Wine app. DB??

Edward78 · 30 Nov 2014 at 05:38

All the wine hq list has it seems is games, where can I find a full list of the apps. that will work?

I suggest that you actually look at the database on the winehq site properly rather than looking at the front page and making assumptions.

If you search it, by application or by developer, then you will see that there are many non-game applications listed on there.

Raises the question more of what you actually need wine for?
I don't use wine as my experiences with it have been awful, to the point of having to do a full so reinstall to remove a program it installed!

What do you need to do as usually there is a perfectly capable Linux version?

, so removing the .wine dir didn't cross your mind then :rolleyes:

.

But have to agree , wine is handy for older programs though. But 99% of the time there is a *nix equivalent

@edward

Search the wine database for the program you need via the search box is the easiest way.

I have a trial of Corel Motionstudio 3D, $80 to buy!!! Is there a opensource free alt., well it doesn't work anyway.

Try install through PlayOnLinux. Its handy for setting/configuring different programs. It should be in your distos repos, it's in most.

edit.

Am not to up on vid software but openshot/Blender/Lightworks any good.

Good list here http://xmodulo.com/good-video-editing-software-linux.html

I like Motionstudio 3d, it lets you drag & drop effects from a palette onto your object. It is $80 though!!!

Yes but that didn't remove the program I'd installed.

Kinda of had too, apart from a shortcut or 2. Unless you'd messed with the default wine dir and what not.As in put it in the /usr dir instead if the users home directory.

Playonlinux defaults to separate directory's per app.

@ Edward.

Have a look at lightworks, seems to be the go to one apparently. States it was used in a number of films. But that could be off putting too :confused:

Deleting the wine prefix will always remove the whole program as it removes the windows environment it is installed in.
Which is why you should use playonlinux as you can create a whole new prefix for each program you install.

Where is the .wine folder & I want a program that does this & doesn't cost around $80...

in your home folder, right click in an empty space and click show hidden folders/files, ctrl+m in an ubuntu based distro

Thanx. Got rid of the .wine folder, wine is still in the menu.

You actually want to remove wine from the system all together, and not just the program installed in wine?
Really you should have uninstalled it rather than just deleting it, on ubuntu you would open a terminal and just type "sudo apt-get remove wine1.7" (or wine1.6 depending which package you have installed), then "sudo apt-get purge wine".
Since you have deleted the folder just use the purge command to remove any trace.

I did in the package manger I marked it for complete removal.
