Need some help running my photo-editing app!

Post by AZUREAS »

I'm totally new to Wine, and I'm not a Linux expert in any means.
In my Windows system(I use dual-boot), I use PhotoScape X(Not normal PhotoScape) for ALL my photo-editing needs & some work.
But, as a quick search in this app suggests, this is a Microsoft Store app.
People say there's some versions outside of the Microsoft Store floating on some piracy websites, but I'm not around for those things.
Anyways, there's some way to run this app in Linux? I love it so much!

The app: http://x.photoscape.org/
PS: I already tried to e-mail them about Linux support, no response yet.

I have not tested the entire program, but it seems to work normally with the following steps:
  • Use a website like adguard.net to get the URL for the MooiiTech.PhotoScapeX_4.1.appx file.
  • Download the file

Code: Select all

curl -o photoscapex.zip "http://tlu.dl.del ..."
  • Use 7zip to extract this file.

Code: Select all

7z x photoscapex.zip PhotoScapeX
  • Move the PhotoScapeX folder into your wineprefix.

Code: Select all

mv PhotoScapeX/ ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/
  • Set the Windows version to Windows 10.

Code: Select all

winecfg -v win10
  • Start the program.

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/PhotoScapeX
wine PhotoScapeX.exe
