[Bug 32780] New: Directories are not created

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32780

Bug #: 32780
           Summary: Directories are not created
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.22
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

If the local user directory exists (in my case
/home/sworddragon/.wine/drive_c/users/sworddragon) before winecfg was started
the first time Wine creates only the directory Desktop if it is missing but not
the other directories like "Application Data" and Temp.

Does it make sense for the directory to exist while creating a new prefix? I
guess you need to create a new prefix in an empty directory and then move your
files back.

It depends on the usage. It is just important to decide if Wine wants to catch
such cases. For example the directories could be removed afterwards by
accident. In this case it would be useful if Wine creates the missing
directories and the default symlinks.

Accidental versus intentional removal is hard to determine. I don't think we
want to support such configurations.
