Browse Drive C

Post by hometech »

I have this problem.
I've installed wine on Kubuntu8.10 64bit and works well.
When i upgrade to KDE 4.2 and i try to use the command 'Browse drive C' of wine i get an error.
It seem to be wrong the destinaton folder.
the program try to open drive c in /home/documents/.wine that is not correct.
in which way can i modify the address for this command.
Sorry for my bad english.

its in "/usr/share/applications"
type that:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/applications
sudo gedit "Browse C:\ Drive"
the Exec-Line should be "Exec=xdg-open .wine/dosdevices/c:"

Under Gnome it does not work at all. People promised a workaround in Wine-1.1.9 but still nothing.

Hello
I have the same trouble as hometech.
I've tried the above with no success .. is it correct ? saw another post that mentioned something else(can't find it now). Still get the "File/folder does not exist"
Won't work anyway.

Pat

PS; I run 1.1.17 Kubuntu 8.10 KDE 4.2 .. and as hometech I didn't notice anything before KDE 4.2

Shouldn't it be "xdg-open $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/c:" ?

The problem isn't in wine but the way your distribution created the menu item.

cheers for the reply mate.
Yea, looks like what I saw but couldn't find. I'll try that.

Another question, shouldn't the path to the file be (the sudo gedit "Browse C:\ Drive" line)


EDIT; fixed it, for anyone else here's what I did...(kate = gedit)

Code: Select all

sudo kate /usr/share/applications/wine-browsedrive.desktop
