[Bug 15028] New: a safe directory/paths setting?

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15028

Summary: a safe directory/paths setting?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I would like a way to configure wine to only run a .exe if it's within a list
of "safe" paths, so that I don't have to worry about accidentally running
something nasty (like an e-mail virus that I extracted to get a better look
at).

I've seen WINE as the default file association for .exe files in at least KDE
and Gnome, so an accidental double-click is possible. It isn't really wine's
fault, but wine seems the surest place to counter the problem and this is
probably pretty easily to implement.

Map only areas you want Wine to have access to. However that still won't
guarantee anything. Besides all files you can access Wine can access one way or
the other. That means whatever program running under Wine will be able to do
the same.

So in other words this is pointless and won't work. Closing as won't fix.
