That's very interesting. I've posted a note to wine-devel to let them know about the problem. Maybe we can find a workaround (like having wine fall back to using underscores instead of colons). Is this your personal network, or is some organization out there actually using cifs for mounting linux home directories? cifs hasn't been commonly used for home directories in the past, to my knowledge. - Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
