Re: [AppDB] modify installs and runs fields

Can we not add another rank for the out-of-the-box-running applications? Most people will be interested in how well an application can be made to run, and will not care if that means adding a single DLL override, especially if the DLL is installed together with the application. Leaving just two levels to tell how well an application runs does not give a good overview; there are for example many games that work flawlessly in single-player mode, but not at all in multi-player mode; and some require a no-CD crack.

Actually it appears other share my altered sense of reality.

World Of Warcraft 1.3.0 is the top ranking "Gold" application, yet it requires mfc42, msvcp60.dll and possibly some patches to run.

MS Money is also in the Gold list and requires DCOM95 and IE6.

Are you really sure people understand what your definition of Gold is?

Crap!!!

Well http://appdb.winehq.org/help/?topic=maintainer_ratings spells it out that gold is just that.

An application can be rated as Gold if it installs and runs "out of the box".

Some maintainers may have a distorted or over optimistic opinion of their application. So we need to clean that up and change these "False Gold" applications to "Silver"

If anyone else knows of any other "False Gold" applications please let us know. appdb@xxxxxxxxxx
