Wine Menu Folders

Post by Sleaka J »

When I had 0.9.55 I had a seperate Wine menu folder under my Applications menu. Now that I've installed 0.9.56 it's no longer there.

Is it specific to each DEB? Or did I install something that I can't figure out now that created those menu folders. I really liked it there.

How do I go about getting it back for 0.9.56?

I understand this is at least partially distro-specific. Or does Wine
first try to do things per the freedesktop.org spec? It's always Just
Worked on the last few versions of Kubuntu for me.

If you talking about Wine's own entries (notepad, winecfg, etc) then it's an addition of your distro. Vanilla Wine does not create such entries.
When you install any application it will be added to the Wine menu and if it did not exist before - it will be created.

See, that's the thing, I AM using the distro DEB for 0.9.56. I installed it exactly the same way as I did with 0.9.55 for Ubuntu 7.10.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. But it seems under the Ubuntu DEB for 0.9.56 it no longer exists.
