[Bug 51230] winecfg: Graphics tab - Per application settings don't work

Hello,

I tested per-application virtual desktop with different sizes with wine 6.17
and it works like you described, but with a limitation.

The per-application VD settings are recognized only if the full path is
provided.

I tested with:
- VD disabled globally;
- 800x600 VD for iexplore.exe (from C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer);
- 1024x768 VD for winecfg.exe (from C:\\Windows\\System32);
- 1200x900 VD for notepad.exe (from C:\\Windows);
(I didn't test the other settings)
Those settings were set from the winecfg GUI.

Then I launched those, each in a different terminal, from the .\drive_c of the
prefix:
wine iexplore.exe → doesn't use VD
winecfg → doesn't use VD
wine notepad → doesn't use VD

So I thought of a possible path matching issue, so I tried:
wine C:\\Program\ Files\\Internet\ Explorer\\iexplore.exe → use 800x600 VD
wine C:\\Windows\\System32\\winecfg.exe → use 1024x768 VD
wine C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe → use 1200x900 VD

I also tried with unix-style path with identical result.

Then, I cd'ed each terminal in the executable directories and ran:
wine iexplore.exe → use 800x600 VD
wine winecfg.exe → use 1024x768 VD
wine notepad.exe → use 1200x900 VD

So, the path is not required when in the right directory.

Then I tried the shorter commands:
wine iexplore → doesn't use VD
winecfg → use 1024x768 VD
wine notepad → doesn't use VD

So there is a problem when translating the path/name from the command-line to
the one that would match the registry key. the winecfg command seems to be
treated specially, as it behaves like wine winecfg.exe.

I guess the /desktop option doesn't work for the same reason.

Now I see in the commit diff that the logic that added ".exe" to a filename
without '.' in get_image_path() was removed from ntdll/env.c. That may explain
why 'wine whatever' doesn't match 'whatever.exe' since that commit.

Regards.
