Improve mount #1
Conversation
This allows automatically adjusting the symlink in $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices
Wine apparently needs a symlink to the image to get the necessary CD information If the drive the mountpoint is set to is "E:", then there will be one symlink $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/e: pointing to the mountpoint and another $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/e:: pointing to the image This is the same as when it is a physical drive, i.e. d:: points to /dev/sr0
… executions on every right click are not a good idea

Wow. Thank you :) I need some time to examine and test your code. |

You may not want to add 19a9a83 (it is not related to my addition), but for me running losetup with sudo didn't work properly so I removed it since the gained functionality was nice but not neccessary for me. I noticed this method was being called way too often, though. Since it spawns a new process every time this should be reduced. |

I test mount improvements and seems it works fine. Good job! I'l gladly include your code to my source tree. Thanks :) btw: If you wish, you can send to me information which can be placed in q4wine's about dialog. Well, I'l revert 19a9a83 changes. I knew it is a horrible dirty hack, but I can't find any other way to get information from loop device. I plan to add cdemu (http://cdemu.org) support and use it as default mount backend. |
The commits create new symlinks when mounting$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/$ {DRIVE}: pointing to the mountpoint and $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/$ {DRIVE}:: pointing to the Image file (not the double colon).
Apparently this is needed so that the images are recognised as a proper cd/dvd drive.
This also adds on column to the database which determines which wine drive to use for the mounted images (configurable in the GUI)
