           Summary: Suggestion: make WordPad available as a native Linux?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.0.3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

Hello everybody,

Would it be possible to make WordPad available as a native Linux program? I
mean Wordpad as it comes with Wine.

Here's why:

Sometimes I want to make a text document with some formatting, but with a
regular text editor I can only use plain text. I could use Libre Office, but I
find it too heavy for simple tasks.

When I still used Windows I did a lot with WordPad, but it's not available for
Linux. I've been searching for an editor for Linux that can do Rich Text
Format, but I didn't find what I was looking for. There are a few editors out
there, but they crash, they don't do RTF, or they don't have the functionality
that I need, 

WordPad, as it comes with Wine, does exactly what I'm looking for. To use it
however, it needs to be started within Wine, and to do that each time I want to
edit an RTF file isn't practical.

Since WordPad already comes with Wine, is it possible to make it available as a
native Linux program?

Maybe call it WinePad? ;-)
