[Bug 20612] New: MIME types still added even if winemenubuilder is disabled

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20612

Summary: MIME types still added even if winemenubuilder is
                    disabled
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.32
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Spawned from bug 19182. Setting WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe=d disables
it, and .desktop files are no longer made. MIME types are still integrated, so
I get, e.g., open MPEG files with Windows Media Player after installing wmp
with winetricks.

Unlike .desktop files, which are created as the application makes .lnk files,
MIME types are created from wineboot by launching winemenubuilder.exe from the
registry's RunServices key, see tools/wine.inf.in.

Does it still happen if you first disable winemenubuilder.exe in winecfg?

Yes.

Though I don't do that. The reason I disable MIME integration is because I
install a ton of stuff daily (winetrickstest runs every winetricks verb), and I
don't want a ton of this stuff installed. I disable winemenubuilder.exe in
~/.bashrc, and wine should respect that.

This bug is still present in current git: Even though I added
'WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winmenubuilder.exe=d' to my environment, I still occasionally
get these wine mime types. As a result, KDE wants to open *.inf files (and some
more) with wine instead of Kate, which is *really* annoying. I am cleaning the
packages folder and running "update-mime-database" about every week or two
(maybe there is a relation to the wine releases). I think I could write a
script doing that automatically, but that's not really a solution.

See this:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=109818
The same problem after installing wine on FreeBSD with default configuration.

Is opening 'Internet Explorer' as default image browser with the error popup
'DDE failure' is expected behavior? Why you can't disable it by default? What's
worse, GNOME settings 'Remember this application for "xxx image" files' are
ignored, if you choose different application.

This bug is 1 years old, when it will be FIXED?

Disabling it should work just fine. Most likely the problem is that winetricks
redefines WINEDLLOVERRIDES in some cases. That's a winetricks bug.

I'm not familiar with this bug, but ff this is winetricks bug and this is a bug
report which is 1 years old, what's the progress of fixing it permanently?
What's the real status of this bug apart 'NEW'.
Devs can't reproduce it, nobody wants to fix it, workaround is the permament
fix, too difficult, can't find how to fix it, etc?

Hi,

long time user of Wine here, first time posting.

This "feature" is annoying. Please remove it

Confirming the bug with wine-1.5.9. I'm using only wine, not winetricks.

Random things are regularly installed into ~/.local/share while using wine.

What "random things," and what, exactly, are you running when it happens?

Please provide step-by-step instructions that will reliably reproduce the
problem in plain Wine.

Does the bug still occur with wine-5.0-rc2?
