No Heidi-Window under wine

Hello!

I try to use HeidiSQL on Ubuntu 18.04 under wine 3.18. The installation was running perfectly and without errors.

Now, when I try to startup Heidi (no difference between GUI and commandline) no window is shown. There are no messages in the console window.

The question is how to get the connection-manager-window on the screen. Right now I have a setup with a notebook and two additional screens, connected via port-replicator.

Can anybody help? Is information missing here?

Thanks,

SeBo32

Are you sure the HeidiSQL process did not crash immediately at startup?

Under Wine, many users oversee the notice on the download page - you need to override Wine's builtin direct2d lib with the native one.

Hi Ansgar,

I think Heidi does not crash immediately, because the prompt is not returning until I press ctrl+c.

Nevertheless, I followed your hint with Direct2d. It worked!

Thanks for your help!
