Hello to all developers of wine. My name is Sergio R. da Silva, and I sent some suggestions to improve the wine. First of all I apologize for any errors in spelling, because I am Brazilian and I do not know very well and I write in English using Google Translator to send these suggestions and also send the wrong address, if possible please move to the correct department or send me an email where I send my suggestions. Here are my suggestions:
- I suggest that in the file. Conf of wine is possible to configure other
extensions without the DLL, such as OCX, EXE, CAB, etc.. or create a tab to add these extensions, this flap could be close to the tab "Libraries" and could be called "Extensions" which add extensions without which DLL that windows USA, such as. CAB,. ini (boot.ini). bat (autoexec.bat). msc (gpedit.msc). config,. sys ( pagefile.sys, etc.). This is my first suggestion will soon send more. PS: If you have any questions about my suggestion is just send me an email to sergiordasilva17@gmail.com
Sergio,
If you look closely at the list of DLL overrides you will see some files that have an explicit extension (.cpl, .ocx, .acm). Moreover, any file name can be entered manually if needed, including .exe or .sys or whatever is required.
Only files that can be loaded (have ELF or PE structure) make sense in overrides so it doesn't make sense to add any .ini, .cab, .msi, .bat, .cmd or similar (including pagefile.sys which is not a driver - just happens that it has that name).
Are you trying to find a way to blacklist arbitrary data files? Hide them from directory listing or file operations? This is a confusion generating and dangerous path.
Regards,
Paul
