Sugestion to Wine

[Sérgio R. da Silva]

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:
1) 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
[e-mail]

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
