wine users - Sep 2009 - photoscape 3.3 not properly running with wine

Hello,

I'm running wine 1.1.29 and Kubuntu 9.04.

Formerly I could use Photoscape 3.3 with Kubuntu 8.10 without any problem but 
now it's possible to install but it doesn't work properly. The problem
is
quite obvious with gdiplus.dll.
If I chose the builtin gdiplus.dll Photoscape opens but does not display any 
photos (neither jpg nor png). If I chose the native gdiplus.dll wine crashes. 

Photoscape ships with its own gdiplus.dll.

I've tested wine 1.01 but it behaves similar.

Is someone out there who has any great idea what could be the problem?

I saw that Wine 1.1.30 has a ton of gdiplus improvements. Try using that version
(by compiling Wine yourself or waiting 1 or 2 days for an Ubuntu package) to see
if it fixes anything. If not, install native gdiplus using winetricks.

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=4711

As I noted in the thread I linked to, Photoscape does not crash on my system
with native gdiplus, but I am on openSUSE 11.1. Are you using the Ubuntu Wine
packages, or did you compile Wine yourself? If you are using the packages, the
next logical step is to try compiling Wine yourself and see if Photoscape has
the same problem. If it doesn't, then the problem is in the Ubuntu packages
and a bug should be filed with Ubuntu.

Is your system 32 or 64 bits? Mine is 32 bits; if yours is 64, the crash could
be a 64 bit issue rather than an Ubuntu issue.
