WINE and Photopshop 7

[Brains]

Lisa I found this out on my Photoshop 7 thing

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1336

All I need now is to work out how to use WINE 

[Lisa]

o.k i'll try to remember a quick how to

you install wine (in the repo)
then when you want to use a windows app, you right click and selcted "open with WINE" or "run with WINE" on the set up or .exe file
it will create a fake c drive, which can be found at /home/USERNAME/.wine/drive_c
that is where it will install stuff. (you may have to unhide files to see it, either through "View>> show hidden files" or ctrl + H)

Some wine proggies will be added to a subsection in your applications menu, but for some reason not all.. (haven't figured out why)
to run from there just click, otherwise navigate to the wine directory and right click run with wine

If you need to configure wine, then type winecfg in the terminal window.. i found that a bit more complicated than it needs to be though.

give us a shout if you need more help and i'll try to sort you out.

it is possibe to create a shorcut on your desktop to run a set program with wine, so it would just be a simple double click.. but first step is getting wine to install stuff, then if the stuff works we can worry about creating shortcuts

Thanks Lisa 

Given the time and how tired I am I will follow your instructions tomorrow when I am more awake 

[Lisa]

i tried to keep it simple without the technical garb, but if you need more just holler

[Brains]

Lisa I have got to WINE configuration an easier way for me

system > preferences > scroll down to > wine configuration

[Lisa]

[Brains]

[Lisa]

[Brains]

Lisa - slight problem WINE isnt listed in the list of "open with" applications and I dont know the command line to use either

Or am I doing someat wrong

[Lisa]

try running the wine configuration first?

i just right click on an .exe and "open with Wine windows emulation" is there?

[Nizzle]

in terminal it's easy too..

wine "/home/Name/something/thingy.exe"

same thing really

[Brains]

nope it aint working

[Lisa]

what happens if you type winecfg in the terminal?
