Additional Comments
Could not install with 0.9.36 Wine; had to downgrade to 0.9.33 to install. The program didn't run with 0.9.33, but after upgrading back to 0.9.36 after install it started.
There are some good alternatives to this application that might exist for your platform. You'll find a list on the main page of this application.
Restoring save/tool/filter functionality
2013-05-03 Admin note: this howto does not appear to have been updated in a long time, and may no longer be valid. It is being kept here for the benefit of anyone who may wish to test and/or update it.
Although the file open/save dialogs are not fully functional, opening
files may be accomplished using the "Browse" feature and the open/save
dialogs remain somewhat usable by "feel" (read: rampant, blind
clicking.)
In order for most filters, the undo/redo system, and brushes to work
you will need to apply the following workaround, adapted from:
http://tjworld.net/wiki/PaintShopProFailsOnWine :
1) Create a file named mkdir.mawk in your ~/My PSP9 Files/
directory, and paste the following section (enclosed in comments)
inside.
##Begin mkdir.mawk contents
$0 ~ /JSC/ {
if ($0 ~ /not found in/ && $0 ~ /wine_nt_to_unix_file_name/) {
temp=substr($0,2+index($0,"L\""));
temp_len=index(temp, ".tmp")+3;
temp=substr(temp,1,temp_len);
temp_parts_qty=split(temp,temp_parts,"\\");
dirname=substr($0,13+index($0, "not found in ")) "/" temp_parts[1];
print "Creating temporary directory:", dirname;
system("mkdir \"" dirname "\"")
}
}
##End mkdir.mawk contents
Save the file, and create a second file in your home directory called runpsp9 - and paste the following inside:
##Begin loader script
sh -c 'env WINEDEBUG="+file" WINEPREFIX="/home/$USER/.wine" \
wine "C:\\Program Files\\Jasc Software Inc\\Paint Shop Pro 9\\Paint Shop Pro 9.exe" 2>&1 | \
awk -f ~/My\ PSP9\ Files/mkdir.mawk'
