New Project doesn't work under WINE
« on: July 10, 2014, 10:40:23 am »
Installed build 1106 under wine-1.7.20 on fully updated Fedora 20 x86_64. I can open the EAExample just fine, but I can't create a New project - I get through the technology-selection wizard OK but no project is created. Nor do I get any EA status-bar messages, nor any error dialog from EA (is there somewhere else I should look?)

It's not permissions - if I use 'wine notepad' I can create a file no problem. (Documents\Projects\CanWriteTest.txt)

My workaround - use "Copy a Base Project". This has another bug,  but I can work around that ...

Here's the bug in "Copy": when I browse to set the file name (in my "Documents\Projects" folder) and set a field name in the Windows browse dialog, nothing is filled into the "Create New Enterprise Architect Project" dialog "New Project" field, no file is created. If I just go ahead and type in a name without a path, then I get an error dialog "There was an error creating the selected project. Please check your details and try again"

Here's the workaround: leave the Base project set to the EAExample, prepend path manually to the file location and name I want, and I get a project. It's an odd project - only an empty Model root, not the rest of the EAExample. But then I can use the Add wizards and such in the Project Browser to fill it out.

Any suggestions?
