Sure, I'm absolutely not opposed to that. It's clear that the current mechanism is not very user-friendly nor very flexible. The first thing to do would be to make it possible to change drive mappings at run-time, and then have them integrated as much as possible with the Unix environment, detecting all local filesystems, partition types, media changes, possibly even calling mount/umount from Wine, etc. What I want to avoid, and your patch is a good example of that, is the multiplication of ad-hoc hacks that solve a very specific problem without addressing the more global issue. Both your patch and Stefan's UNC patch contain pieces that will be part of the global solution; but they need to fit in a more general framework to be acceptable. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
