Bug ID: 55643
           Summary: LTSpice: wine extra slow with "update components"
                    function
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.15
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

LTSpice is a windows application that traditionally has been very friendly to
Wine (to the point that Wine was officially indicated as the way to run the app
in linux). It is also free (in the no cost sense) so that it is easy to
download it in order to test with wine. See
https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice....

Recent versions of LTSpice (LTSpice XVII) offer the possibility to update the
"library of components" for the application via its Tools->Update Components
menu entry.

Unfortunately in wine the operation is extra slow.

The operation involves downloading many files from the developer site, and I
suspect that the slowness may come from the fact that on every file wine tries
to do something, fails and complains that
"0288:fixme:urlmon:InternetBindInfo_GetBindString not supported string type
20".

--- Comment #1 from Fabian Maurer  ---
Tested with https://ltspice.analog.com/software/LTspice64.exe and saw no
differences, but the menu wasn't called "Update Components"

For https://ltspice.analog.com/software/LTspice64.msi I didn't see any
difference either, "Update Components" takes about as long on Wine as it does
on Windows.

Is this still an issue?

Re-tested and no, not an issue anymore. But it has been extra slow for some
time. Cannot say whether the resolution is due to something that has changed in
ltspice or in wine in the meantime, maybe the former.
