Simple Query: E-Mailing Files in Wine to Other Computers

UsagiYojimbo · Post by **UsagiYojimbo** » Sun Jun 03, 2012 12:42 pm

I imagine this is an extremely simple problem, but I've been searching for a few hours and I haven't been able to solve it.

I'm running Magic Set Editor on Wine through OSX 10.5.8, and I want to send a file that program saved to a friend, but I can't locate anything related to Wine on my computer other than the program in the Applications folder.

Searching my computer does nothing and nowhere online can I find a clear description of how to find the files Wine is showing me in my normal OSX interface so I can copy it, attach it to an email or something simple and normal.

Thank you for any help,
-Usagi

You're right, the FAQ lacks an entry like
"Where does Wine store my files?"

The closest it comes is
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-faf9617 ... 522d490faf

This question has come up before, see
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7730

Do either of those help?

(I think ~ is /Users/yourusername on Mac, so wine should store
your C drive at /Users/yourusername/.wine/drive_c. But I don't
have a mac, so I'm not sure.)

None of the command prompts produce a file, they gimme the ol' "No such file or directory".

I've looked in the Users folder, there is no .wine subfolder. Those other threads said something about Spotlight not searching for hidden files, perhaps that's the problem? Maybe these folders are around but I can't see them?

Whatever is happening, it should be the default settings, since I just got the Wine program and put it in my App folder, no shenanigans.

Configuring spotlight to search for hidden items returns only a single junk plaintext file labeled bundleicon.

Where did you get Wine from? If you used a third party wrapper of some sort (which it sounds like), you need to ask for help from their support channels.

The version of Wine I'm using is the one from this link:

http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

It appears it's called Winebottler 1.2.3, but I do have a program called Wine in addition to a program called Winebottler, and I didn't do anything with the bottler to get the program running.

I followed this excruciatingly simple tutorial.

The tutorial here:
http://www.cheapandsleazy.net/darwine.html

Also failed to elicit a functional response. Specifically the part that told me to Terminal

sudo ln -s ~/.wine/"wine./"drive_c" ~/Desktop

It made an alias, but the alias didn't go anywhere.

It seems like this should be really straightforward, yeah?

WineBottler is a third party wrapper. It is not supported here and seems to be a dead project. The version of Wine it installed is obsolete. To get help here, install the current development release of plain Wine.

This project has not been touched for over one year. I recommend
de-installing it (drag the application to the trash) and then
installing Wine with either MacPorts or Fink. Use the development
version (it is a beta but is well tested to not cause major system
problems.)

After doing this, go to your user directory through terminal
(Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and issue the command:

Code: Select all

rm -rf .wine
wine winecfg

This should bring up a program called Wine Configuration. You can
exit the program if it is running fine.

You should NOT use any tutorial other than those provided in the
Applications database to get programs installed in Wine.
