[Question] Can you add already existing prefixes? #176

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

I wanna know that,cause I wanna add some steam games that need a mod launcher. And also can I add multiple prefixes at once if that works?

hi @Toadfield yes, you can.

q4wine allows you to import prefixes created under ${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes in one shot via Import action available at Programs tab.

If you would like to import prefixes from the other directory: it is not possible atm. As a workaround you can symlink ${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes to a top level directory. Or symlink existing prefixes into ${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes

Alternatively, you can create prefix and just point prefix path to an existing wine prefix directory. q4wine won't remove anything unless asked explicitly.

Can I change where the default prefixes are located? But then I have the problem that I couldn't add steam game prefixes and stuff like that.

Yes, you can: File -> Options -> Advanced -> Default directory for new wine prefixes;

But then I have the problem that I couldn't add steam game prefixes and stuff like that.

Why? You still should be able to create prefixes using existing fake steam drive and setup wine versions to point to proton binaries I think.

Seems like resolved. Reopen if needed.
