What is "Select irfanview" in Winetricks

Post by UlfZibis »

Hi,
When running winetricks I see the option:
Select irfanview (Irfanview)
Winetricks - Select irfanview.png
Can one tell me what is the purpose of this selection?
Is this a special predefined WinePrefix to run IrfanView on?

I already have installed IrfanView in the default WinePrefix in ~/.wine/ with the help of https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... n&iId=7834

I'm confused :?

Are you sure you installed Irfanview to ~/.wine? Winetricks installs it by default to ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Irfanview, and that selection option is for installing other things in winetricks to that wineprefix.
