I use Paint Shop Pro under Wine as my default program for opening JPG files on Linux Puppy.
I did this by setting the "Run action" for JPG files to: wine "/root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Jasc Software Inc/Paint Shop Pro 7/psp.exe" "${@//\//\\}
However, a new instance of PSP is opened every time I open a new JPG. How could I make it so that a newly opened JPG uses the instance of PSP that is already opened?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Opening new JPG files in same instance of PSP under Wine
The "new instance" is a built in feature of PSP this much I read from the Corel webpage. There should be a setting somewhere in the program to stop it, but I am not familar with PSP. I don't see this being much of ado with Wine.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately there is no such setting in the program, The same problem exists in Windows and this is the solution: http://www.pspug.org/cgi-bin/forum/Blah ... 259400734/ but I don't think this is possible with WINE.

First of all do not run Wine or anything else for that matter as root on *NIX. Create a regular user account and do everything using it.noro wrote:I did this by setting the "Run action" for JPG files to: wine "/root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Jasc Software Inc/Paint Shop Pro 7/psp.exe" "${@//\//\\}
Second - that path translation is wrong. Use winepath -w <file> for path translation.
Yes, it is possible in Wine. You will have to add registry settings manually. Then use 'wine start file.jpg' to open your program.noro wrote:The same problem exists in Windows and this is the solution:

Cheers for the reply. Puppy Linux runs as root by default. I missed a quotation mark off the end of the path mentioned above, but it does work okay for me (should I change it to what you suggested)? I'm a Linux newbie so I'm not sure exactly what I should edit in the WINE registry. Any further help on this topic would be much appreciated. Thanks.
