wine creates weird pref file for mac program

Post by daniel smith »

i recently installed wine and now find that with a regular mac program (a
music program called sing&see) it somehow gloms onto it and screws it up so
it opens but won't do anything--and there is a "wine" menu item next to the
regular sing&see menu. i've uninstalled wine as per the directions in the
wiki. but it keeps somehow still recreating a pref file in the library
called org.kronenberg.WineBottler_SingandSee_Student.plist every time i
reinstall the program.

i'm actually not sure how this posting works--will responses get sent to me
automatically? i assume you can see my email adress, which is, just in
case, dss1209 at gee mail. i've tried subscribing to the forum but
cannot--it asks me to answer a text confirmation question that does not
appear on the screen!

okay, thanks very much in advance for your help, whoever you are!

WineBottler is not supported here; this forum is for plain Wine only.

WineBottler isn't supported here as said, but you might want to ask the Sing&See people because their "Mac version" is really just a WineBottler app with the Windows version... so you can get rid of Wine all you want, but Sing&See puts it back on.
