/.wine/drive_c" is not supported.

[SnakeHips]

Hi ,i'm getting stuck with this one and i've googled around but cant find a fix.

notes:
xubuntu 8.04 beta 64bit
wine ver: 0.9.60 (same prob in 0.9.59)

from menu......apps/wine/browse C drive i get the error
/.wine/drive_c" is not supported.

from terminal it works fine.

Any ideas anyone?

[SnakeHips]

anyone?

I've tried with the following paths
..~/.wine/drive_c
and
/home/pete/.wine/drive_c

anyone have this working in xfce desktop ?

I'm not exactly certain what you're trying to accomplish. You're trying to launch winefile from the XFCE menu?

Also, what are you using for sys stats?

[gsmanners]

By default, Xubuntu includes the Gnome system menu in the Xfce menu, but it may be better to edit the menu with just the stuff you want in it (using Xfce4-MenuEditor and Appfinder).

Yes it's "winefile" and launches from terminal (see screenshot) but not from the default launcher in the menu? I'm sure its a simple thing but i cant fix it lol

For sys stats i think you mean my "conky" on the right in the screenshot? search the forum threads its a great little program and fully customisable.

...xfce menu-editor = pants

[gsmanners]

Pants? The menu editor works better than the bookmarks in Thunar. Just drag and drop stuff where you want it in the editor.

[SnakeHips]

Yes i think its pants! - say you want to edit the existing default menu structure in xfce ,you would think that you could do that within a menu-editor easily right? aka the menu-editor in gnome.

- it just does'nt do what it says on the tin!

I should add that i really like the look n feel of xfce v gnome and naturally i want to get it all working (if i can)

from xfce appfinder the launcher (see screenshot) opens with the following command?

xdg-open~/.wine/drive_c

and here's the wine.desktop entry in /usr/share/app-install/desktop

Whats puzzling me is (from terminal) i can navigate to the 'C' drive and run "winefile" which i cannot from the wine launcher in xfce - nor can i edit it!

[lswest]

hmm, there should be a space between xdg-open and the path (if it's not just a typo), otherwise, if you're planning on launching just an app, change it to

wine [path to launcher]

Oh, and try to see if you can open any other folder from the menu, might be some problem with the command used to open it. (i don't use xfce)

Hmmmm ,i tried without the space in terminal and it produces the same result as from the menu launcher (see screenshot). So.....the command dont work but if i type "winefile" it does ?!???

[SnakeHips]

...and prefixed with "wine" comes up with the same. in a nutshell it cant *see* the 'c' drive ??
