Most severe is, you can not save your work, because the file requester crashes (halfway visible, buttons and contents missing). (Because my install is in German language, the actual menu item names may differ.) Also some other things like clicking on blur/sharpen tool crashes. The bad thing is that the file requester causes a crash so you can not save your work (you may try a screenshot). Then you need to disable the active mask and set the drawing mode of the brush to standard (initially something wrong is selected) and choose a colour (other than white) to draw something. Yet I used for this Picture Publisher 8 on my main PC (Colani bigtower) for major photo rework jobs, but because the highend Win98SE machine (AMD 768MB RAM) became completely overloaded with this work (160GB harddrive full to the brim and FAT32 too slow), I installed an additional modern ITX mainboard with AMD 2400G and 8TB harddrive running Linux Mint 20.1 with KDE 5 Plasma and WINE 6.3 (using PlayOnLinux to switch versions).Īfter installing Micrografx Picture Publisher 8 (German version) in WINE 6.3, the canvas does not react on drawing, so first you need to disable DirectDraw mode in "Display" menu(?). I examined it with DependencyWalker but found no solution.Īs a collector and hardware researcher of music keyboards and soundtoys, for reference I keep on my harddisk some 10000 downloaded old eBay pages (consisting each of a HTML page and directory with media contents) and have some 100000 own digicam photos of hardware details etc. Unfortunately it does not run in WINE on modern hardware. My most important graphics program for drawing and complex photo editing is Micrografx Picture Publisher 8.
