Bug ID: 41490
Summary: Stop recreating/resetting symlinks on each update (eg
"drive_c/users/[user]/My Documents")
Product: Wine
Version: 1.9.20
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: cey.tarik at gmail.com
Distribution: ---
Every time after updating wine through my distro's (Arch) repository, wine will
"update the configurations". This also means that wine will reset the symlinks
in the user's folder (drive_c/users/[username]). For example, "My Documents".
I do not want wine apps to pollute my home folder (this is were "My Documents"
and other symlinks usually point to). And i want all my WINEPREFIXEs to use a
common "My Documents" folder, which is not ~/ .
That's fine, so i just symlink "My Documents" to somewhere else.
But after each update Wine deletes my symlink and creates it's own symlink to
~/ again.
Why? Is that really necessary? This seems trivial to fix, so unless there is
some exotic issue preventing this to be changed, i really do not understands
why this has to happen every time.
