What's Prefix Backup?

It's a plugin which allows you to backup the whole prefix of a game (or a software), the version of Wine used with it (it's defined in "PlayOnLinux -> Tools -> Manage Wine versions"), and the launcher of the program installed in the selected prefix.
It creates a .pol archive that you can reinstall when and where you want via "Install -> Install a .pol package or an unsupported application" in PlayOnLinux.

Download

You can download it here

ToDo

Backup/Restore the different shortcuts in the system (menu, desktop).
Ask where to save the final .pol archive.
A better disk space handling

Version 0.4 & 0.5 (2009-11-2*)
Username is now restored for the current user.

Version 0.3 (2009-02-09)
Fixes the bug of the version 0.2.

Version 0.2 (2009-02-09)
Internationalized version (French/English)
Bugged version - All the launchers are backed up


Version 0.1 (2009-02-07)
First version.
Able to create a .pol archive of an application in /tmp but doesn't backup more than one launcher.

I edited the download link which was broken (I replaced mulx.net with mulx.playonlinux.com).
