What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new … [View More]

winspool: ERROR_INVALID_NAME in GetDefaultPrinter() ?
by Detlef Riekenberg 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

The status of the wintab dll
by Robert North 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think after the 10 or more patches to the Wintab dll that I submitted last month, I should say something about it's status... And of course thank Alexandre for applying those patches. P.S. I won't be available from the 15th for about a week or so. So, if you have any questions, I'm afraid you might have to be patient. Hope this is of interest to someone -Rob. ******Applications: Current status*********** ***In Painter 5 *Cursor pressure … [View More]works. (Therefore is usable by most) *Cursor orientation is a little odd: The orientation maths needs to be re-done. *No eraser. Haven't yet cracked what enables the eraser. *Doesn't work in desktop mode: Need to map to desktop coordinates. *Repeats windows bugs where cursor looses pressure/orientation info almost bug for bug (Is this a feature? ;-) *Cannot detect pressure/orientation int the "Brush Tracking" window: The tablet context is attached to the main window, so no events get to the popup, even if they overlap. This is not how windows wintab functions. ***In Photoshop 6. *Can only get tablet data in desktop mode: This is because the tablet context is attached to the desktop. Which generates/receives no wine events outside desktop mode. * Eraser and pen pressure working. *But* to get them working, you must have 3 XInput devices listed in your XF86Config file, They need to be the last entries in the "ServerLayout" section and the following order: eraser, tablet mouse. This is a far from ideal way of specifying the devices Wintab should use :-/ I'll document this if someone can point me to a good place to put the docs. *******To Do************* 1. Look at X11 errors. There appear to be some errors that deny some users the ability to access Wintab enabled apps. (I think I know how to fix this) 2. Improve orientation data. Orientation comes in as X-Y coords (Implicit Z), and has to leave as spherical coords. This calculation needs to be re-done. 3. When tablet context is on top, let it read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. (This simulates the fact that the context is usually designed to cover the whole screen) 4. When tablet context is attached to desktop, read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. 5. Tests ~ --My current philosophy on tests is... ~ Use Photoshop & Painter, any formal tests ~ can be written if anyone else gets involved in patching Wintab, to avoid regressions, and conflict. **********Long term to do (Anyone interested?):********* There's a lot of work that could be done here, but what gets done and who does it probably depends upon whether anyone finds an app that needs these features. I'd love to implement these, but realistically, I don't foresee doing this unless someone hires me to do so ;) 1. Improve configuration of wintab. Wintab could probably do with some information entered into the config file, to avoid the user having to hack their Xfree86cfg file. 2. Handle Z-Order of context properly. This entails *sharing Z-Order between apps. *Working out exactly what role windows have in determining tablet context z-orders. *Allow tablet contexts that don't cover the whole screen/tablet. *Handle inter-application clipping of tablet contexts *Allow all application's windows to receive tablet events when tablet context is on top 3. Implement non-system tablet contexts (Where system cursor not moved by pen or mouse) 4. Unicodify 5. Implement various wintab extensions. 6. Implement wintab manager functions. 7. Tests. *********Unknowns********* 1. How are wintab contexts are raised lowered? Contexts have their own z-order independent of windows, and their own viewport concept, based upon the tablet's coordinate system, not that of the OS. It appears that entering, or clicking on the window the tablet context is attached to will raise/lower the context. But I haven't done much testing on this. In particular, what happens if more than one app request their tablet context is attached to the desktop? 2. How Painter detects the eraser. Have 3 possibilities i. Windows can detect an eraser, and sends specific messages. (I'm sure I've seen this, but can't work out where!) ii. Only works if tablet and cursors are named correctly. (Probably linked to wacom tablets only). iii. I've missed something 3.

Font issue - workaround found
by Timm 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

My one win app that makes me a devotee of WINE is TablEdit (demo at www.tabledit.com/download/tabled32.exe) has a custom font , tef260.ttf, that has failed to display since somewhere after ver 9.6. The program installs the font into c:\windows\font, but can not display it within the program, instead displaying for the most part, empty squares. I tried putting/removing tef260.ttf into /usr/local/share/wine/fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, and the wine windows/fonts directories in all … [View More]

re: Wine-wiki broken by design
by Dan Kegel 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Maybe the wine wiki could publish a machine-readable sitemap; see http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html That would put less load on the server than letting Yahoo and Google crawl the wiki themselves. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

03 Nov '06

I think the new 'installer' keyword is on every bug that needs it now. http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?product=Wine&keywords_type=allwords&keyw… shows 94 downloadable apps with keyword 'installer'. Here's a breakdown by component: 24 wine-misc 17 wine-ole 15 wine-msi 7 wine-binary 6 wine-net 4 wine-x11 4 wine-msxml 3 wine-programs 3 wine-kernel 2 wine-user 2 wine-setupapi 2 wine-richedit 1 wine-shdocvw … [View More]

compiling wine for amd64 on ubuntu dapper 6.06
by Gerald Britton 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

Hi -- I'm trying to get wine going on my ubuntu dapper installation on an amd 64 box. I have followed the wiki instructions in http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit for ubuntu and rechecked my work. Two things go wrong: 1. /configure can't find opengl, and produces these messages: configure: WARNING: Wine will be build without OpenGL or Direct3D support configure: WARNING: because something is wrong with the OpenGL setup: configure: WARNING: No OpenGL library found on this system. 2. make … [View More]

Appdb as application regression finder
by Dan Kegel 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

The appdb has a "browse by ratings" page, e.g. you can see all apps that have at least one Gold-rated version at http://appdb.winehq.org/browse_by_rating.php?sRating=Gold This can serve as a kind of poor man's application regression finder; look at each app on that page, and look for apps whose latest version is rated lower than gold. For instance, WinZip is listed on the Gold page. WinZip 9 is indeed rated gold, but winzip 10 is only silver. Likesize, Sametime Connect has an old version … [View More]
