Changing "Folders link to:" of Desktop Integration in winecfg is not working

[pilisir]

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 14.4
• Winery version: 2.0
• Master Wrapper version: 3.0
• Engine version: 23.7.1-1
• Hardware: MacBook Pro 14 M2 Pro
• Application/Game Name: Wineskin Advanced

Describe the bug Changing "Folders link to:" of Desktop Integration in winecfg is not working.

To Reproduce

1. Go to '.Wineskin Advanced'.
2. Click 'Tools' tab and click winecfg under WineTools.
3. Click 'Desktop Integration' tab, and browsing a new Documents folder.
4. Select a folder under ~/wherever, click OK to save.
5. Open a game and quit, after all to check the config files, and they had been created in ~/Documents, not in ~/wherever.
6. Relaunch Wineskin Advanced to check the settings of "Folders link to:", the path keeps default values seem I never change.

Expected behavior It should accept the change as 2.x wrapper. And games config files would be created to the new(right) path.

You change these setting from Wineskin.app not winecfg.

@Gcenx, thank your reply.

Yes, I did it via right click menu of MyCoolWrapper.app, selecting Show Package Contents and open the "Contents/Wineskin.app". I always change the folder links in the same way, it used to work with 2.x wrapper, but not this time.

@pilisir I think you misunderstood @Gcenx. As your screenshot demonstrates, you are still using wine (winecfg) rather than Wineskins native mechanism to change the mappings. While It should work non the less, you might want to take a look at the attached screenshots. This is what @Gcenx did suggest.

@Rastafabisch Thank you!

I never notice that feature before, the mappings can be modified and saved, but it still doesn't work, and config files has been created in ~/Documents.

When I try to disable the Mappings, and go back winecfg to set folders link again, the paths all becomes empty, and SAVE still change nothing when I reopen winecfg to verify the results.

I have a couple of games I run and have recently noticed the Templates folder being created in my home folder every time I launch them. I then go in and delete it and it comes right back next time I run the game. I have deleted the mapping, and the change does show in the interface, but it doesn't stop the Template folder from being created.

I think this change started with the 2.0 upgrade and the 3.0 wrapper. I don't recall having this issue before then. I'm guessing this issue is related to what I'm seeing as well. Otherwise the new version seems to be working well for me.

I can concur that the Templates symbolic link under users>Wineskin>AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows is getting created and continues to exist even when disabling folder mapping.

FYI, update to Wineskin 3.0.4, and it seems fixed, keeping watch.

Oh, no, it's broken again. 🥲
