Creating Wineprefixes #200

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I love using winetricks, but I currently use a script to make a new prifix for 
unsupported games. I believe an option to create a new prefix would be a great 
idea.

I'm still new to programming, and using git/svn. My script is attached, though 
it is not much in its current form. It's usage is simply to make a folder with 
the first argument and run wineconfig with the folder set as the prefix.

Sorry about adding this as an Defect, I wasn't sure how to set it as 
Enhancement or Suggestion.

If users have followed
http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/wiki/CommandlineTips
they can do
  prefix foo
  mkdir $WINEPREFIX
and then foo will show up in the list of prefixes in winetricks.
That seems easy enough for commandline folks.

We could also add an option to the winetricks gui to prompt for a new
wineprefix.  I thought of it, but never got around to it.

Thanks for the tip for adding prefixes, it's been a while since I've used 
winetricks from the terminal.
