Summary: provide support for raw text editing of registry files
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.4
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: bluedzins at wp.pl
Well, wine lives in linux environment so it is quite natural if registry files
(wine files) would be editable in unix manner -- grep, diff, patch, sed, etc.
Unix advantage (one of many) was and is batch text processing. Adding in the
middle special GUI tool just for editing stops any automatic processing.
Besides either you underpower your own program (regedit) comparing to existing
unix tools or reinvent wheel again.
So, if registry files have to be written in utf8, non-utf, raw unicode, well,
in short it does not matter really -- the wish is, please establish any
encoding necessary for raw text editing, so common-sense operations like
(example) removing entire lines till empty line would be guaranteed to work.
