Possibility to choose in wich Wine prefix an application should be run  
Written by lukenpi the 20 May 12 at 18:06. New
Every time a Windows executable is launched the path of Wine is defaulted to ~/.wine

Since some Windows application need a bit of manipulation to work properly (dlls, runtimes etc) this prefix get dirty pretty soon, with the possibility to blow up the other applications which used to work.

Solution #1: Set&Forget question "In which Wine prefix should i run this application?"
Written by lukenpi the 20 May 12 at 18:06.
* Use the default location (~/.wine)
* Create a new prefix [ * path choice button * ]
* Use an existing prefix [ * path choice button * ]

[ ] Remember my answer

----------------------
The first time Wine is run this dialog box will be prompted. Every new prefix created with this gui will be saved and maybe proposed under "use an existing prefix" as a combo box.

Solution #2: Right click option "Open in another prefix"

as suggested by Ssdg, a good solution could be this right click option (maybe just a simple nautilus extension?).
