After installing it, you might consider changing the default save folder though. *** FYI-1: For all of you that think there is no "scrolling", or full web page, screen capture program for Linux, there is, and it is called "Fireshot" and it is a wonderful browser add-on (plug-in) that works great. Another cool feature, is that I can take a panoramic screenshot of all 4 of my virtual desktops into 1 image. You can also easily change its options to a default folder for screenshots, and use its default image editor, or select another image editor program that you have installed. +1 for the superb "Shutter" screen capture program. +1 for XnViewMP, an incredibly useful program. In my experience so far, all the other features of FastStone Image Viewer (and users of the program will know what I am talking about) work seamlessly under Wine in Linux Mint. FastStone will now display all the thumbnails of however many images you have in a folder.
And in the next screen, choose "comctl32" and hit OK. Then in the next window select "install a Windows DLL or component". Open winetricks, and choose "select the default wine prefix". I pass it on for the benefit of anyone else interested.Īfter installing FastStone Image Viewer (the latest version is 5.5) using Wine, you need also to install "winetricks" which is available via the Mint software manager.
I recently came across the solution, or workaround. When displaying the thumbnails of images in a folder, it only shows the first 43 (don't ask how or why) in the right-hand panel. The program runs well under Wine apart from one little glitch. I just thought I should post - for others who might want to continue to use FastStone - one tip. e#p1097033 for example - from people who like FastStone. I notice that there are one or two other posts in the forum - in this thread. DigiKam is perhaps the closest rival to FastStone but is evidently designed for the KDE desktop.Īll of which is just background, because (as someone is bound to say!) it is possible to run FastStone in Linux Mint by using Wine. I simply haven't got used to the most common Linux alternatives: Shotwell is pretty good. Picasa too intrusive (and I'm not a great fan of Google apps). GIMP is too elaborate and user-unfriendly (unless you are a real tech fanatic). Zoner is the only other one I have used which runs it close.
It is freeware, and the image viewing, editing and organising program that - for me - is head and shoulders above all others. But I set up dual boot, and still have Win7 on my laptop, just because there are one or two programs designed for Windows that I really like and am very accustomed to,and where I haven't yet fully been persuaded of the merits of the Linux alternatives. I shed few tears when I left Windows behind and moved to Linux Mint as my main OS.
