Yes it pretty much depends on the portland tools to already be ported. I agree and don't think its worth our effort to try and support our own helper to parse or convert xdg when the bundle format is so simple. We can reuse a lot of the internals of xdg support in the menubuilder to convert icons and spew out data the plist's need without having to try to teach OS X to support a non-native format. > In case of generated *plist just add you WINEPREFIX in your file. > In case of WineHelper you can define WINEPREFIX in applications Preferences. > (just need to be review to be more flexible) I didn't think about this.

Heh yes perhaps their should be a variable to tell it to not generate a menu at all. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
