Feature changed by: Richard Brown (RBrownSUSE) Feature #308314, revision 33 Title: better wine integration - openSUSE Distribution: New + openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Sharique Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There are times we need to use windows applications. Wine applications does not integrate well with with rest of desktop. There is no menu entry for wine settings. Also there should be menu for reboot wine. Proper icons for win apps. - done better desktop shortcuts creation for kde and gnome. Menu for wine notepad, command prompt and other provided utilities by wine.- done Also integration with mono for running .Net application ( because some win .net apps uses win librearies.) - wine mono provides some functionality I use wine mostly for Heidisql (Mysql admin tool) and some time for games. For menu I think menu structure should be like this KDE/Gnome menu>Applications>Wine>(From here it should be similar to All programs menu of win xp) - done Another issue that I found is that uninstalled win app did not removed from the Menu. Virtual cd drive support - very useful for playing windows games better integration with kde/gnome themes. Better file browser - it must have 'My computer' functionality. Discussion: #1: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) (2009-11-07 16:46:37) I agree that wine couldn't be integrated well enough, however I see program icons of wine programs in the KDE start menu. exe programs are automatically started in wine when clicking on them. But apart from that, what other integrations would you like to see? #2: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) (2009-11-23 04:04:55) First, winecfg  in Wine menu :) Assign to open exe with wine (if it is not already realised) #3: Nassim Salem (nsalem) (2009-12-03 06:56:49) Also wine is not installed by default.  A new linux user may want to run a Windows exe.  Maybe opensuse can detect that a user is trying a run a Windows exe and prompt the user to install wine along with a brief description of what wine is and will do. #4: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) (2010-01-03 04:33:55) Shouldn't these be filed with Wine project since it already creates menu items and such? Simply add one for config? #5: Alexander Orlovskyy (aorlovskyy) (2010-06-01 17:50:01) Great idea!   #6: Alexander Orlovskyy (aorlovskyy) (2010-06-02 12:12:29) We need additional feature, like profiles for different windows applications. e.g: Games: Civilization IV, Starcraft Multimedia application: Virtualdubmod #10: Sławomir Lach (lachu) (2011-02-13 18:28:32) (reply to #6) Yes. I think, that we need PlayOnLinux or Vineyard solution integrated. We need also script to detect application on media like CDs, when user tries to run exe file from removable media and suggest to run Vineyard/PlayOnLinux installer instead. #7: Alexander Orlovskyy (aorlovskyy) (2010-06-07 15:16:38) So, who is working on wine feature? #8: Sławomir Lach (lachu) (2010-06-30 12:49:48) We need to suggest of using native Windows DLL if Windows is installed on other patition. Not all native DLLs should been used, but only this, which doesn't provide problems. Also, once Windows parition is removed/unreadable we should show message at startup, that Wine won't use native dlls and some applications could been broken. #9: Sławomir Lach (lachu) (2010-06-30 12:51:35) (reply to #8) This idea will make Wine developers work more noise, because more bugs report will been created by users using native dlls, but much more programs we can run this way. #11: Konstantinos Koudaras (warlordfff) (2011-02-22 21:56:40) I proposed to look at this idea into GSOC ideas wiki page (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2011_Ideas) .
