[Bug 17876] New: Browse C: should use xdg-open ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17876

Summary: Browse C: should use xdg-open ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The launcher named "Browse C:\ Drive" executes the command
xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c
The command should be
xdg-open ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:
correctly displaying the c: directory wherever it is

I see that Ubuntu 8.10 (Wine 1.0.1) uses ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:
but installing 1.1.x returned it to ~/.wine/drive_c

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/223989
for intricacies, including a good reason for redirecting c:

Wine doesn't provide those links, that's Ubuntu's doing.

Thanks for your lightening fast response ;-)

FOI : are you saying that the c: link contained in ~/.wine/dosdevices/ and then
probably dosdevices/ itself does/do not exist in a plain vanilla Wine?
(easier to notice what exists than what shouldn't :-( )

Knowing that is of utmost importance indeed.

No, they do. The 'Browse C: drive', however, is not part of vanilla wine,
Ubuntu does that.
