Bug ID: 48066
           Summary: Save File does not work in Microcap 12.2.0.2 (a
                    Powerful circuit simulator, now free as in beer)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.18
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: shell32
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Microcap is powerful circuit simulator, developed commercially for nearly 40
years,  which has been made available for use ay no cost in late 2019.

I've exercised it quite extensively today and the "only" thing which fails to
work is file saving. I don't believe it is a deliberate limitation, since I've
double checked and the full product seems to have been made available for free
use without restriction.

Another user has sought help for the same issue on SE:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/469602/microcap-12-using-wine-3-03-...

The software can be downloaded from:
www.spectrum-soft.com/download/download.shtm

Choose the "Full CD version", which contains files necessary for the program to
run.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run program
2. Insert component (hit "r" for resistor, click on the sheet to place it and
hit "ENTER" to close the Dialog)
3. Invoke the File/save menu item and attempt to save somewhere.

Result: The UI gives no error indication, but no file is created.

When hitting the "save" button in the save dialog, wine spits put

002b:fixme:commdlg:IFileSaveDialog_fnGetProperties stub - 000000000316AD40

Confirming, I haven't tried on Windows though. One thing it asks for that we
don't have is SID_ExplorerPaneVisibility, no idea if it's a problem.

Confirmed. That's great!

I notice that the visual appearance of the file dialog changed, that might have
something to do with the issue.
