Howto: Wine prefix configuration update after updated wine binary

[tavasti]

After update to wine binary (which happens pretty often with wine-staging) every wine-prefix will give popup 'Wine configuration in /path/to/wine/prefix is beeing updated, please wait...'. At least for me, that takes like 1.5 minutes, and DAW plugin loading is frozen during that period. And I have multiple wine prefixes. Looks like total 7 wineprefixes, althou some are not that actively used.

So I wrote script for polling all my wine prefixex:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
for i in /home/tavasti/.wine /data/store/tavasti/wine-*; do
  WINEPREFIX="$i" wine whoami
done

Pretty normal case, having so much wine that need to ask 'Who am I?'
