LView Pro

What works

Quick, efficient start-up. In un-registered versions there is some discoloration upon start-up which disappears once the time remaining screen is closed. Can create new, edit, save, open, and close images. Open and save dialogs successfully default to last location and file type, and provide image previews.

Tested & functioning tools:  object selector, zoom, layer mover, hand scroller, grid/rulers, free transform, simple crop, path, shape selection (rectangle, oval, square, circle shapes; all options), free selection (all options), selection fill (only normal blending mode; all other options), color dropper, pencil (all options), paintbrush (all options), airbrush (all options), fill (all options), text, line tool (all options except Create as Object), shape tool (all options except Create as Object; rectangle, oval, square, circle shapes).

Tested & working functions: color selector and custom colors; Edit menu, View menu, Image menu and all contained functions of these menus; help menu and topics, though slow; recent documents remembered and accessible.

Tested with file formats: lvp, gif, jpg, bmp. Does not support png, svg, and does not crash when asked to open these formats (just shows dialog).

What does not

Free deform tool returns a "not enough available memory" warning and does not function.

Shape selection with custom shapes (from the drop down menu) do not work; return a "not enough available memory" warning.

Attempting to use selection fill with "dissolve" blending mode causes the program to abort and close.

Using the line tool to create a line object does not work ("not enough available memory"). It will still draw the line; the line will just not be an object.

Attempting to use the shape tool to create a custom shape does not work, and it does not generate any error message. Attempts to create a shape object have similar results to attempting a line object.

Additional Comments

No edits whatsoever were made to Wine in order to run almost-flawlessly. Very few not-working features.
