maybe a .winetricksrc ?
where we can set default options, like prefix root, use --isolate as default, 
etc.

tnx.

Tell me a little about how you use Winetricks.

--isolate *is* the default.  I assume you mean --noisolate.

currently i use metatrader4 a lot.
so, mostly i only need to install gecko and mfc42.

but, sometimes i need multiple version installed with different settings for 
each metatrader.

maybe mine is older version? it seems that everything is installed into .wine

So, you want to install multiple versions of an app, each in its own
wineprefix, and use winetricks to add things to each of those wineprefixes.

That will work fine, and you can even use the winetricks gui to do it,
as long as you create the wineprefix directories in ~/.local/share/wineprefixes
first.

There are lots of ways to do that.  For instance, from the commandline,
you can set WINEPREFIX yourself 
  export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/metatrader1
Then, in that same terminal window, you can install, run, and tweak your app
with winetricks to your heart's content.
If you do that a lot, see 
http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/wiki/CommandlineTips for shell functions to 
make it a bit easier.

The winetricks gui will work even from the system menu for tweaking 
multiple wineprefixes, once they are created.

The only annoying bit is that the system menu entry for running the
app will probably get overwritten each time you install another version
of the app, so make a copy of the launcher before installing the next version.

Partly.
Run http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/install-gecko.sh
then you won't have to install gecko each time.

There is no such thing for mfc42.  And not all games need it, anyway...
