File-open dialog "More Keymaps" shortcut broken on Wine

[nyanpasu64]

In a Wine file-open dialog, if you double-click a shortcut to a folder (unsure about file), it sends the shortcut to the program instead of navigating to the folder.

- Install OpenMPT on Wine.
- Open the View menu and click Setup.
- Click the Keyboard tab, and click "Import Keys...".

If you double-click "More Keymaps", Windows would go to the .lnk target directory. But Wine returns the .lnk file from the file-open dialog.

Note that OpenMPT uses XP-style file dialogs on Wine because Wine's Vista-style file dialogs are terrible. On Wine, both XP/Vista dialogs don't traverse the .lnk file and instead return the .lnk path. On Windows, both XP/Vista dialogs traverse the .lnk file.

I'm not sure why you posted this here as you explained the source of the issue in the last paragraph: Wine doesn't follow .lnk files, so you will need to ask the Wine people to fix that. OpenMPT 1.30 will reorganize a lot of things and this shortcut will be gone anyway; instead it will use application-specific shortcuts in the file browser dialog, but I think those are not supported in Wine either.

Anyway I've reported a Wine bug too.

Are you annoyed at me? I legitimately can't tell.

yay... I've never heard of application-specific shortcuts. Is it adding extra items in the left sidebar? Hopefully I won't miss them when scanning the interface.

No, I am really just surprised that after coming to the correct conclusion that Wine's file dialog does something wrong you're also posting this here. There's little we can do here (and certainly I don't want to implement .lnk parsing in OpenMPT to circumvent an inconvenience in the file browser).

Yes, on Windows those would be added next to the favourite folders. Wine does not seem to support this feature. OpenMPT doesn't use application-specific shortcuts for anything critical; they are just a convenience for locating important folders (e.g. instrument folders, song folders, plugin preset folders and stuff like that).
