Hi,
I'm trying to find some elegant method to access registry keys added
during one WINE session, i.e. without restarting WINE.
Test case description:
1. Open WINE session
wineconsole --backend=user cmd
2. During session, insert some new registry key
regedit new-entry.reg
3. Try to access the new registry entry from bash
cat ~/.wine/system.reg |grep AutoHotkey
(fails)
4. Close WINE session
I've found there was at times an option to save registry periodically,
but this can't help me here.
This problem can be solved in two ways, both of them can be helpful:
a) Create small program to force sync of registry in memory with
registry files - 'wineflushregistry'.
b) Enhance regedit to be able to output to STDOUT. By default registry
search output is done to a specified file. It can be redirected to
STDERR, though. (tested on 0.9.29, 0.9.33)
Enhancing regedit
-----------------
regedit /es
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\AutoHotkey.exe"
which will be similar to (non-functional)
regedit /e /dev/stdout
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\AutoHotkey.exe"
