====== Wine ======

===== Tweaks =====
==== Copy / Paste ====

To be able to copy and paste things between Linux and Wine programs I had to add a key to the registry. The easiest way to do that is by making a ''.reg'' file with the following content:

<file reg wine-copypaste.reg>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"UsePrimarySelection"="1"
</file>

And then adding it with: ''wine regedit {filename}.reg''

==== Disable Crash Dialogues ====
When using [[Lutris]] I get a lot of anooying 'crash' dialogue, even though no problems seem to actually be occuring. To fix this you can run---
<code>sh winetricks nocrashdialog</code>
---from the terminal to disable them.

You can also do it by editing the Windows registry:

<file reg wine-nocrashdialog.reg>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineDbg]
"ShowCrashDialog"=dword:0000000
</file>

==== Fonts ====
By default support for other character sets can be missing. You can install more fonts via ''winecfg'', or use your normal package manager.

Wine looks for fonts in:
  * ''/usr/share/fonts'' (system-wide fonts)
  * ''/usr/share/wine/fonts'' (wine-specific)
  * ''~/local/.fonts'' (user-specific fonts)
  * ''C:\Windows\Fonts'' within your Wine system. Actually somehwere in ''~/.wine/...'' by default

==== Default Prefix ====

The default prefix/bottle/what-have-you is located at ''~/.wine''. [[software_that_doesnt_support_xdg|If you don't like things cluttering your home directory]] you can change this with an environment variable:

Put, say, ''export WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wine/prefix/default'' in your ''.bashrc'' file.

==== .desktop files ====

Wine likes to dump a bunch of useless .desktop files ...

When making your own .desktop

<code>
Path=[full path to directory with your program in it]
Exec=env WINEPREFIX=[full path to a wine prefix if you're not using the default one] wine [.EXE file you want to run]
</code>
