Program manager

Post by mixi »

Hey
First of all, great project.
Second, I was wondering if there is a program in the wine project,
where it is possible to make different setups for the programs installed.

Let me explain:
I have Picasa installed, I also have C&C 3 installed,
now C&C 3 I want to run in window mode and Picasa I don't want to run in window mode.
Is it possible to make different setups for them?
Or do I have to make a program/script myself?

Cheers from Denmark

It's possible to change some settings on a per app basis, but window
mode isn't one of them.

I'd say make 2 wine prefixes, i.e.:
~/.wine-cc3
~/.wine-picasa

That way each can have it's own 'c drive', settings, etc.
