I've written another Windows-to-Linux tutorial showing how to install and configure IrfanView in Linux, including WINE 6.x setup from the upstream repository, program setup, import of settings and plugins from Windows machines, some other tips and tricks, and more. Take a look. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/irfanview-linux.html Cheers, Mrk
Thanks for your article @Mrkvonic, I am using a few of my Windows 'old faithfuls' in Linux Mint using Firetools. Maybe I would face scorn in certain circles but if I like it and it's not doing any harm then I feel it ok. I admit I am hanging on to a GUI usage rather than digging into the command prompt that the true Linux purists use but I'll learn bit by bit, maybe...and anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying Mint and the way that I use it. Linux Mint is the first comfortable usable Linux that I have ever tried and cryptic stuff was always what put me off in other earlier versions of Linux because I was not able to even achieve the basic functions of a day to day operating system that I'd hoped for. I've used some Linux versions that ran from CD in the past but more of a novelty than a daily user I've used IrfanView as my main image viewer in Windows since it first came out and although Linux Mint has a good viewer, the addition of Irfan Viw is not a bad thing. I suppose the thing that I felt uncomfortable with in IrfanView was that it has so many options/choices for file associations that it will be in control of which I've always felt was bit tricky. It is not a bad thing, just a personal worry.
