Prefix Import feature is not working as expected

[kkomara]

First Q4Wine is AWESOME !!!

Maybe I have missed something - I am able to create new wine prefixes and everything works perfectly on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - BUT - is it possible to copy or duplicated or clone an existing prefix ?
For example - I have a Win32 Prefix setup that I am installing several windows programs. Of course with Wine - getting a Windows app all to work can be a bit frustrating with allot of trial and error. So once I get a windows program installed and running in a wine prefix - I am reluctant to just start adding another windows program to that same prefix - for fear that the new program will mess up the existing program. So I would like to clone a copy of the working prefix with the first program already running and setup a "test" prefix to install the new program. Once that works I can then go back and install the new program on the original prefix, or just use the new prefix with BOTH programs as my new default.
I cannot find commands in q4wine to do this kind of copy of cloning ?? Am I missing something ??

Thanks !!!

hi @kkomara

You can use Import/Export features available at 'Prefix' tab https://q4wine.brezblock.org.ua/documentation/en_us/04-general-gui-description.html#prefixes

Export is supposed to be used to create an archive (you may think of it as a backup) of the root prefix folder as defined at 'Prefix path' setting.

You can use it either to restore or clone current configuration as needed via Import feature.

Note: Import will replace everything withing target directory.

Actually, there was a bug in the Import logic, should be fixed now: 520d4e7

This issue should be closed, shouldn't it?
