[Wine] Changing Wine's mapping of system folders (Documents etc)
Hi, thanks for reading.
I'm playing Neverwinter Nights 2 on Wine. Let me just say first of all that
it runs great!).
Thing is, the game defaults (as most games do) to saving save-files and options
to the Documents folder. Some browsing on their forums shows that this is in
line with Microsoft's new (post-Vista) policy for all software titles,
user-specific settings go into Documents.
Anyhow, this results in my save-games (and a couple of file settings) going into
my /home/{username}/ folder. It creates a folder with the game's name there
and saves everything there. Thing is that I tend to format the entire home
partition every once in a while, and am trying to minimize the number of things
I'll have to remember to copy. So, I'd like to know whether I can
somehow tell NWN2, through Wine, that the Documents folder (I assume that's
what they're using) is somewhere else.
Just a note, I could of course copy the folder out of my home partition to my
data partition and symlink it every time, but would like a more elegant and
permanent (non-dependent on my remembering to do this) solution.
Thanks.
