(long-shot suggestion) Wine compatibility ...

Currently TC seems to well for me under Wine, just 2 sugestions:
a) the initial 1-2-3 non-registered dialog gets behind the actual TC window under Wine - it is very likely that is a Wine long-shot bug but it might also be easy to fix from TC ...
b) under Wine TCMADMIN.EXE should be launched using sudo/gksudo instead of shellexecuteex/runas ... (again probably something that one day might get into wine in vista-mode emulation
)

Hello CatalinC,

These issue was solved time ago, update to the newest wine version and the problem will disappear.
The handicap: Buttons in toolbar are not redraw correctly, but it was fine in previous wine version

b) I don't think that this is possible because tcmadmin.exe isn't really run, it's emulated - which means that the wine binary would have to be run with admin rights, and then launch tcmadmin.exe. If there is any way to do that from TC, I will of course add it...
It might be ...

If I try to run gksu/gksudo in Wine indeed it does not work from the TC command prompt, however it seems to work OK if I double-click it or generally run it from anywhere else than the TC command line ...
For instance if I create a new button in TC bar with:
command = z:\usr\bin\gksudo
parameter = /home/USER/.wine/drive_c/totalcmd/TOTALCMD.EXE
(case will probably be a small problem ...)
it will ask for password and then launch an 'elevated' TOTALCMD ...

Sounds good, I could try to launch tcmadmin.exe this way too!
Btw, do you know of any documentation on how to make Windows programs work well with Wine? For example, I would like to set Unix attributes, owner and group of a file, is that posible from Wine?
a little over my head :)

Apparently the people from Wine don't even want for a program to know it's running under Wine - but with Total Commander you definitely have the best example of why a program would ever want that - so I suggest that you should post a question like that on their forum and they will probably direct you to some hidden RPC call ...
