           Summary: wineprefixcreate creates folder "My Video" instead of
                    "My Videos"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.49.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-tools
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: bammzilla at gabriana.com


I have a symlink from my real My Documents folder (in another drive, accesible
from both Windows and Linux) into my Home folder. Hence Wine maps "My
Documents" to "~/My Documents" which is great.

My annoyance is that creating a new wine bottle using either wineprefixcreate
or winecfg always creates a new empty folder called "My Video" inside my My
Documents folder, even though I already have a folder called "My Videos" (note
the "s").

It appears to be a typo somewhere in the code, as Crossover Linux 6.2 Trial
Version correctly recognizes my "My Videos" folder.

Opening winecfg, under Desktop Integration, we can see:

Shell Folder   Links to
Desktop        /home/username/Desktop
My Documents   /home/username/My Documents
My Pictures    /home/username/My Documents/My Pictures
My Music       /home/username/My Documents/My Music
My Video       /home/username/My Documents/My Video

On the other hand, Crossover's winecfg correctly lists the following:

Shell Folder   Links to
Desktop        /home/username/Desktop
My Documents   /home/username/My Documents
My Pictures    /home/username/My Documents/My Pictures
My Music       /home/username/My Documents/My Music
My Videos      /home/username/My Documents/My Videos

I know I can change the target folder from the GUI, but it would be better if
wineprefixcreate does it correctly from the start.

Although I consider this a minor bug, this is a bit of an annoyance for me
because I like installing new programs into separate wine bottles, and I
therefore use winecfg and wineprefixcreate on a regular basis.
