Most users will want to install Wine to run Windows apps. Very few have any interest in running the test applications that come with Wine (notepad and minesweeper), especially as replacements to normal applications (gedit and gnome mines).
The winecfg and uninstaller entries are important. Wine already makes its own program folder when the user installs a Windows application, so we should consider putting everything Wine related in there. Notepad and minesweeper can go into a default Wine->Program Files->Applications; even if users don't run them this will make it clear that Wine will add start menu entries alongside them. Some applications users will almost never want to run, even accidentally. Even Microsoft makes users run regedit from the terminal. Showing it to every Wine user is needlessly confusing; if a user has to edit the registry something is broken anyway. Wine file isn't meant to be run by itself, except sometimes as a launcher script requiring additional terminal arguments. We can hide it for the same reason we don't have an application menu link to the grep command. We do, however, need a link for users to browse their ~/.wine/drive_c/ folder in nautilus. I'm a bit torn whether it should be in places or in the Wine folder itself, though. I'm not sure what to do with the help file browser though. Users should be able to click a help file and have it open automatically; running the help browser outside of this feature isn't going to be helpful (Wine's help files, meanwhile, should be like every other native helpfile on the system.) -- Consider hiding menu entries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
