------- Additional Comments From daire.byrne@framestore-cfc.com 2006-15-12 06:32 ------- The startup of PS8 is probably the same as for "CS2" and is related to lots of "PIDL" errors being dumped in the shell on startup. It takes around 3 minutes for these to stop and then photoshop CS2 runs fine.
err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only! err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only! err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only! err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only!
You can speed up the startup and get rid of these errors by using real DLLs and the following overrides (as documented in the AppDB Howto):
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="shell32,shlwapi,rpcrt4,comdlg32,setupapi=n" wine Photoshop.exe
However this seems to break the load and save dialogs for me and overall makes photoshop CS2 less stable (I used winxp DLLs). A fix for the "PIDL" errors would make CS/CS2 almost as good as Photoshop 7 under wine. Bug #5347 is probably a duplicate of this.
