unixfs registered by default now in cvs

[Michael Jung]

Hi,

With the current CVS version, the unixfs shell namespace extension is now 
registered by default at the desktop. So if you do a 'regsvr32 shell32' you 
will see the unix filesystem in the file dialogs. It's probably still quite 
buggy though. It would be cool if we could get the biggest problems sorted 
out before the next release. So if you have an application, which doesn't 
work due to unixfs, please report to wine-devel.

If you don't want to use unixfs, because you don't like it or because it 
totally breaks your setup, you can delete the following registry-key and you 
should be back to the old behaviour:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Namespace\ 
{9D20AAE8-0625-44B0-9CA7-71889C2254D9}

This will also help you to figure out if a problem is due to unixfs. If you do 
'regsvr32 shell32' again, the key will be re-created.

This is fantastic! Way to go Michael, you've nailed an important
integration issue. BTW, if it is registered by default, why do we 
need to 'regsvr32 shell32'?

Thanks. If you start without a .wine directory, you won't need the 'regsvr32 
shell32'. So for a fresh install, you will end up with unixfs. But if you 
already have a '.wine' directory and want unixfs to be registered, you'll 
have to do it by hand.

Does this mean there's no longer a need to map a Z: drive to /?
