Thread: EXE version number icon overlay can mess up

hey all,

i've upgraded wine 1.2rc4 packages on lucid machines, , found new "gnome-exe-thumbnailer" package pretty cool. said, there potential issue version string comes out of exe files.

i've found that, @ least exes (particularly exe files telltale's game installers - yes, love me sam & max), version string can end being assume sort of templated string. example, looked in gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh script figure out how extracting version string exe file, , discovered this:

code:

$ wrestool --extract --raw --type=version ~/downloads/sammax303_pc_setup.exe | tr '\0' '\t' | sed 's/\t\t/#/g' | tr -c -d '[:print:]' | sed -r 's/.*version#*([^#]*).*/\1/; s/, /./g;' | xargs echo | sed -r 's/^([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]).*/\1/'  ${product_version_date}

yes, string comes out of is, in fact, "${product_version_date}". i've attached altered version of gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh script calls on 'grep' check leading '$' in output of version string extraction pipeline, , doesn't try composite in version string if there one. don't know if common thing, thought worthwhile change make.

thanks, , keep work.
