force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Hello!
Linux Mint 20 x64 Cinnamon
wine-5.13 (Staging)
I successfully installed Hobbyware Pattern Maker for Cross Stitch.
Inside this program, there is this setting that appears in inches.
I know this software for years and it does not have any setting to choose from metric or imperial.
In Windows, this software borrows Windows' settings as you can see here:
Or:
I set my Mint this way:
Language: English (Canada) (someone on another forum told me Canada uses metric system)
Region: Romania
Time format: Romania
Could you please help me to have this software using metric and not inches?

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Does Pattern Maker get it when you change the registry?
Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
Change the iMeasure value (0 = Metric, 1 = U.S)
Code: Select all
wine regedit
Change the iMeasure value (0 = Metric, 1 = U.S)
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Hi, thank you replying, but there was already 0 value... I even changed it to 1 and then changed it back to 0 but that did not changed the metric display in my software.jkfloris wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 5:52 am Does Pattern Maker get it when you change the registry?Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\InternationalCode: Select all

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Where in the program can I find this option? Or does it happen throughout the program?Inside this program, there is this setting that appears in inches.
As in for example: File → Preferences → Advanced
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
In Pattern Maker for Cross Stitch having an project open, you click Palette - Usage Summary - Skein information - and there you see the „inches”.Where in the program can I find this option? Or does it happen throughout the program?
As in for example: File → Preferences → Advanced
I repeat, there is NO WHERE in the program you can set inches or metric. In Windows it borrows the Windows settings as shown in my previous posts.
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Does anyone have another suggestion?
I could not solve this...

The free Pattern Maker Viewer has the same issue. (Open a pattern → View → Information)

Please share the bug number here. If someone has the same problem in the future, all information is easy to find.
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Of course, here it is:

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
To get the console log run:
If the log is to big you could compress it.
Code: Select all
cd /path/to/Pattern Maker for cross stitch/program_v4
WINEDEBUG=+nls wine pmaker.exe >> pmaker_nls.log 2>&1
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Where do I do wrong?
Code: Select all
cd /home/oks/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/HobbyWare/Pattern Maker for cross stitch/program_v4
bash: cd: too many arguments
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
If that's the actual path you can put it in quotes: cd "blah blah"
Alternatively your shell most likely has tab completion, type the first few characters and hit tab. Magic.

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
So, after putting the magic quotes (the simple ones, not the double ones):
After hitting Enter, I got this colored in blue:
oks@oks:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/HobbyWare/Pattern Maker for cross stitch/program_v4$[/code]
So I pasted the:
And now in that folder I could find the `pamker_nls.log` file.
I will attach it here and in the bug forum. (can't seem to attach it, it says wrong extension name even after I pasted in a txt file)
Is it ok what I did?
Code: Select all
oks@oks:~$ cd '/home/oks/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/HobbyWare/Pattern Maker for cross stitch/program_v4'

So I pasted the:

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Looks good, the attachment posted to the bug report. Hopefully someone will be able to help you with that. You should get an email if anyone comments, and they may ask for further info or, hopefully again, something to try. Good luck.

Hello, me again, with the same issue.
- I reinstalled Linux Mint 20 x64 Cinnamon after erasing all my hard disk.
- I installed Wine Stable this time (wine --version under Terminal lists wine-5.0.3)
The inch displaying in my cross stitch software is back, and in the bug I files, they said it was fixed, and I could confirm they fixed that but back then I was using wine-stagging.
What should I do to have the metric measurements displayed in the software instead of imperial?

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
The bug is fixed since version 5.15 and isn't in Wine stable.- I installed Wine Stable this time (wine --version under Terminal lists wine-5.0.3)
Can you retry the program in (the almost new stable) Wine 6.0-rc5?
Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
Hi, jkfloris, and thank you for replying.
You mean I have to install Wine 6.0-rc5? If yes, I really do not know how to do that.

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
If you've added the WineHQ repository, you can install the winehq-devel package.
This will remove the older Wine package and install version 6.0-rc5
If you want to keep Wine 5.0 you can install version 6.0-rc5 alongside
It is recommended that applications being run with different Wine versions be installed into separate wineprefixes.

Code: Select all
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel
sudo apt autoremove --purge

Re: force a software to use METRIC and not INCHES
I am afraid to do that, since I used the „stagging” package until 2 months ago, and after an update, the new stagging version ruined all my Wine software.
The installing alongside seems interesting but I will wait for the new stable release of Wine to see if they solved that.
Meanwhile I will use the program in inches.
jkfloris, thank you very much again for helping me. I really appreciate it!
