ArtRage

What works

Program Installs and runs perfectly. Although I needed to download a library file called "gdiplus.dll" first, and put it in the windows/system folder.

What does not

For reasons not yet known, it refuses to save files in folder locations longer than 32 characters.

ie:

it will display:

"An error occurred on attempting to read/write data from/to a file stream. There was an error trying to save your work. Please try again using a different name or location."

when I try to save it to:

"/home/iain/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/iain/My Documents"

Though when I create a link to it and put it in my home folder:

"/home/iain/My Wine Docs"

It will save just fine.

I also cannot open up the manual directly through the program, possible also got something to do with locations longer than 32 characters.

"/home/ellz/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ambient Design/ArtRage 2/Resources/ArtRage 2.5 Manual.pdf"

Additional Comments

Amazing paint effects. Makes me wonder why no one has made a Linux native variant on it! :D -- Other notes. by Iain on Tuesday February 19th 2008, 11:50 Hi, just to add to my test data: I've found out that the "Ruler" stencils crash the program. All other stencils work fine, and importing stencils works too! I've also fixed the location length problem (well, made a workaround). In wine configuration, set the Z:\ Drive as the location as your Documents folder in Wine, and all files will be saved to Z:\, not the very long /home/name/etc/etc/etc/etc/etc/etc/etc/My Documents. But no worries, as they will be both the same place! Iain
