Wine and PDN?

[del_diablo]

Attempting to do a complete portover to Linux over here, but i lack someting before i can move on: Worlds best grapic editor: Paint.Net..........

The Gimp is far too complex along with a way too messy controlls and allmsot impossible to have any clue on the layers. It even have trouble saving files in 1 layer(needs confirmation <.<).

Recently i just pasted over my install of PDN to my wine's C folder under programs and attempted to run it, failed.

How do i use PDN using Wine or is Mono version comming along enogh yet?

According to PDN's entry in the WineDB the current version is not compatible with the current version of wine. Alternatively you could try PaintMono, but there are less plugins availible for it. If you are unsure how to build it I will happily post a build here.

There is no support for the source code at all, so let's stop that conversation right there.

There is no official version of Paint.NET for Mono, nor is one in progress, nor am I planning one. Paint.NET will remain Windows-only for the foreseeable future. I just don't have the time to do it all, sorry man.

However, do a search (on Google) for "paint-mono" and you'll find the "unofficial in that it isn't from Rick" but "official in that it's from Miguel de Icaza" (who's the main Mono guy btw) ... port. Miguel's got some blog posts and a Google Code project. Unfortunately the whole thing never really made it to completion and hasn't been updated much at all.
