similar to: Appdb has loads of errors

I have a bunch of children's games and other random software that came in cereal boxes :). Obviously 80% of these programs aren't even in the appdb, and half of them don't work for one reason or another. For the symptoms that each show when being run under wine; what can I search for to see if it's a known bug (tm) or has a workaround or if I can just expect them to hit the

2009/3/7 Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio at earthlink.net>: > I can think of one possible benefit. There are a lot of apps without maintainers, and there might be users of those apps who would be willing take a few minutes to post bits of useful information in a wiki, but don't want the responsibility of being a maintainer. Sure, they could just post info in a comment, but user comments are

I would like help with the steps required to create a report of bugs that are not linked to the wine appdb. If possible can that report be added and selected from the bugzilla intro page. Thank you Nat PS: Are the following email addresses monitored: bugs-admin @ winehq.org ( Email WineHQ Bugzilla Administrator ) appdb @ winehq.org ( Email your suggestions for improving the AppDB )

Hi, for some reason I can't register to the AppDB with my email. When I press the "Create Account" button at the bottom of the form, I only get a page with the AppDB logo and the CodeWeavers ad. No message or email that the registration succeeded, no error message. :( When trying to browse the AppDB again, I only get a white page until I delete the AppDB cookie. This happens on both

Hey Gang, I'm new here so I get to as a few dumb questions without feeling too dumb about it... Several posts have been kind enough to include links to the AppDB pages, which I have been using, but I don't find there the instructions people allude to. All I find in AppDB pages is lists and rankings and images and basically a report of how well it works and less about how to make it

Hello, I don't find "windchaser" in the AppDB search but it's online when I search in "browse AppDB". Windchaser is one of the keywords I've set but why I can't find it there. btw. I'm a super maintainer of this App and this is my first maintaining. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8560 What did I do wrong? Many

Hi all, as I'm currently in my studies duties again and the AppDB submissions are piling up enormously (> 20 new entries in less than two weeks), I'm looking for one or two additional AppDB maintainers to do the Beowulf thingy ;-) (I'm talking about http://appdb.winehq.org, here) The job description can be found at http://www.winehq.org/about/index.php?contrib#active Sadly enough,

Dont know if iys the done thing, but I contacted the writer of an app I maintain in AppDB, to point out that his app runs perfectly under Linux and Wine. Straught away he modified his webpage to include the fact, and a link to the AppDB page for his application. Cheers, Ron. -- I prefer the most unjust peace to the most righteous war.

Currently, I have two accounts : one for wine-bugs and one for appdb. That doesn't annoy me as it is, but that would be cool f those were merged together. I don't know if it is possible, since appdb, bugzilla and phpbb are three different php programs, but that would help new users to participate on every side of wine. By the way, I saw that my tr'd message went on a new thread on the

Hi, I'm a newbie. I was looking at the AppDB and I think the voting is a great idea to prioritise what people want and will use. However, I was looking at my favorite game that I want to get fully working on wine - "Company of Heroes (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4506)". I can't understand why there isn't a global voting for this like

I searched for "stuffit" On the AppDB web site and received this error. fyi -Joe Baker *Database Error!* Query: REPLACE session_list VALUES ('e21b90947c8c0917c0b744ccc00dc81f', '', '', 'current|O:4:\"user\":7:{s:7:\"iUserId\";N;s:6:\"sEmail\";N;s:9:\"sRealname\";s:17:\"an anonymous

I have been trying for four days now to use AppDB. When I tried the first time to create an account using my email address, I was told to wait for an email with my password in it. I'm still waiting now four days later. If I try to create a new account (using the old email) I am told "another account is using the email address". Well, that's probably mine so why won't I

Hey guys, according to the AppDB Star Trek: Bridge Commander should work in wine as you may see here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bShowAll=true&bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=version&sTitle=&sReturnTo=&iId=13540 but it won't start for mee

I think that should be interesting if we could upload videos of the applications that we test on wine to the AppDB and Bugzilla. I recently tested the WebM encoder (http://www.webmproject.org/) from Google and it seems to produce videos with a great quality and small file sizes. The most recent versions of Chrome and Firefox are able to play this format nativily. This would help people share their

As a few people have noticed ( http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16514 ), since the change to the new web design, any non-UTF-8 characters in the AppDB have been displaying as ? (in Firefox) or a blank rectangle (in IE). This affects pretty much everyone with umlauts, accents, etc. in their names. I've been cleaning up the app names and descriptions, but fixing the display names for

I have several Windows executable that do run under Wine, and that only install a number of files in a directory, and modify the registry so that the main GPS mapping app can find and use them. Is it worth making an AppDB entry for such progs ? Cheers, Ron. -- About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment.

Hi, I have Ubuntu Hardy, which is a LTS (long term support) release. This means it'll be supported for a while. But it also means that there's a base of users of an older version of Wine that will want to try out programs but will want to see how an app performs against the Wine version they're using. To that end, I'd love to contribute to the Wine appdb, but the appdb

Hi, I maintain several apps in the appdb. I lately discovered 2 unmaintained apps that are exactly the same that I maintain but which remain in a different category. I adopted them and tried to merge them with the ones that are in the correct section. But how do I delete the "old" apps? I couldn't find an option for that. Thanks in advance. Henner

Hi, I had an idea which I would like to post. Not sure if this is the right place but I don't see anywhere else. Where you can run wine as a window. "Emulate Virtual Desktop", would it be possible to set a workspace up as a virtual desktop? I am interested to know what other people think, am I the only one who would like this or do other peopel thin its a good idea too? Also I a
