Paint Shop Pro 8 Tips

PSP 8.10 (full CD-ROM version) will install, but then if you try to do anything (ie. flood fill, apply a filter, etc.) you will get the following message:

"Unhandled exception: code = 200, what = unable to create the file."

If you click OK, PSP will exit.

This is a known issue which was resolved while under plain WINE by doing the following:

# chmod ugo=+rwx /tmp/Temp\\ Files
# mkdir /tmp/Temp\\ Files/JSC10024_[username]
# chmode ugo=+rwx /tmp/Temp\\ Files/JSC10024_[username]

Where [username] is your linux login username.

*** THIS FIX DOES NOT WORK IN CROSSOVER OFFICE *** This is due to the fact CrossOver Office uses the C:\\Windows\\Temp directory in the fake windows directory instead. Paint Shop Pro 8 will create a 'Temp Files' directory in there and if you create a 'JSC10024_[username]' directory in that 'Temp Files' directory, then the error occurs. After Paint Shop Pro 8 exits, the directory you created is deleted. As of Jan.29.2004 there is no known fix for it, and I'm still looking into this issue.
