wine users - Feb 2010 - Custom configurations for some applications

Hi all,
I tried to set custom configurations for some applications using winecfg. I need
to set different virtual desktop sizes for different applications.
It seems to always use standard configuration and not the custom one.
I tried many wine versions up to 1.1.39 but it hasn't never worked.

Thanks

You can always run each application in its own prefix.

I have N applications (app1, app2, ..., appN)
So I run
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.app1" wine app1.exe
...
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.appN" wine appN.exe

But do I have to create the directories ~/.app1, ..., ~/.appN ?
And how can I set different virtual desktop sizes for each one?

Thanks

Wine will automatically create these when you install into the new
prefix or run winecfg for that new prefix.

Each prefix will keep its own configuration. The directories are automatically
created once you set the Wineprefix to it.

To have different settings per prefix, just run winecfg in these separate
prefixes:
WINEPREFIX=~/path1 winecfg
WINEPREFIX=~/some_other_path winecfg

After that I run from terminal:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.appN" wine appN.exe
and I get:
wine: Module not found

Did you install the app to that wineprefix?
