Acoording to this announcement https://www.winehq.org/announce/1.7.7 from version 1.7.7 configuring Samba shares was added to Wine. As far as i understood, it should be doable without mounting the share in host system first. But there is no info how to do that. In latest Wine version there is no new option in winecfg and in winefile trying to add a network share gives me the "No network" error. I installed Samba netapi library and still no success. I have a Windows program, which connects to a network samba share, creates directories and sends files. When I mount the share into some directory in Opensuse using sshfs and point my program to send files there, it can't create directories because of weird user permissions for new dirs hardcoded into the application. So I hoped to be able to mount the share directly in Wine to better simulate working on Windows machine. Can somebody point me on how to use this new feature which was added in v. 1.7.7?
