Description Scott Ritchie 2009-07-16 03:02:09 UTC 
Wine users frequently need to access their virtual C:\ drive, however it is hidden inside the .wine folder.  The current solution to this problem is to place a link to Browse C:\ Drive in the applications->wine menu, however this is inconsistent since a much better location is in Places.

Please add a bookmark to ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:  by default.  Users won't see it (since the directory won't exist) unless they have installed and configured Wine.

I will work on providing a special Wine emblem to improve the icon for the Places menu as well (so it's clear that C:\ drive is the Wine C:\ drive rather than another C:\ drive)

Thank you!

Nautilus should not ship bookmarks for wine; I don't like the idea at all, but if anything, it should probably be the other way round, i.e. wine developers (or your distro's wine package maintainers) could set up a hook that detects if you're under GNOME and modifies the .gtk-bookmarks file adding such an entry.

Closing as WONTFIX.
