No file and folders explorer when you want to save a file with a wine application

Post by orion501 »

Hello

I have a problem with wine application only with multiusers. The problem not occur with the local administrator user but only with restricted user. I added the file explorer path for each drive on the winecfg configuration.
The problem for restricted user is that they can' t save any file with wine applications because when they want to save a file in the save windows the save as box is empty.
I join a pic showing the problem when using a wine application.

Wine is not designed to install applications system-wide.
In your case, the user probably does not have the proper permissions. However, you can also damage the registry.
Create a wineprefix for each user, and install the program for each user in its own prefix.
