[Bug 14730] New: winecfg: adjusted drive mapping lost

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14730

Summary: winecfg: adjusted drive mapping lost
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.2
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have tried to assign a different path to the drive letters "E:" and "Z:". I
committed the desired changes with the button "OK" from the configuration
dialogue. The previous default values were displayed when I returned to the
corresponding tab after the restart for the application "winecfg".
How should it be achieved to keep adjusted settings for the drive mapping
permanently?

Created an attachment (id=15220)

excerpt from a screenshot

I wonder why I could not permanently add a mapping for the drive "E:" by the
Winecfg GUI.
Can any open issues be seen from the file system view?

I can also preset additional links on the command line.
elfring@Sonne:~/.wine/dosdevices> rm d: e: ; ln -s /windows/d d: && ln -s
/windows/E e:

The "E:" is deleted and my game DVD is assigned to "D:" again after the
application "winecfg" was started.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.14 or newer) wine?

Partly, yes. - Now the configuration software (version 1.1.14-1.1) insists to
keep the setting "d: -> /media/CIVILIZATION4-10" while my adjustment "e: ->
/windows/E" is persistent this time.

Is there anything special going on by the mapping from devices like "d:: ->
/dev/sr1" to my desired directory assignment?

Yes. - The configuration software (version 1.1.27-3.1) reassigns the drives "D"
and "E" automatically.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years.
Is this still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine?

Now I have observed that the configuration software from wine 1.7.16-334.1 does
not reset a drive letter in an unexpected way on my system "openSUSE 13.1 /
Tumbleweed". It seems that it tries to remap my DVD drives to different "free"
letters.

It's not clear to me if this is fixed or not.

I would interpret the seen drive remapping as an behaviour which I would expect
in my run time environment.
This can be categorised as fixed if it will be also correctly handled in other
environments.
