe>

What's the locale set to?

What desktop environment is this?

They do.  I've emptied them of all files and started from scratch.

Following install, the shortcuts appear under Applications-->Other, not
Applications-->Wine-->Programs.

That looks okay. I'd have the check the contents of the .menu and .directory
files to make sure it's not a Wine bug, but a download of the 1.8 GB demo is
not going to happen. Can you please attach those instead?

All attached.
Also attached a very suspect looking file that I found at
/home/test/.config/menus/applications.menu

OK, I cleared all the shortcuts out of /home/test/.local/share/applications,
then I installed WinZip 12.1 (it doesn't actually matter what I choose to
install) and /home/test/.local/share/applications then looks like this:

Now, if you look at the attached screenshots, this creates shortcuts in
Applications-->Other.  I don't think they should be there somehow.

Confirming.

The ampersand (&) is not valid in XML documents and needs to be escaped (into
&). We don't do any escaping in winemenubuilder.

A few other characters like <, >, and " would also need escaping.
