dll file to your ~/.wine folder in the same sub-folder as it was in the windows install. Download and install IrfanView from one of the recommended sites. What formats can IrfanView view and save The program can be used to both.

You will also need the winetricks package to install the mfc42.dll (I think that is the missing file), or if you run windows version as well you can simply copy that. I also have recommendations for Mac software and Linux software. There are workarounds to enable running the program on Mac OS X and Linux as well. If you still prefer IV download the windows setup executables and run them under wine to install it. Have a look at that if you don't know it and it may surprise you.

However, for my purposes it is no better than gthumb. I have to admit that he is correct even though it is 6 years since I used windows, so I don't really know how much IV has developed on that platform, I looked recently at IV-4.3 and it is still largely as I remember it very good. If you go to the IV website you will find some questions about a linux version, but the developer says (more or less) that it is not worth it as it runs so well under wine.

I agree totally it is a terrific application. I used Irfan-View in my windows days, and apart from Gimp it was almost the only graphics application I ever used.
