I have a directory with a collection of mp3 files. I plan to use a Windows program in wine on them, but one of the files -- 09.mp3 -- is "invisible" to wine.

The program I'm using ignores the file as though it doesn't exist. I ran winefile and cmd in wine, and they don't show the file either. The rest of the files in the dir exist.

Facts

  • The affected file was added years ago; the other files were added today
  • All the files have the same owner (me)
  • All the files have the same permissions (0644), and getfacl shows the same result for all files too
  • lsattr shows the same results for all files: --------------e------- 09.mp3
  • Renaming the file does not help
  • Making a copy - The copy appears, unless I use cp -a
  • ext4 filesystem, mounted with options rw,relatime
  • Linux kernel 5.15.0-47-generic on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  • wine-6.0.3 (Ubuntu 6.0.3~repack-1)

  • I wonder if wine has a log somewhere, they should mention errors like that. I guess a ls with a different --time might've spotted it, but the default time just looks a little old... a good clue since it's the only visible difference Commented Dec 21, 2023 at 12:58

The file access time is in the future - the far-off year 2446:

Resetting it fixes the problem:

I don't know why a far-future access date is a problem for wine or Windows. The Win32 FILETIME structure can handle dates for thousands of years. Anyway it's easy to resolve for my affected file.

You're using a very old outdated version of Wine.

This bug cannot be reproduced in newer Wine releases, specifically in 9.0-rc2:

Wineconsole Wine 9.0-rc2
